Job description

Good relationships shape our health and happiness, yet we are taught so little about them. LMK (Let Me Know) is on a mission to change that. We are a young and thriving charity providing education about healthy and unhealthy behaviours so that young people have the knowledge and skills to avoid abuse and thrive in their relationships. We work in schools, community organisations and workplaces across London.

Working with the CEO, and our Youth Advisory Board, this role helps shape the strategic direction for LMK.

We’re especially keen to hear from candidates who have:

Strong understanding of RSHE / relationship education
Senior leadership experience
Experience in designing and delivering youth-focused education programmes
Safeguarding expertise (DSL experience highly desirable)
The ability to inspire, lead and support a diverse team.
