Role Purpose:
Responsible Finance is the membership association for the UK’s Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs). CDFIs are community lenders, committed to delivering positive social impact, and offer fair and affordable finance to businesses, social enterprises and to people unable to access it elsewhere.
This is a pivotal moment to be joining the CDFI sector. Responsible Finance and CDFIs are poised for exciting growth following two record-breaking funding announcements in late 2024 which has seen the sector backed by Government and leading financial institutions including the British Business Bank and JPMorgan Chase. This follows Lloyds Banking Group becoming the first mainstream lender to invest in the CDFI sector earlier in the year.
The Government has also announced it is backing Responsible Finance to develop a roadmap for growth, and a new APPG for CDFIs has been set up with the official launch set for May 2026.
We are seeking an exceptional candidate to ensure that CDFIs from all sectors receive the policy and regulatory support they need to thrive.
You will manage key aspects of Responsible Finance’s policy work including consultation responses, briefings, MP outreach and building a supportive network of MPs, and writing articles to highlight key issues with the Government and our stakeholders. You will also lead on the production of RF’s annual impact report.
No prior knowledge about CDFIs is required so long as you have a keen interest to learn about the sector and are passionate about increasing access to fair finance for businesses, underserved communities and people. Do not be discouraged from applying if you do not meet all the criteria listed in this job description. If you know how to deliver results at the policy level and are a committed team player, with a can-do attitude, we want to hear from you!
Key Responsibilities:
We are looking for a candidate experienced in Policy to take forward our work with the Government and other stakeholders on supporting the growth and resilience of the UK’s Community Development Finance Institutions.
- Policy: Supporting Responsible Finance’s work with the Government including on key initiatives such as the CDFI roadmap, the new APPG for CDFIs, and managing relationships with key departments such as Department for Business and Trade, HM Treasury, and the Financial Conduct Authority, as well as relationships at a policy level with partner organisations.
- Representation: Attending events and roundtables representing Responsible Finance.
- Consultation responses: Identifying and responding to Government and other stakeholder consultations to advocate for the CDFI sector, working closely with members to inform your responses.
- MP Engagement: lead Responsible Finance’s programme of MP outreach to continue to build a base of supportive MPs and peers within parliament.
- Partnership working: Contributing to relevant campaigns and policy forums to strengthen Responsible Finance’s influence on policies that impact the sector.
- Communications: Write clear and engaging policy briefs, reports, and articles to communicate Responsible Finance’s priorities to the Government and other stakeholders. This includes writing a monthly stakeholder newsletter article.
- Impact report: Lead on Responsible Finance’s annual member Impact Report, published annually in May.
- APPG: Spearhead Responsible Finance’s role as secretariat for the new APPG for CDFIs.
- Horizon scanning: Monitor the latest research, track political debates and identify new policy developments in the areas of community finance, inclusive growth and financial inclusion.
This is a varied and dynamic role, and candidates will need to work closely with the wider team to align our policy work with our programme work. This description is not exhaustive; it outlines the key tasks and responsibilities of the post which are subject to change. Any changes will be made in consultation with the post holder.
Skills and Experience:
This role requires the following skills and experience:
- Strong demonstratable experience of delivering results in a policy role.
- Highly self-motivated and able to drive your own work forward, but equally a team player with a collaborative working style.
- Excellent communication skills including: 1) concise and plain English writing skills and ability to synthesise information into an easy to comprehend format/narrative; 2) public speaking in order to represent Responsible Finance at events.
- Strong relationship-building and interpersonal skills. Must be comfortable working with stakeholders at a range of levels, and building buy-in.
- Experience analysing and synthesising data and presenting findings clearly and succinctly. Fluency with applications such as Word and Excel is essential.
- Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders and get the information needed from busy people.
- Willingness to travel and represent Responsible Finance at events.
Working as part of a small organisation, you will need to demonstrate flexibility and willingness to pitch in to help other members of the team.
An understanding of CDFIs would be helpful but is not essential.

About us
Foxglove is a non-profit that exists to make the use of technology fair for all. When Big Tech companies abuse their power, their workers or the planet – and when governments use technology to oppress, exclude or discriminate – we litigate and campaign to fix it.
Big Tech companies have become so large – gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data – that they’re now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere – threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers’ rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Big Tech and AI data centres are rapidly expanding, resulting in huge strain on energy and water supplies. Worldwide governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI.
Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We have a strong track record. We’ve launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech’s harmful business models, supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama – winning world-first judgements. We're urging competition regulators worldwide to stop Google’s theft of independent news. We’ve filed the UK’s first legal challenge to a data centre permission decision, forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm, helped make grading fair for UK A level students and challenged the Department of Work and Pension’s use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations.
We are a small but growing team of lawyers, communications experts, and campaigners. Our work is global, and we work in partnership with lawyers, civil society, unions, and people impacted by Big Tech.
The role
As Legal Administrator, you will be responsible for supporting Foxglove’s lawyers and the external law firms with whom we partner, providing comprehensive secretarial and administrative support across all strands of our work including complex and high profile human rights and environmental cases.
The role will suit someone who has provided administrative support for a legal team before but that previous experience is not crucial. Being detail oriented, energetic and socially driven is more important to us.
Job Description
- Supporting the management of our legal projects and cases
- Logistical and general administrative planning
- Using a range of databases and software to ensure information and documents are stored securely, in the right place, and in line with confidentiality and data protection obligations
- Managing deadlines and case documentation
- Tracking completion of actions and ensuring timely responses
- Maintaining and updating master case lists
- Liaising with counsel and other stakeholders
- General secretarial and administrative support
Person specification
- An interest in tech-justice and Foxglove’s work
- Minimum of three years relevant experience
- Exceptional organizational skills, proactive and detail-oriented
- High level of speed and accuracy
- A clear, creative, confident and concise verbal and written communicator
- Ability to deliver high quality work on deadline
- Ability to sensitively support vulnerable individuals
- A self-starter / able to work independently
- Flexible and conscientious approach with the ability to manage competing priorities
- A warm and sensitive manner when supporting Foxglove’s partners
- Right to work in the UK
Length and salary
This is a permanent part-time role with a six-month probation period.
How to apply
Please make your application via Applied (redirection link provided below), answering the application questions and uploading your CV. We will not review applications sent via a job board or to our email. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis with first round interviews likely to take place on 11 March for selected candidates.
Foxglove does not use AI in its recruitment processes, except to detect applications for AI use. As a tech-justice organisation, we ask the same of our candidates.
Foxglove is growing and we are striving to build a team that is inclusive. We will create a diverse and adaptable environment where we support people to do their best work. We believe an effective and creative team is made up of people from different walks of life. You can read more about how we work and what we offer our staff on our website.
