Do you want to make a real difference using your finance and administrative skills in a global mission context?

OMF International (UK) is seeking a detail-focused Payroll Officer to play a vital role in processing payroll and pensions for our UK-based staff, members, and retirees. Your work will support the smooth running of financial processes that enable us to share the good news of Jesus Christ with East Asia’s peoples.

You will bring experience in payroll systems (preferably Sage), a high level of accuracy, and a heart for global mission. Working closely with the Finance team, this role includes processing donations, reconciling credit cards, and supporting our Creation Care reporting.

Occupational Requirement

This role is subject to an Occupational Requirement in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010. The post holder must be a practising Christian, an active member of a local church, and be able to clearly demonstrate a personal commitment to OMF’s mission, values and ethos as outlined in our Ethos Statement.

• Enjoys working to high standards and can meet tight deadlines
• Is supportive of OMF’s mission to share Christ across cultures

Are you passionate about volunteers and digital inclusion? Join us to coordinate Bexley’s Digital Champions, inspiring and supporting volunteers to help residents navigate the online world with confidence.

The digital world is all around us, yet many residents are being left behind. Around one in twenty adults has never used the internet, and many more struggle with access, skills, or confidence. This digital divide affects employment, healthcare, social connection, and other areas that directly impact quality of life. This is your chance to make a real difference — empowering people to access healthcare, services, and opportunities in an increasingly digital world.

Bexley Voluntary Service Council (BVSC) is looking for an organised and enthusiastic Volunteer Coordinator to lead our growing Digital Champions project. You’ll recruit, train, and support a network of volunteer Digital Champions who help residents gain the confidence and skills to use technology in their everyday lives.

From sending an email or applying for a Blue Badge to accessing online GP services — your work will help make sure no one in Bexley is left behind as life moves increasingly online.
 

About the role

As our Volunteer Coordinator, you will:

· Recruit, train, and support volunteer Digital Champions across Bexley.

· Build partnerships with community groups and local organisations to reach residents who need support.

· Organise regular volunteer meet-ups, training sessions, and peer learning opportunities.

· Monitor and report on project activity and outcomes.

· Promote the Digital Champions network and share its impact locally and beyond.

This is a community-focused coordination role — perfect for someone who loves working with people, supporting volunteers, and building meaningful partnerships. You don’t need to be a tech expert — just confident using digital tools and enthusiastic about helping others learn.

About you

We’d love to hear from you if you:

· Have experience supporting or managing volunteers.

· Are confident using digital tools (like email, forms, and video calls) and can explain them clearly to others.

· Enjoy building relationships and working collaboratively with partners.

· Are organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple tasks.

· Care about inclusion and want to help reduce digital inequalities.
