• Produce policy briefings and consultation responses for parliamentarians and civil servants, often in collaboration with allies.

• Monitor parliamentary business in Westminster, analysing legislation and proposing amendments grounded in evidence and framed for maximum impact.

• Integrate survivor insight and lived experience into policy and advocacy materials wherever appropriate.

• Track engagement outcomes and evaluate the impact of CEASE’s policy work, sharing learning internally.

C. Public Affairs

Goal: To ensure CEASE’s policy recommendations are seen, heard and acted upon.

• Create opportunities to promote CEASE’s policy solutions in Westminster through roundtables, drop-ins and parliamentary events.

• Engage directly with decision-makers, building trusted relationships across parties and with key officials.

• Identify and support parliamentarians who can champion CEASE’s issues through speeches, strategic questions, debate briefings and Private Members’ Bills.

• Build and maintain relationships with MPs, Peers, civil servants and officials in relevant government departments (Home Office, DCMS, DfE, etc.); participate in select committees and APPGs.

• Monitor the political landscape to identify alignment between CEASE’s goals and current government priorities, debates and legislative timetables.

• Collaborate with colleagues to nurture relationships with key stakeholders such as charities, public bodies, academic institutions, industry figures and experts.

• Lead or contribute to policy-focused coalitions and alliances aimed at influencing government and legislative reform.

E. Fundraising

• Identify potential donors and funding opportunities through policy networks.

• Contribute to the development of compelling funding cases linked to CEASE’s policy impact and advocacy outcomes.

• Represent CEASE externally to promote its work and values.

Northampton Hope Centre is at a pivotal moment in its journey. With a strong financial position, ambitious plans for the future – including the potential to move into a new home – and a superb, committed team, we are seeking an inspiring leader to guide the charity into its next chapter.

The Hope Centre is a leading charity tackling poverty, hunger and homelessness in Northamptonshire. Through our vital services, campaigning, and social enterprise activity, we support some of the most vulnerable in our community and strive to create lasting change.

We are now looking for a Chief Executive Officer who will:
- Provide strategic leadership and work with our Board of Trustees to shape and deliver the charity’s future direction.
- Build on our strong reputation to strengthen partnerships and raise our profile locally and nationally.
- Drive growth in both our services and our social enterprise arm, ensuring long-term sustainability.
- Inspire and lead a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who share a passion for making a difference.

The successful candidate will bring proven senior leadership experience within the charity, public, or social enterprise sectors. You will combine strategic vision with strong financial and operational acumen, and have a track record of generating income, building partnerships, and motivating teams. Most importantly, you will be committed to our mission of tackling homelessness, hardship, and inequality.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a respected and values-driven charity at a time of growth and innovation.

Closing Date: Friday 31st October 2025
Interviews: Thursday 13th November 2025

We are people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights.

This is a pivotal moment for human rights and for Amnesty International UK. Around the world, authoritarianism is rising, press freedom is shrinking, surveillance is expanding, and inequality is deepening. In the UK, regressive protest laws, the Illegal Migration Act, systemic racism and hostile welfare systems show how urgently rights must be defended. At the same time, funding pressures across the non-profit sector make this fight more challenging, and more vital, than ever.

This is an extraordinary role, demanding both courage and vision. We are seeking a CEO who can be a steadying force and a strategic fundraiser, able to lead with cultural competence and integrity.

You will bring the breadth and depth of leadership experience needed to step confidently into a complex environment and, from the very start, unite members, activists, boards, staff and the wider global movement. You will be a visionary strategist who looks beyond short-term challenges and helps shape Amnesty’s future over the next decade, ensuring the organisation remains bold, relevant and sustainable, balancing movement-building with financial stewardship.

As a people-centred leader, you will bring emotional intelligence, resilience and the ability to inspire confidence, nurture a high-performing team, creating a culture of psychological safety and bringing people together in a polarised world. You will be a powerful communicator and ambassador, comfortable holding external space, building alliances, and telling Amnesty’s story with clarity and conviction.

Your financial acumen will allow you to navigate our dual structure, steward resources responsibly, and find innovative ways to grow income. Above all, you will lead as an, inspiring and collaborative change-maker: someone who listens deeply, respects diverse voices and leads democratically, while still taking clear, pragmatic decisions.

The Finance and Operations Officer is responsible for maintaining an efficient and streamlined service across the organisation to support and develop the charity’s finance administration, operations, governance and HR functions. It is ideal for someone who thrives on making sure everything behind the scenes works seamlessly to enable impactful frontline work.

You’ll support core functions helping ensure our systems are strong and efficient. Alongside this, you’ll contribute to our wider mission of supporting 250,000 young Londoners access healthy food, positive opportunities, and pathways into meaningful careers. You’ll help us live our values as a charity that’s authentically youth-led, nurturing talent and championing equity and inclusion in everything we do.

This is a varied and hands-on role, perfect for someone who’s proactive, organised and enjoys making things work better. You’ll use tools like Xero, Salesforce and Microsoft 365 to streamline processes, analyse data, and find smarter ways of working. You’ll manage communications with staff, suppliers and partners, provide diary support to the CEO, and help ensure compliance and good governance across the charity.

We are excited to be recruiting a Grants and Funds Engagement Manager to join our small but ambitious team. Reporting to the Head of Charity, you’ll play a key role in delivering our bold three-year strategy, driving meaningful impact for patients, their families and staff by managing our evolving grants programme.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing charity at a crucial stage in its development. As part of our team, you’ll help shape how we fund projects, communicate their impact, and uncover unmet needs that will inform future fundraising appeals and strategic priorities.

We’re looking for someone who is flexible, proactive, and ready to get involved in a variety of tasks. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and can confidently juggle multiple priorities, we would love to hear from you.

You will oversee our Special Purpose Fund (SPF) portfolio, working closely with staff teams to help shape and deliver high-impact projects, ensuring funds are used effectively and in line with organisational priorities and guidance.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and hands-on delivery. You will lead on strengthening our grants processes and systems, and work collaboratively with colleagues across Charity Finance, Fund Advisors, Divisional Directors, and the wider team to ensure funds make a real difference where they are needed most.

A key part of this role involves working in partnership with St George’s Hospital Charity on joint funding opportunities and shared initiatives across our hospital group.

This role will deputise for the Head of Charity when required and represent the Charity across all areas, not limited to Grants. You will be ready to step up and take on broader responsibilities as needed.
