This is an exciting opportunity to shape a new senior role within our organisation. The Interim Head of Research and Campaigns will lead our Research function and advocacy efforts, ensuring that evidence-based insights drive our campaigns, policy work, and public engagement.

Recently kicking off our new ‘Creating Positive Change Together’ strategy, coproduced by over 130 staff, volunteers, clients and partners, Groundswell has ambitious plans around influencing more change and amplifying voices to promote healthier lives and a better future for anyone who has experienced homelessness. This role directly aligns with these strategic plans, to refine and use innovative participatory research centring lived experience, share and amplify insight from people with experience of homelessness, and increase our campaigning activities to change systems and break down the barriers that stand in people’s way to a healthier life and more hopeful future.

This role has been created on an interim basis to assess its impact and effectiveness, with a key focus on reviewing the priorities, progression and support of our Research Team and making recommendations for the future regarding this new role. The role will sit within the wider Participation, Progression and Creating Change team. 

We anticipate that some form of Head of Research & Campaigning role will continue beyond this 12-month period, and this interim position will very much shape and inform that longer term role. 

In this exciting new position, you will play a leadership role across the organisation, internally and externally, leading on our operations, championing the organisation’s strategy and building strong relationships.

Do you want to be part of making a difference to, and supporting, the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector across Hampshire?

Joining a motivated and friendly team, you will play a leading role in helping Action Hampshire continue to grow sustainably and fulfil its vision and purpose.

The VCSE sector is vital to strong, connected, thriving communities. At Action Hampshire we're working to see communities and the VCSE sector empowered to lead community-based action that results in equitable, thriving communities. Our approach, The Action Hampshire Way, is to resource and support VCSE organisations to work with their communities in the way they know best on a range of topics - community research, smoking cessation, cancer prevention, climate action, rural housing, social enterprise, village halls and a whole lot more. This bridge to communities, and community-led action reduces inequity and puts communities at the heart of the change they want to see.

We've been through a time of change internally to make us more sustainable, efficient and agile - including moving to a teams based approach and making better use of digital tools. In the final year of our 3 year strategy, we're looking to the future. Could you be a key part of the Senior Leadership Team and help us shape Action Hampshire for the next part of the journey?

Your role will be to lead on operations at Action Hampshire. This will include supporting our finance team and working with our external finance company. You will contribute to our progress against our strategy. Effective operations and financial management are key to our sustainability and a key part of our strategy, so you will oversee development work to keep improving the organisation’s performance in these areas.

You will play a leadership role across the organisation, internally and externally, championing the organisation’s strategy and building strong relationships.

You will work with the rest of the team to keep developing Action Hampshire’s positive, inclusive, and collaborative working environment. You will help shape the organisation so it can be agile and responsive and keep fulfilling our mission and purpose in the most effective and sustainable way.

You’ll have oversight of teams with an internal focus. As you facilitate and support team members to play their part, you will gather insight and use this and your knowledge of charity operations to inform and make recommendations to the Senior Leadership Team.

We are committed to building an inclusive and diverse workforce. We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds who feel they are suitably qualified for the position.

Join a dynamic, growing charity that inspires children in disadvantaged communities to grow, cook, and enjoy healthy food. We’re seeking an experienced Programme Manager and child-led educator to lead our national Food Discovery team, ensuring high-quality delivery, strategic growth, and strong advocacy for food education.

You’ll manage a dispersed team, oversee recruitment, training, budgeting, and evaluation, and build partnerships with schools, funders, and sector networks. The role demands excellent leadership, communication, and organisational skills, with the ability to travel nationally.

Requirements:

• Proven leadership and programme management experience, ideally in education, community engagement, or food education.
• Strong understanding of safeguarding, health & safety, and working with primary school-aged children.
• Skilled communicator, relationship-builder, and advocate.
• Commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

About The Country Trust

The Country Trust believes every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet. We are the UK’s leading educational charity on a mission to connect children with the land that sustains us all.

When we don’t understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, or have the chance to spend time outdoors, there’s a significant knock-on effect for our health and the environment. Through nearly 50 years of programme delivery, we know children facing disadvantage often have the most to gain from this connection but are least able to access it.

Through food, farming and countryside experiences, our mission is to empower children to be confident, curious, and create change in their lives and the world around them — so that they and society thrive.

We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a DBS check at the relevant level.
