About Embrace the Middle East  

Our vision is rooted in, and inspired by, the Gospel, in particular Christ’s invitation to care for those most in need. Every person is created in the image and likeness of God and is deserving of the dignity bestowed on them by God. 

Supporting our partners to transform lives and restore the dignity of the most excluded and marginalised, our work contributes to a culture of human flourishing in a war-torn region. We help our partners to sustain the declining presence of Christians serving the needs of the vulnerable in Middle Eastern societies, without regard to faith or background. 

Ours is a vision of love in action: where there is a need – for refuge, a home however temporary, for health care, for education, for safeguarding, for economic empowerment, for justice and human rights – we, with and through our partners, want to respond.

We are looking for a person to lead our charity who is an experienced fundraiser and is passionate to see all young people build confidence and make positive choices in their relationships, health and education.

This is an exciting time to join TwentyTwenty as our hugely successful Love4Life (L4L) programme continues to grow and flourish.  You will be leading a small, dedicated team, committed to supporting young people both in schools and in the surrounding community. 

Love4Life is all about empowering young people aged 11-18 years to build confidence and make positive choices in their health and relationships.  We specialise in delivering targeted relationship and sex education (RSE) by supporting young people who are facing difficulties in these areas, including sexual health, staying safe and the potential risk of sexual exploitation. All of our work embeds building positive self-esteem, body image and the handling of emotions in order to help a young person become more resilient. We believe that once young people feel good about themselves, they are more likely to make healthy and positive choices for their lives.

Responsible for an initial budget of £320,000 and around a dozen staff this person will define and lead the organization’s strategy development and programme delivery to grow the impact of L4L in the lives of hundreds of young girls, and in the near future, boys.  In particular they will develop and implement a 3-year business plan and fundraising strategy: fundraising is likely to occupy up to 50% of the role at times.
