HIRING MANAGER LETTER
It’s 2025. No-one should be lying awake worrying about mounting bills. No child should be starting their school day cold and hungry. But the fact is, it’s happening, and we want to end it. Turn2us is a charity tackling financial insecurity across the UK.

We are looking for a passionate and change-maker to be our new Social Change Manager, driving forward and coordinating this long-term and exciting programme. It will involve movement building and close collaboration with a range of external partners, including the many organisations in our sector who are trying to change the narrative around our social security system and our corporate partners such as Royal London.
We’re open-minded about your experience to date. Ideally you would have experience of narrative change and systemic thinking, but if you’re passionate about ending financial insecurity and have led successful collaborations, delivered social change or run brilliant campaigns then we would love to hear from you. We also know that a huge range of factors influence a person’s education pathway, so we have not listed any formal education requirements for this role.
The recruitment pack provides information about our work, structure and our strategic plans for the future. You will also find specific details for this role and information on how to apply.
