This is a new senior leadership role created through Inclusion North’s restructure. It is central to how we rebuild our strategic presence in Yorkshire and Humber while ensuring strong, joined-up working across the Northeast.

You will lead high-level engagement across both regions, with a particular focus on Yorkshire and Humber. In this region, you will help Inclusion North reconnect, build strategic partnerships, and become a visible and valued voice in system-level spaces.

You will take a lead in representing Inclusion North across a range of regional spaces, including Communities of Practice, local authority-led forums, and, where appropriate, ICB-related groups. This means helping shape change, influence commissioning, and ensure that the voices of people with a learning disability, autistic people, and family carers are heard where decisions are made. You will also be expected to challenge constructively when systems fall short of inclusion, equity, or lived experience leadership.

You will line manage the Innovation and Impact Manager and the Good Life Collaborative Programme Lead. This includes overseeing how our delivery connects to system priorities, responds to emerging opportunities, and contributes to our financial sustainability. You will also provide strategic insight to support planning, funding, and future direction.

This is a leadership role for someone who can build trust, speak with credibility, and stand firm in their values. You will need the insight to understand how systems work, and the confidence to push for change when they do not work for the people they are meant to serve.

The Cross-regional Strategic Lead holds senior responsibility for regional engagement, system influence, and delivery oversight at a strategic level.

The role is anchored in Yorkshire and Humber, where you will need to be well-connected and regularly present. You will also work across the Northeast as part of a joined-up, cross-regional team.

DO NOT send your CV. We will only consider applicants who have submitted an application form.

We are seeking an experienced and driven Programme Manager to lead the delivery and development of our nationally recognised wellbeing services for young people living with and beyond cancer.

As a fast-growing, mission-led charity, we provide tailored support across mental health, physical rehabilitation, nutrition, and wellbeing. Our work is informed by lived experience and driven by our mission that every young adult with cancer and their families/carers have the tools and support they need to live well and feel empowered.

This is a hands-on leadership role that spans both strategy and delivery. As Programme Manager, you’ll be just as comfortable setting direction alongside the CEO as you are managing day-to-day operations, responding to referrals, producing digital content, or coordinating events. You’ll take ownership of services that are already changing lives - and have real scope to shape and scale them as we grow.

If you’re a proactive and adaptable programme lead who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment - and you’re ready to roll up your sleeves to make a meaningful difference - we’d love to hear from you.

· Lead and evolve a suite of support services (Feel Well, Move Well, Eat Well, Live Well), ensuring delivery is safe, inclusive, and high quality

· Develop and manage systems to collect, analyse, evaluate, and present impact data to inform service improvement and reporting.

· Shape strategy and contribute to service innovation, growth, and long-term sustainability

· Build and maintain strong partnerships with wellbeing providers, community organisations, and external stakeholders

· Lead our digital presence – overseeing social media, website content, campaigns, and communications (either directly or by coordinating volunteers/students)

· Contribute to charity-wide operations, including policy, governance, safeguarding, and internal reporting in support of the CEO

· Support campaigns, events, fundraising activity, and cross-organisational projects that promote engagement and sustainability.

You will be a key player in helping us grow, scale our reach, and ensure every young person we support feels seen, safe, and supported.

What Success Looks Like

· High-impact services delivered consistently and safely

· Strong data-driven decisions that improve outcomes

· Powerful stakeholder relationships and seamless service pathways

· Growth in our online presence and campaign engagement

· Strategic projects launched that amplify our mission

· Clear contribution to financial sustainability and organisational development

What we’re looking for:

We’re seeking a confident and capable individual who brings a blend of leadership, creativity, operational focus, and a commitment to excellence.

Essential:

· Proven experience managing and delivering health & wellbeing or support programmes

· Strong leadership, organisational, and strategic planning skills

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills

· Experience in digital marketing, content creation, and social media

· Ability to collect, analyse and report data to drive improvements

· Sound knowledge of safeguarding, compliance, and charity operations

· A committed team player with a passion for making a difference

· Adaptable, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities and responding to emerging needs in a small, purpose-driven team.

Desirable:

· Experience supporting young people affected by cancer or within a health-related setting

· Knowledge of partnership development, fundraising, or campaign delivery

· Proficiency in using CRM systems, Excel, design platforms (e.g. Canva), CMS, and digital marketing tools

· Relevant qualifications in public health, youth work, social care, or related fields

· Ability to travel to Huddersfield and partner sites as required

Why Join Us?

· Be part of a fast-growing, values-driven organisation making a national impact

We’re recruiting a fundraiser and project development manager to build on our creative, award-winning work addressing climate change and fuel poverty in practical, tangible ways. 

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who shares our vision of a different energy future: one in which energy is generated renewably and used sustainably whilst leaving no one behind in the journey. We are looking for someone who understands the energy sector and the unique role that a community energy group can play in the energy transition. It is a role for someone who can imagine community solutions to energy sector issues and to translate these into fundable projects. 

Your role will be to work with our board of Directors and staff to come to an understanding of our mission and values and our strategic priorities and develop and resource projects that will enable us to meet those priorities filling gaps in provision. In a practical sense, you will work with stakeholders e.g. our staff, our members, local community groups, local authorities and clients to generate ideas for future projects. The direction of travel should be broadly determined by our recent strategic review.

You will work closely with our CEO and our Board of Directors to prioritise project ideas. You will develop partnerships, refine project ideas, identify sources of funding (Trusts and Grantmakers, Corporate Giving), draft bids and cost delivery on a full cost recovery basis, submit bids and if funding is awarded, mobilise the team to deliver the work. This role provides a big and exciting challenge for someone who knows the energy sector, understands the opportunity of community and grassroots solutions, who brings excellent written communication skills and is willing to learn how to fundraise.

Responsibilities:

Grant Fundraising Support:

• Work with the Selce community (the board, staff, volunteers and other stakeholders) to generate new project ideas that support our strategic mission 
• Research and identify potential grant-making trusts, foundations, and statutory bodies that will fund project proposals
• Prepare high-quality grant applications; this includes calculating budget requirements, formulating proposals, writing proposals
• Manage the grant administration process and maintain accurate records of funding opportunities and applications in the fundraising calendar.

Commissioned Work & Tendering Support:

• Assist in researching and identifying opportunities for commissioned work.
• Support the preparation of tender documents and proposals, including gathering necessary information, budgeting and formatting submissions.
• Provide administrative support for contract negotiation and agreement finalisation.

Community Share Capital

• Draft community share offer brochures and associated documentation
• Support the implementation of strategies to raise community share capital.
• Assist in planning and executing share offer campaigns, including preparing marketing materials and organising investor events.
• Help manage investor communications and data, ensuring compliance with cooperative principles and financial regulations.

Develop and Maintain Relationships

• Assist in building and nurturing relationships with funders, commissioners, and community investors through effective communication.
• Support the organisation’s representation at external events and networking opportunities.

Skills & Experience:

The ability to imagine and innovate and thereby build fundable project-based solutions working in partnership with stakeholders is more important that fundraising experience per se. This post would suit an Energy Policy graduate that has experience of either community energy or journalism (and therefore brings strong writing skills) or environmental projects

Essential:

• Knowledge of the Energy Sector: Understand the energy markets and the energy industry. Also bring a good understanding of community energy, fuel poverty, and energy efficiency
• Strong Writing Skills: Ability to write clear, concise, and compelling content for proposals, reports, and communications.
• Research & Analytical Skills: Capable of conducting thorough research 
• Excell Skills: Excellent Excel skills and the ability to calculate project budgets
• Organisational & Administrative Skills: Highly organised with excellent attention to detail, capable of managing multiple tasks and deadlines effectively.
• Communication and relationship management: Good interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal.
• IT Proficiency: Competent in using Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) 
• Passion for Mission: A genuine commitment to the values and mission of a charitable cooperative focused on energy transition and social impact.
Desirable:
• Fundraising Experience: Some demonstrable experience in fundraising activities, ideally within a charity or non-profit setting.
