StandOut is an exciting and growing organisation that equips men who are coming up for release from prison with the skills, confidence and mindset to succeed. The StandOut Programme was launched in HMP Wandsworth in 2017 and in the Autumn of 2019, we expanded our reach into HMP Pentonville. Covid19 put a temporary pause on Programme delivery but we expect to work with our prison partners to re-establish delivery as soon as release from lock down permits. In the interim we have pivoted our approach and set up a Helpline to support prison leavers from our partner prisons and we expect this work to continue for the foreseeable future.
The StandOut Programme runs in three-phases, beginning with a 12 day course in prison and continuing work with trainees up to their release date and through the gate after release. Unusually, StandOut support is then offered for as long as it is required.
The Finance and Operations Manager is a new role for StandOut and offers an excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual to play an important part in our future development.
You will be responsible for the smooth day to day running of the charity overseeing the operational and financial management aspects of StandOut. You will work with the founders to help build on the success of StandOut’s first 3 years and the role will form part of the Senior team, working closely with the Founder/CEO, Development Manager and Director of Programmes.
You will have understanding, and experience, of the business and financial skills needed to ensure the full operational function is fit for purpose, meeting the needs of a growing, fast paced charity. You will bring the ability to evaluate, adapt and create the effective and economical processes needed for StandOut’s operations to thrive, problem solving operational challenges where needed.
You will be a great organiser who does not shy away from a challenge. Flexible, enthusiastic and highly motivated, you will have great communication skills with the ability to build relationships with a range of diverse stakeholders. You will bring your professional excellence to all aspects of the role.
You will share StandOut’s values and gain an understanding of our work to ensure that the passion and commitment demonstrated by the coaching team is reflected in these key operational areas.

Envision is a social mobility charity which enables young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to develop their confidence and skills by empowering them to tackle the social problems they care about most. See what we do here: https://bit.ly/342nCv1
With rising youth unemployment and less opportunities for work experience during the pandemic new ways of developing young people are desperately needed. Our Community-Apprentice Programme brings together secondary schools and local businesses to enrich education for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. A rigorous randomised control trial provides evidence that our model develops some of the most critical soft skills for life and work.
This year we are celebrating our 20th anniversary and looking for a new Chief Executive who can build on our achievements by scaling our programmes to reach more young people.
Although you will bring experience of leading teams and ensuring quality, you’ll be attracted by the external focus of the role and relish the opportunity to build our profile and partnerships that will be key to our growth.
You’ll bring a proven track record in a senior, strategic leadership role within an organisation that has demonstrated significant growth and the ability to scale. In return we’ll offer you a topical cause, a proven solution and an opportunity to make a difference.
About Envision
Britain has a deep social mobility problem. Envision is committed to changing this by helping to build a society in which success in life is not predetermined by the economic wellbeing of your parents or the post code where you grew up.
We achieve this by enabling young people from disadvantaged communities to develop the confidence and skills they need to set ambitious goals, and then overcome the barriers they face in order to achieve those goals.
Our approach is proven to work by the most rigorous of evaluation methodologies. Our challenge is to grow this solution to enable more young people to benefit.
Our programme, Community-Apprentice is, as the name suggests, a practical learning experience for young people. It is delivered by organisations and volunteers drawn from the local community - schools, businesses and local charities - brought together by Envision. These organisations invest in young people. In return young people invest their time back in the community.
We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities, and are committed to having an organisation that is made up of diverse skills, experiences and abilities.
Closing date for applications: 5 pm Monday 30th November
