About HOST 

HOST is a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to unlocking the power of people and communities to drive meaningful change. We believe that real transformation happens from the ground up — and that grassroots activists and movements are key to tackling today’s most urgent environmental and social challenges. 

And we know that our partners face barriers. That they don’t always have access to the right resources, networks, or operational solutions. That’s where we come in. HOST provides the infrastructure, strategic development expertise, and tailored support they need to thrive. 

We exist to make their lives easier, taking care of essential back-office responsibilities — financial, legal, and administrative — so they can get on with the difficult challenges. And we offer strategic guidance to help them build momentum, strengthen their impact, and sustain their work for the long term. 

In the face of an ever-changing world of systemic challenges, we strive to create meaningful connections and support shared progress — so our work is rooted in collaboration, inclusivity, and trust. Together, we enable the people and projects driving change to navigate complexities, overcome barriers, and make a lasting impact for a more just and equitable future. 

Since 2020, we’ve supported over 350 changemakers in more than 90 countries. Because we believe in doing the right thing, acting with urgency, and working alongside change-makers to create a better world. 

About the Role

As Community Support Lead: Development & Onboarding, you will lead the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of the Hosted Partner (HP) journey — from first contact to successful onboarding and integration into HOST’s global community. 

You’ll ensure that new partners are welcomed with clarity, confidence, and care, and that HOST’s systems, materials, and communications evolve to meet their changing needs. Working closely with the Partnerships and Delivery teams, you’ll turn insights from partners into practical improvements, ensuring that every process reflects HOST’s empowering, expert, and empathetic values. 

This is a role for someone who loves creating systems that work for people — combining process design, service delivery, and human connection to help change-makers get started and grow. 

Core Responsibilities

1. Hosted Partner Onboarding and Development 

• Lead the full onboarding process for new Hosted Partners (HPs), ensuring smooth, compliant, and welcoming transitions into HOST’s systems. 

• Conduct Welcome, Onboarding, and Set-up calls with HPs to explain key services, tools, and responsibilities. 

• Ensure all onboarding documentation, contracts, and systems are completed accurately. 

• Collaborate with the Finance and Legal teams to ensure hosted partners meet compliance requirements before activation. 

• Track onboarding milestones and ensure timely transitions from application to full hosting. 

2. Hosted Partner Journey Development 

• Lead the design, development, and improvement of the Hosted Partner Journey materials and forms — from initial enquiry through onboarding, active hosting, and renewal. 

• Map and refine partner touchpoints, ensuring clarity, consistency, and accessibility across services. 

• Work with the Communications Team to ensure all HP-facing materials and guides reflect HOST’s tone and values. 

• Collaborate with the Product Manager (HOSTHub Lead) to digitise, automate, and improve onboarding workflows. 

3. Partner Communication and Engagement 

• Maintain consistent, high-quality communication with partners throughout the onboarding and early development process. 

• Ensure partners have access to the right guidance, templates, and training resources. 

• Gather feedback from new HPs to identify trends, challenges, and opportunities for service improvement. 

• Contribute to the Project Hosting Bulletin and updates for new HPs. 

4. Documentation, SOPs, and Training 

• Develop and maintain clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for onboarding and HP journey management. 

• Support internal training for Community Support Leads and relevant teams on new onboarding tools, systems, and processes. 

• Contribute to knowledge-sharing sessions and capacity building within the Partnerships Circle. 

5. Risk Identification and Escalation 

• Conduct initial screening and due diligence checks for new Hosted Partners, identifying potential operational, reputational, or compliance risks. 

• Escalate risk concerns to the Community Support Manager or relevant leads for review and mitigation 

• Maintain accurate documentation of risk assessments and onboarding decisions. 

6. Collaboration and Service Improvement 

• Work with the Training Lead to integrate onboarding insights into HealthChecks and workshops for new HPs. 

• Collaborate with the Finance, Legal, and Tech teams to align onboarding workflows and systems. 

• Support cross-team projects to improve the efficiency and consistency of the Hosted Partner experience. 

7. Growth and Learning Areas (Development Focus) 

• Develop leadership in onboarding design and service improvement. 

• Contribute to testing and adoption of HOSTHub features that enhance the HP journey. 

• Support the Partnerships Circle in developing standardised partner support materials. 

Required Experience 

• 3 years experience in customer services, account management or partner management — ideally within a not-for-profit, social enterprise, or global NGO environment. 

• Proven experience designing and delivering onboarding, training, or service delivery processes for clients or partners. 

• Strong background in relationship management, with the ability to build trust and communicate clearly with partners from diverse cultural and professional contexts. 

• 2+ years’ experience using and maintaining digital systems (project management and CRM platforms such as ClickUp and Zendesk) to manage workflows or client data. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly and empathetically. 

• Demonstrated ability to improve or document processes — developing SOPs, templates, or resources that strengthen service quality and consistency. 

• Experience coordinating across teams (Finance, Legal, Tech, or Communications) to deliver high-quality partner or client experiences. 

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple onboarding cycles simultaneously. 

• Experience handling compliance checks, screening, or due diligence processes is highly desirable. 

• Comfortable working in a remote-first, international team, with strong self-management, accountability, and collaboration skills. 

At HOST, we believe change starts with people who care.

Citizens UK 

Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.

Our community sponsorship work fits within our ‘Migrants and Refugees’ theme of work, which combines place-based and multi-issue organising through our Migrants and Refugees Organising (MARO) team, and effective national campaigns, alongside the pioneering community sponsorship of refugees. Staff joining Sponsor Refugees are joining a thriving team that works collaboratively with the wider Migrants and Refugees theme. 

About

This is a rare opportunity to combine strategic leadership, policy influence, and grassroots impact. As Head of Community Sponsorship, you’ll be at the forefront of one of the UK’s most inspiring community movements. Citizens UK played a pioneering role in bringing community sponsorship of refugees to the UK and now leads national programmes helping hundreds of people find safety, belonging, and a new start.

You’ll oversee national delivery of our sponsorship work, manage a talented cross-functional team, and shape the future of the UK’s refugee resettlement system. From working with community organisers and local groups to engaging senior policymakers and funders, your leadership will help grow a movement that places compassion, collaboration, and lived experience at its heart.

We’re looking for a mission-driven leader who can think strategically, build partnerships, and inspire others, someone who believes that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things when they act together. If you’re ready to help shape the next chapter of the UK’s refugee welcome story, we’d love to hear from you.

Purpose 

At Citizens UK, our organisers and project staff work within communities to develop leaders, strengthen organisations, campaign for change and organise across difference. There are various project roles and operational, communication, finance and HR roles that support the organisation and project staff and organisers to deliver on this mission and work. This work is rewarding and can be challenging; it requires a personal commitment to inclusion, a willingness to listen and disagree respectfully, and an interest in working in an organisation where our staff, member institutions and leaders will come from a diversity of backgrounds and often hold views that may be very different from our own. More information about how we operate within this context and build trusted relationships across difference can be found on our website and is covered in induction. Onboarding and navigating this relational culture, and type of work, is supported by line managers and further training. 

Citizens UK has played a pioneering role in introducing and developing community sponsorship of refugees in the UK. In response to the Syrian refugee crisis, it called for a Canadian-style scheme in 2015, which led to the UK government launching its own programme in 2016. Citizens UK was instrumental in shaping the policy and later established the Sponsor Refugees programme in 2017 Through training, advocacy, and coordination, it has helped hundreds of local groups welcome refugee families. In 2022, Citizens UK expanded its work by launching the Communities for Ukraine programme, matching Ukrainian refugees with UK hosts and most recently has run Communities for Afghans, resettling dozens of refugees. Throughout, it has combined grassroots mobilisation with national advocacy to build a sustainable, community-led model of refugee resettlement. 

Main Responsibilities 

As Head of Community Sponsorship at Citizens UK you will lead the complex strategic and operational delivery of the Sponsor Refugees programmes. This currently includes funded work to deliver a second phase of the Communities for Afghans programme to welcome 125 Afghan refugees as well as oversee the development of influencing work around the UK Government’s forthcoming sponsorship reform agenda.

This includes managing project performance through effective monitoring and evaluation, aligning operations with the organisation’s business plan, and integrating teams to deliver impactful results. The role also involves coordinating outreach to grow the network of hosts and community sponsorship groups, while embedding refugee voices in strategic planning and promoting meaningful community engagement.

About CoppaFeel!

CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest. We educate people on the signs of breast cancer and encourage them to check their chests monthly, so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves.

We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection can save lives.

Breast cancer does not need to be detected late, and as long as we are here and continue to be supported by people like you, we will do all we can to make sure this doesn’t continue to happen.

The Role

The Senior Challenge Events Manager maternity cover role is crucial to ensure a smooth delivery of a busy portfolio of challenge events in 2026, forecast to bring in £2.8million - plus some planning for 2027. We need someone to step into this role to continue driving our growth strategy – where we are one year into a three year plan. This department’s work is vital for the continual diversification of our income, through expanding our portfolio of challenge events and recruitment of new participants. This department includes all of our third party challenge events, including the London marathon, as well as our bespoke ‘CoppaTrek!’ programme.

Leading a team of five, the Senior Challenge Events Manager will need to hit the ground running to oversee all events booked in, providing hands-on support for these events. Unusually, the Bespoke Challenge Events Manager (the manager covering the work on treks at CoppaFeel!, a direct report for this role) will also be a maternity cover role for the same period of time. This elevates the need for clean, organised and focused delivery of our events.

The Senior Challenge Events Manager will also need to represent the challenge events team internally to integrate them into the wider organisational goals, contributing to a fundraising culture at CoppaFeel!.

In addition to overseeing the delivery of 2026, the Senior Challenge Events Manager will need to prepare and plan for 2027, and work with other teams to successfully launch them towards the end of 2026. They will be required to create the budget for 2027’s events including all phased income and expenditure.

As this is an events role, you will be required to attend events out of hours and can take TOIL according to our policy. This includes attending multi day treks which we host both in the UK and abroad. In 2026, there will be three multi day treks (June, July and September – one in UK and two abroad) and two One Day treks (on weekends in June and September). There will be many challenge events in the Spring and Autumn seasons. Therefore, please bear in mind that as part of this role, you will be expected to travel and stay away from home for up to 9 days at a time. The benefit being you get to see some incredible parts of the world and meet amazing people.

In terms of the office, it is a hybrid role, with the expectation that you will attend the London office two days per week.

This is a fixed term contract for 12 months.

The British Academy – the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences - is seeking a Senior Policy Adviser to join our Public Policy Team. The role is crucial for the development and delivery of evidence-driven British Academy policy programmes in the area of environmental policy and sustainability, using SHAPE research to impact policy outcomes that support the Academy’s and the Policy Directorate’s strategy.

The role

The British Academy’s public policy programmes explore domestic policy challenges that SHAPE research (Social sciences, Humanities and the Arts for People and the Economy/Environment) can help policymakers to understand, reframe and find solutions to. We work closely with our Fellows, who are some of the world’s leading experts, alongside a diverse community of academics, experts, practitioners and importantly, policymakers. Our approach is focused on drawing together insights from SHAPE research and convening key figures to understand how these can be applied to policymaking. This gives us opportunities to bring fresh thinking to the most challenging issues, reframe debates, and develop new evidence-based solutions.

The Senior Policy Adviser will lead the delivery of evidence-driven Sustainable Futures policy programmes, with an opportunity at the outset to define the scope and strategy of these programmes. The role needs someone with understanding and knowledge of climate, nature and environmental policy from academia, policy or practice. It also needs someone comfortable bringing insights and analysis together and making new connections across policy themes to approach problems from a fresh perspective.

This is a varied role that requires someone ambitious to engage with a wide variety of contributors to bring together the insights from our evidence-base. You will have the ability to plan and deliver different types of activity: convening stakeholders, managing researchers, and collaborating with counterparts in academia and government. You will be proactive and always looking for opportunities, using effective communication and developing or strengthening crucial relationships to extend the reach of your programme. You will often work independently but won’t be on your own – we are a collaborative, supportive and friendly team of 12, working on the basis of mutual trust and responsibility, all working on different but connected areas, striving together to achieve our goals.

The Academy currently has five directorates: Communications & Marketing; Development; Policy; Research; and Resources, plus a small Governance & Fellowship Team.

Working at the Academy

Our senior management team have worked with staff to foster a culture of collaboration, respect, and empathy, in which all contributions are recognised as we work towards our common goals.

Investing in our staff and encouraging a healthy work/life balance is central to our success, as we move forward and continue to grow. Find out more about the British Academy, including our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Statement, on our website.
