About Us
Plant-Based Health Professionals UK is a non-profit CIC founded in 2018 and led by healthcare practitioners working at the intersection of science and compassion. We bring together evidence-based whole food, plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine to empower practitioners and communities to prevent, manage and reverse chronic disease while safeguarding planetary health.
Our work includes webinars, courses, advocacy and clinical resources, all grounded in the latest research and delivered in a supportive, inclusive style. We champion practical change across healthcare settings, from training medical students to shaping hospital food policy, whilst supporting the implementation of sustainable and preventative healthcare initiatives.
The Role
As Operations Manager, you’ll be the backbone of our small but passionate team, helping us stay organised, compliant and focused on our mission. You’ll lead on the smooth running of our internal operations, including HR, finance, systems and day-to-day logistics, creating the structures that allow our impact to grow.
It’s a role for someone who thrives on bringing clarity and care to their work. You’ll support our people and processes with a calm, practical approach, helping to shape a kind and efficient working culture where everyone can do their best.
What We’re Looking For
You’re someone who brings clarity, structure and heart to everything you do. With a background in operations, HR or administration, ideally in a non-profit or mission-led setting, you’re confident managing systems, coordinating projects and supporting the people around you. You’re comfortable with the detail, whether that’s budget tracking, compliance or helping things run smoothly behind the scenes, and you bring a thoughtful, solutions-focused mindset to your work.
You’ll thrive in this role if you’re highly organised, digitally confident and able to work independently in a remote team. Familiarity with platforms like Google Workspace, Trello, Slack and CRM systems will be a real advantage, as will an understanding of UK employment practices. Experience in a health, sustainability or education context would be helpful but isn’t essential. What matters most is your commitment to helping us grow in a grounded, sustainable way and your belief in the power of lifestyle medicine to transform lives.
What Excites You
You’re motivated by purpose and enjoy bringing calm and structure to a busy team. Whether it’s improving a system or supporting a colleague, you take pride in making things run smoothly.
You care about people and the planet, and you're excited by the role lifestyle medicine can play in creating lasting change. You enjoy working flexibly and independently, while being part of a values-led team doing meaningful work.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be supporting the day-to-day running of the organisation, helping us stay organised, compliant and focused on our mission. Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading and improving internal systems, processes and policies
- Supporting finance tasks such as budget tracking and invoicing
- Managing HR admin, contracts and onboarding processes
- Coordinating meetings, scheduling and team communications
- Supporting project planning and delivery across the organisation
- Ensuring we meet relevant compliance and reporting requirements
- Helping us create a supportive, inclusive and well-run working culture
What We Offer
Competitive salary: £40,000 - £45,000 per year (pro rata for part time)
Hybrid working: work from home and travel to London for our quarterly team meetings. We believe in flexibility, and we support our team in finding a balance that works for them.
Generous annual leave: 33 days off a year (including bank holidays), plus the break between Christmas and New Year on top of that.
Pension scheme: we contribute 3% of your salary to your pension, with a 5% employee contribution.
Professional development: We’re committed to your growth. You’ll have access to training opportunities.
