Chair of the Methodist Modern Art Collection Management Committee The Vacancy: Are you an enthusiast for the value of Modern art to Christian discipleship, mission and evangelism? Are you familiar with the strategies and ethos of the Methodist Church and experienced with the operation of committees/trustee bodies. If so, you could be the next volunteer Chair of the Management Committee for the Methodist Modern Art Collection. We are seeking a new Chair to provide strategic leadership to the Management Committee in promoting, developing and using the Methodist Modern Art Collection to deliver on the strategic aims of the Methodist Church to be inclusive and justice-seeking, evangelistic and growing, a safe space and environmentally conscious. Exhibitions of the artworks are planned to encourage people to have conversations about God in Christ in the contemporary world, and the Committee offer material to encourage use of the images to bring new dimensions to study, worship and spiritual life. This expert volunteer Management Committee of curators, art historians and others passionate about art in worship and for mission are advocates for the Collection, support borrowers to conceive their exhibitions and interpret the art and advise on conservation and occasional acquisitions. The Chair will lead three or four Management Committee meetings per year (with one usually in person), with electronic communication and working groups convened online as required in between. Occasional in-person meetings, representing the Management Committee and visits to support exhibitions of the Collection, are expected as part of this role, for which all reasonable expenses are paid. The Collection There are almost 60 artworks by leading artists of the last 100 years in this very special collection: artists of Christian faith, other beliefs and none. The Collection is owned by the Methodist Church and illustrates many aspects of the Christian Gospel narrative. The Collection began in 1962 as a touring Collection. We continue to tour the artworks: last year notably to 3Generate, the Methodist Children & Youth Assembly at the NEC, Birmingham, and to five church and gallery venues for Bradford 2025, UK City of Culture, with reproductions in six further bars and cafes. The latest display was at St Mary's Church, Guildford, for Lent 2026. It will be key to this role for the Chair to help the Management Committee and Connexional staff team to extend the reach of the Collection, and a priority to progress identifying and working with a partner organisation to establish a new home base for the Collection from which to tour and where artworks can be put on display between exhibitions elsewhere. Find out more about the artworks and how they are managed and toured, including the brief for the new home, at: The Methodist Modern Art Collection - The Methodist Church To arrange an informal conversation about this role, please contact: Closing Date: 12 noon on Monday 8 June 2026. Interviews will be held in person at the Methodist Church's offices in Tavistock Place, London, on Tuesday 23 June 2026.

The title might look familiar but life at Hedges is anything but. We know the challenges that come with risk and compliance roles in legal practice - firefighting, box-ticking, outdated systems, and being brought in after decisions are made. That s not how we do things. At Hedges Law , we ve reimagined the traditional model by putting decisions in the hands of the people who actually drive the business forward - including those who protect it. Here, risk and compliance isn t a back-office function - it s a strategic voice at the table, shaping decisions, policies and safeguards alongside people who are genuinely invested in the firm s long-term success. And as one of the UK s most progressive law firms, you won t just advise the business, you ll profit from success - no waiting around for a Financial Freedom Day that may never come.

BAE Systems Launchpad is designed to transform breakthrough ideas into real-world impact at speed, where these don't fit into our current strategic product portfolio. By harnessing the ingenuity and skill of our people, the power of our technology and the agility of the start-up ecosystem, we're rapidly developing technology that has strong commercial value outside of defence. BAE Systems Launchpad will also develop and invest in early-stage defence technology that's not currently mature enough to take forward into our core businesses.

We accelerate early stage, potentially transformative defence research currently in early development and spin out our own advanced technology for use outside defence working closely with the venture capital ecosystem and academic institutions This aligns with a key priority outlined in the UK's Defence Industrial Strategy, which calls for "constant innovation at wartime pace" and highlights the need for more successful spinouts from UK-developed technologies. The programme is designed to leverage BAE Systems' position as a technology pioneer to support national priorities, including rapid technology incubation, sovereign capability and economic growth. It also provides start-ups with access to customers across a broader range of sectors, like energy and advanced manufacturing. Find out more at; Why BAE Systems?

About us Foxglove is a non-profit that exists to make the use of technology fair for all. When Big Tech companies abuse their power, their workers or the planet - and when governments use technology to oppress, exclude or discriminate - we litigate and campaign to fix it. Big Tech companies have become so large - gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data - that they're now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere - threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers' rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Big Tech and AI data centres are rapidly expanding, resulting in huge strain on energy and water supplies. Worldwide governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI. Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We have a strong track record. We've launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech's harmful business models , supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama - winning world-first judgements. We're urging competition regulators worldwide to stop Google's theft of independent news . We've filed the UK's first legal challenge to a data centre permission decision , forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm , helped make grading fair for UK A-level students and challenged the Department of Work and Pension's use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations. We are a small but growing team of lawyers, communications experts, and campaigners. We are a CIC , not a practising law firm. We partner with legal firms on cases, directing litigation in multiple jurisdictions. Our work is global, and we work in partnership with lawyers, civil society, unions, and people impacted by Big Tech. About you You are a highly experienced lawyer with a strong interest in using the law to hold governments and companies to account. You see the law as a tool for structural change, not just individual wins. You think strategically about how litigation, campaigning, and coalition-building can work together. You appreciate the value and impact of movements and are as comfortable drafting legal arguments as you are speaking to a journalist, or rallying those who've never heard of judicial review to a joint cause. You care about power, meaning who has it, who doesn't, and how to shift it. You follow the ways Big Tech and governments are reshaping society, and you don't just find it interesting: it makes you want to act. You're a sharp, compelling writer who can make complex legal arguments land with different audiences. You're a self-starter who spots opportunities and runs with them, but you're equally invested in the team around you. You share credit generously, help sharpen others' thinking, and understand that lasting change is collective. Most importantly, you believe in making the use of technology fair for all. If this is you; if you want to take on some of the most powerful companies and governments in the world, and you think the law is one of the tools we have to do it; if you are seeking a role where the work is urgent and the stakes are real, we would love to hear from you. The role The post holder will work alongside our Co-Executive Director, Head of Legal and Legal Administrator in developing and managing Foxglove's legal work. You will develop and drive forward a significant number and range of cases, including the development of case theories, investigating and collecting evidence, drafting correspondence, evidence and submissions. You will also be responsible for coordinating and managing external legal teams, in multiple jurisdictions. This will require you to have the comfort and ability to navigate diverse settings, while also having the insight to weigh up the benefits and challenges of pursuing cases in different jurisdictions. You will serve as an external representative for Foxglove's work, writing and speaking on topics of relevance. You will also be a sparring partner for others in the team, bringing a creative mindset and political savviness. UK and international travel are required. Flexibility with working hours will sometimes be needed. Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Case Development and Management: Build connections, and listen to affected communities, unearth and pursue issues caused by tech injustice, coming up with innovative legal solutions. Build and maintain relationships with impacted community members, unions, other lawyers, experts, co-counsel, intervenors, civil society organisations, whistleblowers, and the public. Explore and develop new and undiscovered opportunities for Foxglove to be impactful and effective in our work. Effectively work with the co-Executive Director and Head of Legal to develop and implement Foxglove's legal strategy. Manage multiple cases at any one time, while also thinking to the future regarding cases that should be explored and developed. Draft and comment on technical and legal documents and correspondence. Lead evidence gathering. Compliance and Risk Management: Manage court deadlines and time limits where applicable. Ensure regulatory compliance in all aspects of your work and our cases. Always maintain the strictest standards of client confidentiality. Always maintain the strictest concern for and awareness of data protection and Foxglove policies. Keep up to date with the global political and litigation landscape concerning tech justice. Other: Help ensure communities', workers' and affected individual's voices are heard in our campaigns, communications and advocacy work. Contribute to external representation and writing, including through media appearances, social media posts, blogs and op-eds. Contribute to the development of materials for advocacy purposes including video or audio testimony, photographs etc. Support others in our legal team, across Foxglove, and the relevant ecosystem in developing strategies to use the law to hold governments and companies to account.

Creative thinking and imagination. A strong interest in using the law to hold governments and companies to account. Qualified lawyer in any jurisdiction with at least 10 years of legal experience. Significant experience in legal practice in the UK. Demonstrable commitment to supporting marginalised communities to access justice. Ability to learn new areas of law quickly and develop new areas of work. Good political antennae and excellent relationship building and management skills. Experience conducting cases from initial advice through to trial. Relevant experience in analysing complex factual and legal situations and helping to advise clients in accordance with their aims. Experience in dealing sensitively with clients, whistleblowers and experts. Experience in working on complex matters, which require analysis of large amounts of documents and data. Excellent communication skills, demonstrated by the ability to communicate accurately, clearly, concisely and persuasively, both verbally and in writing. Excellent time management skills demonstrated by the ability to organise and prioritise a complex workload and work to tight deadlines. Experience in working and leading a team environment. Comfort with working at both the details-driven operational level and big-picture strategic level, as well as the ability to navigate between the two. Length and Salary The role is permanent. The annual salary is £88,400 per annum less any required deductions for income tax and national insurance. Our team works remotely, and this role can be based anywhere. We would prefer you to work within or close to UK office hours, but this is flexible. Our team travels every two months for team days and twice a year for team retreats. This role will include significant UK and international travel. Only candidates with the right to work in their location will be considered.

We are looking for a Joint Venture Partner in Cheltenham to open a new IOLLA showroom in the near future, introducing modern, design-led eyewear to one of the UK's most polished and affluent towns. IOLLA is offering a limited number of Joint Venture Partnerships to ambitious optical professionals who want to step into true business ownership with the backing of an independent, founder-led brand.

About IOLLA Founded in Scotland, IOLLA designs and manufactures its own frames and lenses, selling directly to customers at transparent, honest prices. We operate seven award-winning showrooms and have served hundreds of thousands of customers. We are independent, design-led and people-first - not corporate, not volume-driven, and not built like traditional multiples.

This is a genuine entrepreneurial opportunity for professionals ready to move from employed to owner. Who We're Looking For Experienced optical professionals (Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians, Retail Managers, Optical Assistants ready to step up) Individuals with strong leadership capability Commercially minded and motivated by ownership Community-focused and customer-first Ready to take accountability for performance, people and growth You do not need previous business ownership experience but you do need drive, resilience and ambition. Cheltenham Cheltenham is affluent, polished and community-driven. Strong festivals, strong education, strong heritage. Customers here invest in quality and expect service to match. An IOLLA showroom would feel premium yet approachable; a modern addition to a traditional town centre. For the right partner, Cheltenham is about refinement and long-term equity. Investment & Commitment This is a capital-backed partnership opportunity requiring personal investment and external funding. We are looking for serious candidates who are ready to explore ownership properly review financials, sign an NDA and enter structured discussions. We have selected specific priority locations with strong commercial potential. When they are filled, they are filled. Why IOLLA? Because optics can be better. Better for customers. Better for teams.

ABOUT THE BUSINESS We are a commercially driven, high-growth business that combines a media organisation, a growth programme for ambitious UK founders and CEOs, and - in the near future - a marketplace. We are tracking 5m in revenue this year and have a clear, credible plan to scale to 70m+ over the next three years. The business is owned and fully funded by Sir Richard Harpin - founder of HomeServe, which he built from a kitchen-table idea into a FTSE-listed home services business before its sale to Brookfield in 2024 for 4.1bn. Sir Richard is now deploying his operating experience and personal capital behind a single, ambitious mission: to double the number of large companies in the UK. This business sits at the heart of that mission, equipping the founders and leadership teams who will build them. Because the business is fully funded by Sir Richard there is no requirement to raise external capital, meaning leadership focus stays on commercial execution, operational discipline, and value creation rather than fundraising cycles. Having established early product-market and a growing commercial pipeline, we are building the leadership infrastructure to deliver the next phase of growth at pace. The CFO is a key partner to the CEO and carries a meaningful growth equity package, providing direct alignment with the long-term value being built. ROLE PURPOSE The CFO will serve as the commercial and financial engine of the business. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a commercially minded finance leader who has navigated the complexities of scale-up growth-from managing day-to-day financial operations through to board-level strategic reporting. You will be as comfortable completing the month-end close and a 12-week cash forecast as you are presenting financial performance and the strategic plan to the Board and shareholder, or rigorously challenging commercial deal margins with the sales team. We are looking for a professional level of delivery from an experienced, hands-on operator who thrives in ambiguity, moves seamlessly between detail and strategy, and applies strong commercial judgement to every financial decision. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Strategy & Commercial Planning Commercial Focus Daily Financial Operations & Control Financial Reporting & Control Monthly Reporting Against Budget Annual Budget & Monthly Reforecast Cash Flow Management, Treasury & Forecasting Partner to the CEO on People & Organisation Essential Experience Proven, hands-on CFO or senior finance leadership experience within a UK-based scale-up, with a track record of taking a business from early stage through to 50m+ in revenue. Direct experience reporting to and managing the relationship with a sole shareholder, founder-investor, or institutional investor in a growth-stage business environment. Demonstrable M&A experience, including hands-on involvement in deal origination, financial due diligence, valuation, deal structuring and negotiation across either buy-side or sell-side transactions. Track record of building and maintaining 12-week rolling cash forecasts with high accuracy and clear variance discipline. Commercial finance background with demonstrable experience influencing deal structures, partnership margins, and commercial decision-making. Hands-on operator who has personally owned the monthly close process and management accounts, not solely managed a team to deliver them. Experience of Board-level reporting, including presenting to non-executive directors, investors, or an advisory board. Strong Excel and financial modelling skills; experience with cloud-based accounting systems (Xero, NetSuite, or similar). Highly Desirable Experience working across the full startup-to-scale-up journey - ideally having joined a business at an early stage and scaled it through significant growth.
