The Head of England & Westminster is based in our UK Impact (UKI) department. The department is responsible for driving the delivery of the UK Impact goal in our strategy. Our vision is to make sure families in the UK have the money, services, and power to end child poverty. It's our mission to help build communities of people who care about children, listen to what's important to them and work together to make things better.

- Significant experience of leading and line managing a high-performing, multi-disciplinary team including supervising, motivating and developing direct reports
- Ability to think and plan strategically, with evidence of securing significant practice and policy changes through the successful design and execution of integrated change strategies covering research, advocacy, policy and practice
- Ability to share and apply learning in order to continuously improve effectiveness, working within a collective impact framework
- Experience of holding a wide range of senior external contacts – including civil servants, senior ministers, parliamentarians, national decision-makers, media, funders - and evidence of influencing for impact
- Significant knowledge and understanding of the political, policy and practice sectors, frameworks and trends in England.
- Significant knowledge of equalities, diversity and inclusion, and how to apply this in order to maximise our external impact and strengthen our internal culture
- Understanding of the causes of child poverty and broad knowledge of the evidence about effective approaches to reducing and ending it

This is the reason why we are all here.
