About the role

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Operations Lead to play a vital role at the heart of our organisation. This is a senior, hands-on post that combines strategic oversight with day-to-day delivery across all core operational functions - including HR, governance, IT and data, finance administration, and internal systems. You will lead the development and continuous improvement of the charity’s infrastructure, ensuring we are well-run, compliant, and set up to deliver real impact. Working closely with the Chief Executive and senior leadership team, you’ll take ownership of the systems and processes that enable our frontline work and support our future growth. The role involves both direct delivery and coordination - particularly through managing relationships with key external service providers in IT, HR, and finance. You’ll ensure these partnerships are effective, responsive, and aligned with the organisation’s needs. There may also be future opportunities to line manage an Operations Assistant or similar role, as the organisation continues to grow and develop its internal capacity. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives on problem-solving, values good systems, and wants to help build a resilient and well-run organisation from the inside out.

About You

You’re an experienced operational professional who takes pride in making organisations work smoothly, efficiently, and compliantly. You have a strong track record of leading core operational functions - from HR and governance to finance processes, IT systems, and internal infrastructure - and you’re confident balancing both day-to-day delivery and strategic oversight. You understand what it means to work in a small charity: you're flexible, solutions-focused, and comfortable rolling up your sleeves when needed. But you also bring a mindset for continuous improvement - always looking for ways to strengthen systems, manage risk, and support others to do their best work. You’re confident working with external providers and partners, ensuring that outsourced support (in areas like HR, IT and finance) is well-managed and meets the needs of the organisation. You communicate clearly, build strong relationships across teams and disciplines, and take a thoughtful, values-led approach to your work. Most of all, you're motivated by the chance to contribute behind the scenes to meaningful change — ensuring that the operational foundations are in place for the charity to thrive and deliver real impact.

About Speakers Trust
Speakers Trust is the UK's leading public speaking charity, which delivers training and events to ensure all young people develop the skills and confidence to speak and be heard.
Each year, we work with over 40,000 young people, helping them develop the confidence to share their ideas and stories out loud. Our work transforms lives - every day we see and hear stories of young people who have found their voice and discovered the power of speaking up.
We operate through two key areas: (i) we deliver a national schools programme to more than one in five state secondary schools delivering workshops and events and publishing leading educational resources. (ii) we work with third sector organisations to deliver workshops and events with the joint aims of amplifying youth voice and supporting the financial sustainability of the charity- an exciting growth area that this role will help shape and lead.

The Role
This role is focused on managing and growing our work with other third sector organisations. It focuses on two areas: (i) developing our social enterprise which delivers over 150 paid workshops each year and (ii) delivering youth voice initiatives with other charity partners which amplify young voices. We're creating this new position to drive our strategic mission while enabling our Head of Fundraising to focus on individual giving, corporates, and larger trusts and foundations.
It is an opportunity to craft your own role by using your entrepreneurial skills to grow the charity’s enterprise income and giving you the opportunity to grow with it.
All colleagues are expected to also play a role in supporting Speakers Trust’s broader strategic objectives.

Enterprise Development (Primary Focus)

•  Grow our established “paid for” workshop delivery (currently 150+ workshops annually) by building   relationships with third sector organisations, developing new products, promotions and selling public   speaking workshops to those with budget to pay for them.
•  Drive successful growth in enterprise contribution to the charity's finances through increased net income
•  Manage the full commercial cycle from prospecting and enquiry to delivery and invoicing
•  Work with our impressive existing client base while actively developing new partnerships
•  Match client needs with our established freelance trainer network

 Youth Voice Programmes

• Successfully deliver flagship programmes like "My Maiden Speech" - our high-profile, transformative multi-organisation youth voice programme
• Develop and deliver new youth voice initiatives that amplify marginalised voices
• Engage new partners and showcase our transformative work
• Manage events, logistics, and complex stakeholder relationships across multiple organisations
• Maximise the potential of these programmes to generate new funding sources to expand this part of our work.

Supporting Speakers Trust's Broader Objectives

• As part of our collaborative team of 10, you'll also contribute to our success through:
• Supporting fundraising events and activities to help achieve our income targets
• Contributing to events for our schools programme and other initiatives where needed
• Coordinating smaller projects across the charity as opportunities and needs arise
• Supporting the CEO and team with tasks that help make Speakers Trust a great place to work
• Contributing to solutions for the usual challenges faced by small charities - bringing creativity and problem-solving skills
• Representing Speakers Trust at external events and networking opportunities
• Sharing knowledge and expertise with colleagues to strengthen our collective impact

What Success Looks Like

• Sustainable growth in our enterprise workshop programme and net income contribution
• Successful delivery of multiple youth voice programmes and events throughout the year
• New funding streams secured for youth voice initiatives
• Expanded partner network and stronger stakeholder relationships
• Enhanced profile and awareness of Speakers Trust's work
• Effective contribution to broader team success

Are you someone who thrives on accuracy, organisation, and meaningful impact?  Join us as a Finance & Compliance Executive and help us deliver the essential work that keeps our youth-focused programmes thriving.

You’ll be at the heart of the action—tracking funding, compiling reports, monitoring contract compliance, and liaising with staff to ensure our delivery meets all necessary guidelines. Your attention to detail will help maintain accurate records, support timely claim submissions, and ensure we meet funder expectations with confidence and clarity. Being a whizz at Excel will also help immensely in this role. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is methodical, collaborative, and passionate about making a difference behind the scenes. You'll work with teams across the organisation, support compliance with vital audit requirements, and help shape action plans that drive ongoing improvements.

• To actively promote, explore and develop ways of working with organisations and statutory agencies within Milton Keynes

If you feel you are the right person to join our board, we would be delighted to hear from you!

The Organisation

Age UK Milton Keynes was established in June 1978 as Age Concern and became Age UK Milton Keynes when Age Concern and Help the Aged were merged in 2011. Age UK Milton Keynes is a local independent charity working to improve the quality of life for all older people living in Milton Keynes.

At Age UK Milton Keynes we are committed to encouraging equity, diversity and inclusion among our workforce, and eliminating discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our customers, and for each employee/volunteer to feel respected and able to give their best. In the search for our new CEO we would be particularly pleased to receive applications from people who come from groups that are often underrepresented, knowing that our work only benefits from a truly diverse staff team.
