About Black Thrive
We exist to change the odds stacked against Black people by embedding race equity into systemic change so that thriving is not the exception but the norm.
Black Thrive Global evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016 to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people in Lambeth. Black people’s cumulative exposure to negative experiences and poor outcomes are not unique to Lambeth and Black Thrive Global was founded in 2020 to address the detrimental outcomes for Black people of African and Caribbean descent wherever they may be located.
Job summary
Black Thrive Lambeth has developed a new co-designed culturally appropriate peer support advocacy service (CAPSA) on behalf of the Living Well Network Alliance (LWNA). The aim is to provide support to members of the Black community who have mental health needs through peer support and advocacy. The service will be led by people using their own lived experiences of mental health issues to help each other, providing a space where individuals feel respected, accepted and understood. They will understand that everyone’s experience will be unique but will treat everyone’s experience as being equally important. The service is focused on striving for recovery, acknowledging the inherent challenges of racism for Black communities within traditional mental health services and providing support that enable people to live full lives. The organisation is specifically recruiting black male and female applicants, in keeping with the positive action provision within the Equality Act 2010 in order to meet client need and employee safety. These posts are therefore restricted to Black applicants under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9 and Part 1.
CAPSA values
The CAPSA values are based on the following principles of engaging and empowering black communities to embrace and acknowledge their potential:
- Humanity - Embracing diversity and the importance of all our communities – ensuring an anti-racist and anti-oppressive approach.
- Empathy – Providing a safe and trusting environment, welcoming lived experience and being non-judgmental.
- Healing – Acknowledging the hurts of the past and embracing a positive future. • Respect – Listening to individuals - taking an approach that builds on strengths, is empowering and recovery focused.
- Togetherness – Developing mutual two-way relationships, that redresses the power imbalance, resisting a them and us approach.
Purpose of the role
The post-holder will lead a team of peer support workers (PSWs) and advocates working with adults across the NHS and the local community in Lambeth. As a Service Manager you will play a key role in the development and delivery of peer support and advocacy services. This role has been specifically designed for Black people who have personal, lived experience of mental health challenges. You will be required to provide line management support, be the point of contact for our stakeholders and ensure high quality delivery of services.
This work will include working closely with community and NHS organisations to:
- Develop new aspects of the CAPSA service.
- To work with the Programme and Partnerships Manager to sustain the service in the longer term
- Ensure co-production with service users, staff and partners in all aspects of ongoing development.
- Manage the ongoing operational functions of the service.
- Directly line manage staff, including a team of peer support workers and advocates, as well as shared management of an administrator.
- Ensure robust monitoring of all aspects of the service and team performance.

The Opportunity
The EY Foundation is a charity and a company, limited by guarantee, established in 2014. We were founded by EY, the professional services firm, which continues to provide funding and donations to the charity under a multi-annual funding agreement. We are governed by a board of trustees, who are supported by a number of committees and leadership and management teams.
The EY Foundation helps young people, disadvantaged in the labour market, to fulfil their work potential. We are unique in our position as the link between employers and young people, having strong relationships with both.
Our work involves designing, developing and running our own services: Smart Futures, Our Future and Accelerate, as well as raising independent funds to support new initiatives and reach more young people across the UK. We work with organisations from across all sectors, including commercial, not-for-profit, education and government.
As an independent charity we have to diversify and raise our own income through traditional fundraising, grants and, increasingly, through the development of our work with corporate partners.
EY Foundation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will need to undertake an Enhanced DBS check via the Disclosure and Barring service, where appropriate.
Within the Foundation we adopt flexible roles that reflect the dynamic nature of our charity and enable our people to learn, develop and grow their skills and open up career opportunities. This is part of our investment in you.
This role profile provides an outline of what will be involved in your role rather than an exhaustive list of duties. Both you and this role will naturally evolve.
In your role you will be expected to demonstrate or develop leadership competences based on the Foundation’s four key values. They are:
- Growth mindset – increase our impact on more young people through dedication, innovation and hard work
- Empower people – everyone is given the opportunity to develop and to succeed
- Courage – use new learning and diversity of thought to challenge the status quo, embracing lessons learned even if a project misses its targets
- Collaboration – build relationships – internally and externally – to share ideas, embed an inclusive approach, and achieve bigger outcomes.
The scale of the challenge to tackle racial inequality is huge but we are passionate in our determination to secure change – both for our organisation and the young people we serve.
With over 80% of the young people we work with from Black, Asian or ethnic minority communities, our team and Board need to reflect the young people we support.
In 2019, we made diversity and inclusion a strategic priority, with a focus on race and in 2020 we published eleven race commitments. . This included 50% of our team and leadership team coming from the Black, Asian or ethnic minority communities by 2025. Specifically, it is our objective that 30% of our team and leadership team will come from the Black community. You can find out more here.
Key Responsibilities
Whatever your specific responsibilities and specialisms, your role in management means you will be working strategically in your area of specialism and cognisant of the impact of your work on other teams. You will be leading your team and function, making decisions on delivery of outcomes, planning resource needs and negotiating. You will work under your own autonomy, require little supervision, and will be a proactive supporter in achieving the wider organisational objectives.
This is a new role and will lead on a new strand of work within the Foundation. It reports directly to the Director of Communication. You will have two key responsibilities. Firstly, build relationships within local and national government with politicians and officials in the employment and skills training space. This will also extend to employers and other organisations in this space. Critical to success will be a deep understanding of the policy landscape and how the EY Foundation can build its reputation and influence with key decision-makers. You will have responsibility for end-to-end policy campaign development and delivery, from objective setting and measuring impact through to timely production of all elements as part of an agreed plan to deliver the charity’s priorities to measurable effect. This will include commissioning original research and management of a £100k+ budget.
The second aspect of the role will be to build multi-agency partnerships within different regions of the UK and oversee delivery of pilot delivery projects designed to uncover new ways to support young people in poverty to prepare for work. These projects will be designed to generate insight that can be used to shape the decisions of local government and employers, with a longer-term plan to engage at national government level. You will lead collaborations with other organisations, managing complex stakeholder relationships, to deliver projects in different regions of the UK. The EY Foundation currently has ‘hubs’ in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow.
What you will bring to the Foundation is your demonstrable experience and knowledge in the following areas:
- A proven track record in developing and delivering public affairs strategies is essential, along with a deep understanding of the UK political landscape and policy development process – at a national and regional level
- Understanding of employment, social mobility, education sectors, with networks across business, non-profit sector and government.
- Delivering strategic and operational plans. This includes project manging regional focused pilot programmes designed to generate new insight.
- Accountability for performance against agreed financial targets
- Making business critical decisions that have had a positive impact
- Delivering targeted outcomes
- Delivering excellent customer service, to internal or external customers or service users
- Working in a delivery-focused organisation
- Qualitative improvement across one or more service or delivery areas
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
- Influencing senior stakeholders through establishment of effective relationships,
- Strong and evidenced commitment to diversity
- Strong commitment to improve the working lives and prospects of disadvantaged young people in the UK
You will be able to demonstrate some of the competences expected of an EY Foundation Manager. Where you need more time to fully develop those competences, we will support you in so doing.

As a charity with social mobility as its core objective, IntoUniversity is wholly committed to equality of opportunity. We work with children and young people from a diverse range of backgrounds, and we believe that our staff team should be similarly diverse and representative.

We are committed to building a culture where students, staff and volunteers are valued for the unique people they are.
