ABOUT CHILDREN WITH VOICES
Children With Voices is a grassroots children's charity with over 25 years of experience supporting children and families across London. Based at Fawcett Estate Community Hall in Clapton, Hackney, we run a Community Food Hub, alternative education, SEN support, and community programmes including Jumping Beans. We have supported over 100,000 families and are recognised nationally for our work.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
As we grow, we need an experienced Operations Manager to help us run well behind the scenes — so everything on the frontline can keep delivering. This is a meaningful voluntary leadership role for someone with professional experience in operations, HR, or management who wants their skills to count for something real.
You will work closely with the CEO and senior team to ensure the organisation runs efficiently, compliantly, and in line with our values.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead and coordinate day-to-day operations to ensure efficiency and alignment with organisational goals
• Support departments to stay aligned, compliant, and focused on delivery
• Identify opportunities to streamline processes, maximise resources, and improve impact
HR Oversight
• Oversee HR policies, compliance, and staff wellbeing in line with UK employment law and safeguarding requirements
• Support recruitment and onboarding — fair, inclusive, and safeguarding-compliant
• Provide HR guidance to managers and staff; escalate to external expertise when needed
• Maintain oversight of volunteer engagement and HR record keeping
Finance Oversight
• Supervise the Finance Coordinator (10 hrs/week) and provide accountability for financial administration
• Monitor budgets, financial reports, and expenditure in line with charity governance standards
• Ensure accurate, timely reporting to the CEO and Trustees
• Liaise with accountants, auditors, and external advisors as required
Leadership & Governance
• Work alongside the CEO, Trustees, and senior team to align operations with organisational strategy
• Provide assurance of compliance with safeguarding, data protection, charity law, and employment legislation
• Model organisational values of safeguarding, equity, inclusion, and community impact
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• Experience in operations, management, or a related professional field
• Working knowledge of HR processes and UK employment law
• Financially literate — comfortable with budgets, reports, and financial summaries
• Familiar with charity governance, safeguarding, and compliance requirements
• Confident, values-led, and able to hold accountability with care
• Highly organised, reliable, and able to manage competing priorities
• Committed to equity, inclusion, and community impact
This is a voluntary senior leadership role — unpaid, but with real scope and real responsibility. We are looking for someone who brings professional-level experience and wants to use it in the service of children and families in Hackney.
