Job description

The Senior Finance & Operations Manager is a multi-functional role at the heart of Peer Power Youth. You will ensure that the charity is well-run, financially sound, compliant, safe, and operating in line with our mission and values. This role oversees our core business functions : finance coordination, HR processes, charity governance, risk, compliance, systems, facilities oversight and office management, with some support from external contractors e.g. for HR and IT.

A key part of your role is supporting the CEO and the Board. You will prepare meeting papers, ensure timely management accounts and reports, maintain compliance calendars, and help ensure trustees have the insight they need to make strategic decisions. Your work will enable the Chief Executive, senior leadership team and youth engagement teams to focus on delivering impact for children and young people.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, responsibility and problem-solving and who wants to help build a thriving, values-led, empathetic organisation.

We recognise that people bring experience from different sectors. If your background is in education (e.g. as a Bursar or Business Manager), the public sector, or another values-driven organisation, we encourage you to apply and help us understand how your skills translate to this role.
