Help make adventure accessible

We are a small, ambitious charity empowering visually impaired adults through adventurous activities including hiking, climbing, tandem cycling, caving, canoeing and open water swimming, delivered mainly through residential weekends.

We are seeking a Business Operations Lead to help ensure our organisation runs smoothly, sustainably and compliantly, enabling our team to deliver life-changing experiences safely and effectively.

This varied, hands-on role works closely with Trustees and oversees:

• Financial management (budgeting, cash flow, payroll and reporting)

• Governance, compliance and risk management

• Operational systems (bookings, invoices and communication with clients)

• HR administration and admin team management

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has experience in financial management and budgeting

• Is highly organised with strong attention to detail

• Understands governance, compliance and risk management

• Can work independently in a small, collaborative team

• Shares our commitment to inclusion and empowering visually impaired adults

Experience in the charity sector, safeguarding, health & safety, or outdoor/residential programmes would be welcome but is not essential.

This is an opportunity to take on real responsibility in a purpose-driven organisation where your work directly supports transformative experiences.
