More about the Role

Are you a skilled operations professional with a background in finance?

We have a brand-new opportunity at Lifeworks Charity, for a Director of Operations (Finance & Support Services) to play a crucial role in our Central Support team. You will drive the sustainable growth and operational efficiency of the charity, directly contributing to our charitable impact.

You’ll blend your financial expertise with your keen eye for operational oversight in this hybrid role, ensuring our resources are managed effectively to benefit the young people and families we support.

What you’ll do:

Finance

– Manage and maintain all financial aspects of the charity, including (but not limited to), budgeting, forecasting, reporting, ledgers, balance sheets, bank reconciliations, debtor accounts, cash flow management, insurances, property and procurement.
– Take a lead on the development of financial and fundraising processes and strategies.
– Manage and be the main point of contact for all aspects of ESFA and DfE funding compliance and reporting.
– Lead a small team to deliver outstanding support to the charity and act as a key financial advisor to managers across the organisation.
– Produce clear and concise monthly management accounts and provide financial insights to senior managers and the Board of Trustees.
– Working closely with external auditors, prepare and oversee our year end accounts.

Operations

– Ensure that charity governance and compliance is upheld, by contributing to record maintenance, managing registers and supporting with reviews of policies and procedures.
– Work with our external IT partners to manage our technology. You will make sure that the correct infrastructure, systems and processes are in the right place at the right time.
– Lead on IT security for the charity, implementing regular reviews to monitor compliance.
– Act as the Data Controller and manage all areas of data protection regulations, always prioritising data security.
– Develop and review charity policies as necessary, ensuring they align with best practices and legal requirements.
– Ensure compliance of Health and Safety policies, liaising with external advisors to maintain safety within the workplace.

Last but not least, we are looking for someone that is an advocate for people with learning disabilities and shares our common goal of making sure the people we support achieve their best lives with us. You may not be involved in the day-to-day work with our service users, but the work you will do is vital to the success of our charity.

About you

What we’re looking for:

You’ll be a motivated and experienced professional who is passionate about making a difference. You should be:

– ACCA/CIMA/ACA part-qualified with significant experience (or fully qualified is a bonus!).
– A proven leader with the ability to inspire and develop a team.
– An expert in financial management, from budgeting to reporting.
– An excellent communicator who can clearly explain complex financial information to all audiences.
– Experienced in managing a broad portfolio, ideally including Health and Safety, IT, or facilities.
– Knowledgeable about governance frameworks and risk management.

If you are a strategic thinker with a hands-on approach and a desire to contribute to a vital cause, we would love to hear from you.

Job Benefits

We’re passionate about supporting our staff just as much as we are about supporting our service users. When you join our team, you can expect:

– An hourly rate above the Real Living Wage
– A holiday entitlement of 33 days’ holiday (inclusive of bank holidays)
– A fully funded DBS check and update service to ensure a smooth onboarding process
– Access to valuable resources including an employee assistance program to support your mental and emotional health

Who we are

Since 1996, we’ve been empowering people with learning disabilities in Devon to achieve their dreams and build fulfilling lives. Our core values of kindness, respect, and positivity guide everything we do.

Building a diverse and safe team:

At Lifeworks, we’re committed to fostering a workplace that reflects the diversity of our community. As a Disability Confident Employer, we actively encourage applications from individuals with disabilities who meet the job criteria, and we guarantee qualified candidates with disabilities an interview.

Lifeworks is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk. To achieve this commitment, we will ensure the continuous development, improvement and review of robust safeguarding processes and procedures that continuously promote a culture of vigilance in respect of safeguarding within our organisation. All staff undergo Safer Recruitment checks which include pre-employment checks, reference checks, and a DBS check with Barred List checks (where applicable).

Please contact Charley in HR if you should require any support (including completing the application process using other formats) or require any further information about the role.

Early applications encouraged!

This vacancy is scheduled to close on the 19th of July, but may close earlier if suitable candidates are identified. So, to ensure your application is considered, ensure you apply early!

The interview format will consist of 3 parts; a formal interview assessment, a short presentation and a Q&A with staff members. If you are selected for interview, further details will be shared ahead of the above date.

Apply today and tell us why you’d be a great fit for our team.

Please note that this role was previously advertised as Operations Manager. We ask that previous applicants of this role need not reapply.

We’d appreciate no contact from agencies regarding this role. We are only accepting direct applications.
