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 want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you.

Kids Matter is one of the UK’s fastest growing children’s charities. Our vision is to see every child in need raised in a strong family. Our mission is to reduce the impact of poverty on children through community-based parenting programmes.

They come alongside parents and carers, building long-lasting community in addition to encouraging confidence and learning positive parenting skills.

We value difference and diversity, and we want our workplace to be built on shared values of equality and mutual trust, with team members representing the wide range of backgrounds and experiences that exist within the UK. We therefore actively encourage applications from people of diverse backgrounds and varied experiences, particularly those who are African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian or part of other minority ethnic communities, who have lived experience of the impact of low-income/low-support circumstances, and who are living with a disability or identify as being neurodivergent.

What if your next archive didn't just preserve history—but helped shape the future?

At Union Chapel, our extraordinary archive sits at the heart of a place where heritage, music, faith and social justice come together. From 200 years of Nonconformist history to iconic gig posters and stories of local people striving for a better world, our collections tell the story of a community that continues to inspire change.

We're looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Archivist to lead the next chapter of this remarkable collection. Based in our purpose-built archive store and Reading Room, you'll care for and develop the archive, support volunteers, welcome researchers and visitors, create engaging exhibitions and interpretation, and build partnerships that ensure the collection continues to thrive.

This is an opportunity to combine professional archive practice with public engagement, creativity and community impact in one of London's most distinctive cultural organisations.

If you're a qualified archivist with experience in collections management, digital preservation and volunteer engagement—and you're passionate about making heritage accessible to everyone—we'd love to hear from you and discover how you could help bring Union Chapel's stories to life.

We’re Together Active, a charity working across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to make it easier for people to be active in ways that fit their lives.

We focus on the systems that shape who gets included and who doesn’t. That means looking beyond individual behaviours to understand how policy, funding, culture and place influence people’s choices, freedoms and access to movement.

Safeguarding is fundamental to that work. It isn't just about policies or responding when something goes wrong. It's about creating a culture where people's welfare is everyone's responsibility, where concerns are acted upon with care and confidence, and where trust underpins everything we do.

We're looking for someone who shares those values. Someone who combines sound judgement with empathy, who is confident supporting colleagues and partners through complex situations, and who sees safeguarding not as a separate function, but as an essential part of creating positive experiences for everyone who engages with our work.

If you feel excited by the opportunity to help shape a culture where people feel safe, supported and able to thrive, we'd be delighted to receive your application.
