Introduction to the Sheila McKechnie Foundation

We are a small organisation with a growing profile and reputation as thinkers, innovators and capacity-builders in social change. We work to provoke new thinking, gather evidence, convene practitioners, sharpen strategy, and encourage greater collaboration. These are all ways we are working to orient civil society more strongly towards reform. 

Our vision is a more confident and powerful civil society where people work together to drive social change. We work right across civil society, from unpaid volunteer campaigners to big national and global organisations. We bring a wide view of social change that recognises its complexity, and that is combined with a deep commitment to social justice. 

Where we are in our journey

SMK is in an exciting place. A few years ago, we agreed an ambition to become known as experts in social change. Our Social Power report describes how social change is happening today, while It’s All About Power sets out why we need a new way of thinking about power to achieve deeper solidarity in driving that change. The tools in these reports are being used widely – by change-makers, funders and policy-makers – to challenge their thinking and develop new approaches. We want to help them go further.

We are unrelentingly curious, tracking and analysing the way that social change is shifting and sharing that knowledge so that it can be used across civil society. We look to people’s experiences as well as academic research, to contemporary commentators and historical examples. All the while, we stand up for campaigners, working to ensure they are able to shape their world without unreasonable constraint.

About the role

SMK’s envisages a confident and powerful civil society in which people work together to drive change. A core part of our work is to build the confidence and capacity of people and organisations - we do this through our training and consultancy programmes which operate as a social business, and through grant-funded capacity-building programmes.

Working closely with the Deputy Chief Executive (who has overall responsibility for income generation) and their team, this role will grow and effectively manage our training and consulting operation. You will also be responsible for overseeing and supporting the delivery of grant-funded programmes, including our grant funded 'power-informed capacity-building programme'.

SMK is one of the main providers of training to campaigners in the UK and has a popular and growing public training programme that you will lead, working closely with the Events and Programmes Manager who is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the training business.

Our training and consultancy is primarily delivered by a network of Associates, with SMK delivering more strategic consulting projects in-house, for example helping organisations reflect on their campaigning strategy. You will need to be able to understand clients' situations, and design projects and programmes to meet their needs. You will also need to put together appropriate teams to do client work and will be confident undertaking some projects yourself.

You will co-ordinate and develop our network of Associates, who are some of the UK’s leading change-makers, practitioners and commentators, and ensure that together we deliver high-quality training programmes and consultancy services.

You will also be involved in business development including representing and championing SMK, writing bids and responding to queries and tenders.

You will build and maintain strong partnerships and networks across the charity sector, and you’ll be comfortable working with audiences as diverse as grass roots community activists and senior campaign professionals. 

About you

There are a number of possible backgrounds that could be a fit for this role, and we are keeping an open mind. You could, for example, come from a consulting, training or programme management role, or have been involved in charity leadership, social enterprise or campaigning. Your experience could have been gained in a commercial or civil society environment, or both, because this role blends commercial disciplines with social purpose.

But whatever your background you will have the demonstrable ability to get to grips with the social change and campaigning sector if you’re not already in it. And above all you will need commercial nous, the ability to sell, the ability to manage programmes, and the confidence to influence and support clients. Ultimately, success for this role is about equipping civil society organisations, campaigners and activists to be more effective in making change happen. So, whatever your background you will need to show that you are ambitious about achieving this, and have the skills and aptitude to deliver.

Creative and dynamic, you will have the credibility to engage a room full of activists from a range of backgrounds and to build partnerships with prospective funders, commissioners and other stakeholders. Using your knowledge of change and strategy, you will develop creative and agile programmes and ensure they are continuously being improved in a fast-changing field. You will be intellectually curious and follow campaign trends supporting campaigners to thrive and win.

You will have a strong track record of collaborative working with stakeholders and will thrive in a small, busy and ambitious team, having the flexibility to handle a broad and changeable workload. You’ll be able to jump right in, will not be intimidated by the need to run a social business and deliver income, and will be able to work closely with the team at an exciting phase of our strategic development and organisational growth.

A hybrid work environment

We have shifted to a mix of office and homeworking, but our work hasn’t slowed down. Civil society organisations are already seeing that their role as change-makers is becoming even more critical.

Our staff team are currently based around London and the South East. We would welcome applications from other parts of the country, but our offices are in central London. You would need to travel to London for a minimum of 12 days per year for Team Days, Board Away Days and other essential meetings. We thrive on working closely together, so ideally you would be willing to meet team members at our offices for co-working more frequently, but we will be flexible for the right candidate.

Travel and accommodation for working at our London office is at job-holders own expense. Expenses incurred for SMK business outside London are covered.

Job description

As Head of Programmes, you will be responsible for overseeing our capacity-building support, ensuring SMK is delivering high-quality and market-leading campaign training and consultancy. You will be key in managing our stakeholder relationships, including our pool of Associates and funders.
