Living Wage Places
The Living Wage Places scheme is pioneering a collaborative, place-based approach to tackling in-work poverty. Local action groups made up of public and private sector Living Wage Employers, work together with charities, unions and civil society on a three-year action plan to tackle local in-work poverty and grow the number of employers committed to the Living Wage, Living Hours and Living Pensions.
Since the scheme launched in 2019, we have recognised 20 cities, boroughs and city-regions for Making Living Wage Places.
Living Wage Places taps into the power of place, recognising and developing local champions within our network and supporting them to engage and influence their community’s employers. It feeds into broader local economic plans such as community wealth building and local anchor institution work.
Living Wage Foundation
The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011.
Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting over 475,000 people and winning over £3bn of better wages for people who need it most.
Citizens UK works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take the same deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.
Main Responsibilities
The Programme Manager for Living Wage Places plays a central role in delivering and growing a pioneering, place-based approach to tackling in-work poverty. The role is responsible for managing and developing the Living Wage Places programme, supporting local action groups to deliver ambitious action plans, and embedding wider standards including Living Hours and Living Pensions. They will be the first point of contact for regional leads seeking guidance in their work/regions. Working across a broad range of internal teams and external stakeholders, the Programme Manager will build strategic partnerships, strengthen regional networks, and ensure effective monitoring, evaluation and learning across the programme. The role combines strong
project management with relationship building, strategic thinking and a commitment to increasing the scale and impact of the Living Wage movement.
Working as the Programme Manager, reporting to the Senior Programme Manager for Living Wage Places, ,
your main responsibilities will include:

Join an ambitious charity working with some of the UK’s biggest brands to help create a future without food allergy.
This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious and commercially minded partnerships leader to join a fast-paced, high-profile team at a pivotal moment of growth — leading exciting national partnerships, developing a passionate team and helping shape the future of Natasha's Foundation.
Founded following the high-profile and tragic death of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse from a food allergic reaction at just 15 years old, our mission is deeply personal, urgent and driven by a determination to create lasting change.
Already partnering with leading retailers, food brands and major businesses across the UK, we are looking for an experienced, relationship-driven Head of Corporate Partnerships to help grow and strengthen our high-profile partnership portfolio.
This is far more than a traditional charity partnerships role. You will join a dynamic, ambitious and fast-paced team working closely with nationally recognised brands, senior stakeholders and influential partners to deliver meaningful collaborations that drive income, awareness, engagement and long-term impact.
At Natasha’s Foundation, we are passionate, forward-thinking and hugely ambitious about what we want to achieve. We are building a high-performing fundraising and partnerships team that combines purpose with pace, creativity and commercial thinking. We are looking for someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, enjoys building genuine relationships and is excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of one of the UK’s most important and fast-growing health charities.
Reporting to the Director of Corporate Partnerships and Fundraising, the Head of Corporate Partnerships will lead and support the development of strategic partnerships, manage and inspire a growing team, and help unlock exciting new opportunities across corporate fundraising, brand partnerships, sponsorship, cause-related marketing and employee engagement.
You will be confident engaging with senior decision-makers, passionate about creating innovative partnerships and motivated by being part of a charity with a bold vision for a future without food allergy.
The role is primarily remote with regular travel to meetings, events and monthly team days in London. Our partnerships and stakeholder relationships span the UK, with many key corporate contacts based across London, the Midlands and the North, making this an excellent opportunity for candidates who enjoy building relationships nationally and working with leading brands across multiple sectors.
