With hundreds of member groups and organisations across Britain delivering life-changing, place-enhancing work, you will have a solid foundation to build on, to take community rail forward and expand our impact in the years ahead.

Other information
The role will involve extensive travel within Britain as part of building your profile and that of the organisation with central and devolved government in Scotland and Wales, and increasingly with the devolved regions of England.
There is flexibility on location given the requirement to travel and that your office will be home-based. You will need to travel to in-person quarterly team meetings (usually in London or West Yorkshire) and to Board meetings which alternate between online and London. It is expected that travel will be by public transport and easy access to the rail network is therefore required to ensure journeys can be made sustainably.
This is a full-time position, 37 hours per week. We use a flexi-time system with core hours 10am-3pm, and are committed to being a flexible, supportive and understanding employer. This is a permanent position with a probationary period of six months.

The role:
We’re looking for a senior leader to make co-production the way we work — not a project, not a principle, but embedded practice across the organisation.
This is a high-impact role shaping how lived experience drives strategy, design, delivery, and decision-making. You’ll lead a specialist team, but your influence will stretch internally and externally.
You’ll be responsible for turning ambition into action — building a clear roadmap, strengthening capability, and ensuring co-production is consistent, credible, and genuinely embedded into our work.
You’ll lead the development and delivery of new co-production products and partnerships, generating income and strengthening our position as a sector leader in co-production practice.
What we are looking for:
Example as below
• Embedding co-production across the organisation so it becomes business-as-usual.
• Developing and delivering co-production products internally and externally and generating new income streams.
• Leading a bold roadmap for culture change and continuous improvement
• Influencing partners across social care and beyond.
• Strengthening governance, accountability, and consistency of practice
If you can help shift co-production from aspiration to reality — we want to hear from you.
What we offer in return:
We offer excellent staff benefits including a competitive salary and homeworking allowance. We provide an employer pension contribution above the statutory minimum, an award-winning employee assistance programme, and an attractive holiday package which rises with length of service. Benefits of working for SCIE can be found here Work for the Social Care Institute for Excellence - SCIE
