You’ll work closely with our campaigns team and a social media manager to adapt and enhance campaigns through media, partnerships and content. This role works across multiple channels. You don’t need to be a tactical expert in all of them, but you need to be a strong strategic thinker who can carefully consider the role of each channel and asset.

What you’ll do:

• The WeMove Europe team works in a culture of togetherness and passion for our issues and determination to win, so from time to time, you will be expected to perform activities outside of your normal role.

Who we’re looking for:

Essential skills:

• Storytelling: You can translate complex policy or campaign issues into compelling stories for different audiences, and generate creative news angles from unlikely material or challenging subject matter. You can write inspiring, clear, and impactful copy in English.

• Delivery: You have experience in at least one of the following areas:

  • Media relations: Securing proactive and impactful media coverage which influenced policy or moved the needle - in other words, which has had an impact beyond raising profile or raising awareness. 

  • Influencer partnerships: Building relationships and impactful collaborations with influencers, content creators or other content partners. 

  • Content creation: Producing social media content which mobilised people to take action. 

• Audiences: You have experience of engaging new audiences through communications channels, and you are able to use audience insights to influence your approach.

• Analysis: You are data-driven and results-oriented, eager to test, learn, and continuously improve your content and communications. 

• Collaboration: You thrive in collaborative, international teams, eager to learn from colleagues and share your own expertise.

• Coaching and training: You can design and deliver practical training that changes how colleagues work, not just how much they know, and you enjoy building capability in others rather than holding it yourself.

• Have recent experience of using video to tell complex stories and reach new audiences.

• You don’t have to have line management experience, but it could be beneficial. 

• Knowledge of the Brussels press landscape alongside national media

• Other European languages are an added benefit.

Why us?

Head of Housing Development

Location: London/Hybrid

Salary: £80,000.00 per annum

Weekly Hours: 35

Reference: YMC1237090

About YMCA

Founded in England in 1844, YMCA today is a global Movement and the world's largest youth-focused charity, reaching more than 58 million people across 119 countries. In England & Wales, we are a federation of 80 local YMCAs, based in over 700 communities across 168 local authorities, supporting young people and communities to reach their potential. We are also the largest provider of supported accommodation in the country — a role that puts housing at the heart of our mission.

YMCA England & Wales is a £23 million organisation of more than 400 colleagues, supporting the wider Federation. Combined, the Movement's turnover across England & Wales reached £386 million in 2025–26. As we grow our income and impact, housing is one of our clearest opportunities for scale: through our 10,000 Homes ambition, we are building a national platform that will let local YMCAs deliver affordable and supported housing faster, at lower risk, and with a unified voice. As we take this ambition forward, we are seeking an established and inspirational Head of Housing Development to lead one of the most pivotal roles in our organisation.

About The Opportunity

This is a brand-new role. Our Head of Housing Development will establish and lead our national Housing Centre of Expertise: the capacity- and capability-building engine behind our 10,000 Homes ambition. This is not a scheme-delivery role — local YMCAs build, own and operate their own homes. Instead, you will mobilise the talent and resources of the Federation around a shared platform for scale: guiding local YMCAs from feasibility through to investment-readiness, brokering the partnerships and expertise no single YMCA could assemble alone, and leading a single national conversation with strategic partners including Homes England, the Greater London Authority and Welsh Government. You will establish a panel of preferred development partners, support funding bids, and help YMCAs learn from one another rather than rebuilding expertise scheme by scheme. Success will be measured by the pipeline and capability you build across the movement, not by any single project.

About You

You bring real knowledge of social and affordable housing development, including structuring significant financing models, grant regimes and the regulatory landscape, alongside hands-on experience of property development projects and securing private and public-sector funding. You know how to build strategic partnerships, convene and influence people you do not manage, and translate strategy into coordinated action across independent partners. Experience mobilising change across a federated, membership or infrastructure organisation would be a strong advantage, combined with an in-depth knowledge of  Homes England, Greater London Authority and Welsh Government or similar agencies. Above all, you are a natural relationship-builder who can represent YMCA with confidence at a senior, national level, while helping local YMCAs move further and faster together than they could alone.

Lead the financial future of St Luke's Hospice, helping ensure exceptional palliative care services continue to support local families when they need them most.

Location: Hybrid/Kenton NW London (3 days per week in office)

Applications close: 9 a.m. Wednesday 14th October 2026

About St Luke’s Hospice

St Luke’s provides free specialist care to around 2,000 patients annually and incurs care costs of approximately £11 million each year. It is a well-established independent charity dedicated to providing specialist palliative and end-of-life care to people living in Harrow and Brent.

All services are provided free of charge, made possible through NHS funding, retail operations, fundraising activities, volunteers and the generosity of the local community. For decades, St Luke’s has been making every moment matter for patients and their loved ones throughout some of life’s most challenging circumstances.

Its vision is a world where everyone with an incurable illness can access the care they need to live well, where families and carers receive support and where individuals can die with dignity in the place of their choice — and this is your opportunity to support their vital work.

About the role

Reporting to the Director of Finance & Commercial, you will play a pivotal role in strengthening the hospice’s financial operations and supporting its long-term sustainability. This is a hands-on leadership role combining technical excellence, strategic business partnering and organisational change delivery.

A particular focus of the role will be modernising finance processes and leading the implementation of a new financial accounting system, helping to improve reporting, efficiency and financial insight across the organisation.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking an ambitious, CCAB-qualified or qualified by experience finance professional with strong technical expertise and a collaborative and compassionate leadership style.

You will be equally comfortable operating strategically and managing operational detail, bringing the credibility and confidence required to influence stakeholders at all levels. Experience gained within the charity, healthcare, public sector or broader not-for-profit environment would be valuable, although charity reporting experience is essential along with an understanding of mission-led organisations.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have led finance transformation projects, including the implementation of financial reporting systems.

Most importantly, you will share St Luke’s values, possess excellent communication skills, and be able to translate complex financial information into clear, practical insight.

If you’re motivated to be a trusted adviser, influential leader and key contributor to the continued success and sustainability of a highly respected hospice, we welcome your application.

Please click on the link to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you can find full details of the role and how to apply.

Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Wednesday 14th October 2026.
