A little bit about you 

We’re looking for a senior leader who is passionate about improving outcomes for children and families, and who brings strong experience in strategic leadership, business development and stakeholder engagement.

You may come from a background in social work, education or a related field — or from a commercial or business development background where you’ve worked closely with public services or purpose-driven organisations. What matters most is your ability to navigate complex systems, build trusted relationships, and shape high-quality offers that respond to real need.

You’ll be a credible and confident communicator, with sound financial judgement and the ability to lead high-performing teams. A strong commitment to equity, inclusion and Frontline’s mission is essential.

We’re a fast-moving team, so we’re looking for someone who is organised, detail-focused, and able to use their initiative to make things happen. You’ll be someone who enjoys working collaboratively, building relationships across the organisation and externally, and is open to learning and adapting as the work evolves.

This is a role with real scope — both in terms of impact and how it’s shaped. There are significant opportunities for growth and for the right person to make the role their own.

If you’re excited by the opportunity to contribute to meaningful, lasting change for children and families, we’d love to hear from you.

Important information

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater global majority representation in our senior roles. We know the value global majority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities.

With so many people now using AI to apply for jobs, it is common for applications to be repetitive and nearly identical. There are tell-tale signs when AI has been used, the writing has the same structure, the same tone and the same language. Using AI to clarify your thoughts and sharpen your answers is one thing, but we strongly discourage you from using a tool to generate the substance of your answers. We want your application to demonstrate your skills, as well as show us your thought process, how you respond to problems, what you have learned from different experiences and how you communicate in your own voice. Please be reassured – we are not expecting perfection.

We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can!
