This is more than a leadership role. It is an opportunity to shape the future of mental health support across our geographical area, influence systems that affect people’s lives, and inspire a dedicated team committed to meaningful social impact that serves the needs of our communities.
We are looking for a values-driven and strategic leader who combines vision with empathy, and who can build strong partnerships, empower people, and drive sustainable growth in an evolving sector.
As CEO, you will:
We are looking for someone who:
Closing date: 16th June 2026 Interviews: 19th June 2026
This role leads a new flagship grants and strategic activity programme - a national outdoor play partnership supporting community foundations to deliver risky, adventurous and child-directed play opportunities for children aged 0–12 in up to 20 places across the UK. You will work in the UK Community Foundations team, the national backbone, co-ordinating and convening the wider partnership. The minimum £10m programme (likely larger) runs from June 2026 through November 2031, is delivered with seed funding from an anonymous lead funder.
You will be accountable for the day-to-day running of the programme. That means managing the relationship with the lead funder, overseeing delivery across the four-outcomes learning framework, coordinating the national learning and influence backbone, building and maintaining sector relationships, and ensuring the programme is delivered on time, on budget and to consistently high standards.
Alongside the programme, you will also support wider partnerships activity and act as a point of expertise on children and young people. You will advise the Partnerships team on CYP matters, provide a credible internal source of guidance on safeguarding, and keep UKCF abreast of policy and sector developments so we are well positioned to support community foundations to design and deliver further CYP-focused partnerships.
You do not need to have worked in community foundations before. We are interested in people who combine substantial programme leadership experience - ideally within funding or grant making, though other types of programme delivery are likely to be relevant - with credible CYP sector knowledge, and the confidence to balance delivery, stakeholder relationships, sector influence and partnership support across a complex multi-year portfolio.
The Partnerships & Insight team designs and delivers UKCF's national partnerships, brings new funding into the community foundation network, and grows our influence on the policy and funding environment community foundations operate in. This role sits at the heart of all of that, and gives you a broad view across the sector, the network and the wider VCSE landscape.
We know that good programme leadership depends on different perspectives, lived experiences and ways of working. We encourage applications from people who may not meet every requirement but feel excited by the role and believe they could grow into it.
Your portfolio
You will hold responsibility for two connected areas.
Programme management (0.65 FTE)
You will lead the end-to-end delivery of the programme across four outcomes - Reach & Access; Quality & Character of Play; Lasting Local Capacity; National Evidence, Learning & Influence - and the operational layer that sits behind them. You will lead programme planning, budget management, risk management and quality assurance, working closely with the Director of Partnerships & Insight.
You will manage the relationship with the lead funder, and any subsequent funders that come on board, including reporting, milestone delivery, board updates and stewardship of the partnership over the full grant period. You will also oversee community foundation onboarding, contracting, ongoing relationship management and convening across the cohort of around 20 delivery partners.
You will coordinate the national backbone of the programme – participating community foundations, learning partner, expert panellists, sector relationships, and the dissemination of evidence and influence outputs - and oversee learning outputsagainst the programme's two-layer tracking architecture.
You will build and maintain relationships that lead to the change the programme seeks to achieve and supports a potential continuation funding pipeline. You will represent UKCF and the programme externally - with funders, government, sector bodies and international peers, including our peers at community foundations in Canada.
Wider partnerships and CYP responsibilities (0.35 FTE)
You will support the Director of Partnerships and the wider team on general partnership matters, pitching in at crunch points and offering senior advice and leadership on design and delivery.
You will act as UKCF's internal point of information on safeguarding for children and young people, supporting the Partnerships team and wider colleagues to apply appropriate standards across CYP-related programmes and proposals. Training will be provided.
You will keep UKCF abreast of CYP sector developments - policy, funding landscape, research and practice - and translate these into practical advice for partnerships and field-building work. You will advise the team on CYP matters during pipeline development, scoping and proposal-writing, making sure new opportunities are well grounded in current sector knowledge.
You will build and maintain relationships with key CYP sector bodies, funders and expert networks to position UKCF as a credible, well-informed partner in the children and young people space, and you will contribute to UKCF's wider thought leadership and external profile on CYP, including occasional speaking, writing and convening.
Your wider responsibilities
Like everyone at UKCF, you will work closely with colleagues across the organisation. You will partner with Communications, Finance, Field Building and other teams to support wider organisational activity, contribute to the development of the Partnerships & Insight team and to UKCF's culture, standards and ways of working, and take on other reasonable duties commensurate with the role.
What you will bring
We are looking for someone who combines substantial programme leadership with credible CYP sector knowledge, and who is comfortable holding the whole of a complex programme in view while making sound day-to-day decisions. You might recognise yourself in some, but not necessarily all, of the following.
Programme leadership and judgement - able to hold a complex, multi-year programme in view while making sound day-to-day decisions.
Excellent written and verbal communication, adapted confidently for funders, government, community foundations, sector peers and internal audiences.
Diplomatic, confident and effective relationship-building and influence with senior and varied stakeholders.
Proactive problem-solving - acting on initiative, diagnosing issues early and proposing practical solutions.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to balance multiple deadlines and priorities across a complex portfolio.
Creativity, flexibility and intuition, with a willingness to adapt your approach as the programme evolves.
Commitment to learning and improvement, including reflecting on your own practice and seeking continual development.
Commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion and climate justice, and interest in how these values shape programme design, participation and whose voices are heard.
Essential experience
Senior programme leadership: substantial experience leading voluntary and community sectormulti-year, multi-partner programmes, including accountability for budget, delivery and outcomes.
Children and young people sector expertise: strong working knowledge of the CYP landscape - policy, funding, practice - and credibility with sector stakeholders.
Safeguarding: confident acting as an internal point of information on safeguarding, with a basic or good understanding of safeguarding standards in CYP-related work, and willingness to undertake further training.
Stakeholder management: experience managing significant relationships, including reporting, stewardship and the negotiation of programme changes.
Charity or non-profit setting: understanding of values-driven work and the operating norms of the voluntary sector.
Data, impact and learning: able to interpret quantitative and qualitative information, undertake basic and intermediate analysis, and oversee a learning partner, monitoring, evaluation and reporting. Understanding of the norms of impact and learning in the voluntary and community sector.
Relationship management: builds trust with funders, peers, partners and delivery organisations; offers diplomatic, credible guidance.
Digital, CRM and AI confidence: confident across Office 365 and AI tools (or have started to experiment with them) to support efficient working and free up more time for relationship building. Motivated to use AI, and to do so mindfully, responsibly, ethically and to increase impact.
Ability to travel occasionally, which may include overnight stays and multi-day events.
Desirable experience
Grant making and funding, particularly relational or participatory approaches; systems change or place-based approaches to community impact; or asset-based community development and community-led programmes.
Working with community foundations or place-based funding structures.
Play, early years, youth work, education or related CYP fields.
Designing and delivering co-design, collaboration or systems-change activity.
Contributing to policy or sector influence.
Developing AI tools within a VCSE context, and understanding of AI ethics and the unique VCSE context around AI - or an interest in this topic.
Securing continuation or follow-on funding for complex programmes.

We welcome applications from people from minoritised ethnic communities, disabled people, people from lower socio-economic backgrounds and others who are underrepresented in the charity and philanthropy sector.

Product Lead – HOSTHub
(Operational Product Delivery)
Reports to: Operations Director (Head of Delivery)
Contract: 1.0 FTE (Temp to Perm)
Location: Remote (UK or International)
Role Purpose
The Product Lead – HOSTHub is responsible for identifying, prioritising, and resolving day-to-day product challenges across HOST’s digital platform.
HOSTHub serves as the operational backbone of the organisation, enabling delivery across finance, legal, partnerships, and hosted partner services. In this role, the Product Lead ensures the platform functions effectively in practice—by understanding user needs, surfacing issues early, and driving the design, prioritisation, and rapid delivery of solutions.
While contributing to the longer-term product vision in collaboration with the leadership team and development partners, the primary focus remains on operational product delivery. This includes managing fortnightly sprint cycles, maintaining a dynamic and prioritised backlog, and ensuring continuous alignment between user requirements, internal processes, and platform capabilities.
The role requires a highly hands-on individual who thrives at the intersection of users, internal teams, and developers, with the ability to translate real-world challenges into clear, actionable product decisions.
Core Responsibilities
1. Product Problem Identification and Prioritisation
Lead the ongoing identification of friction points, inefficiencies, and system gaps across HOSTHub use cases, including those impacting hosted partners, funders, and internal staff workflows.
Maintain a dynamic, prioritised backlog of product issues and enhancements, informed by user insight and operational impact.
Work closely with delivery teams across finance, legal, partnerships, and community support to understand how the platform performs in practice and where it falls short of user needs.
Translate operational challenges into clear, well-defined product requirements that are actionable for development teams.
Ensure prioritisation is driven by delivery urgency, risk exposure, and opportunities for efficiency, rather than abstract feature development.
2. Sprint Management and Delivery Execution
Own the end-to-end delivery of the product, managing fortnightly sprint cycles.
Set sprint priorities, create and refine tickets, and ensure all development work is well-scoped, logically sequenced, and ready for delivery.
Collaborate directly with development contractors to run sprint planning, stand-ups (where applicable), and sprint reviews.
Validate completed work against real user workflows before release to ensure quality and usability.
Maintain clear visibility of progress, risks, and dependencies, escalating blockers and trade-offs to the Operations Director as needed.
Provide bi-weekly sprint reports outlining delivered outcomes, outstanding issues, and upcoming priorities.
3. User Engagement and Feedback Loops
Establish continuous feedback loops with both internal users (staff teams) and external stakeholders (hosted partners and funders).
Conduct structured user conversations to understand how systems are used in practice, not just how they were designed to be used.
Validate proposed solutions with users prior to development where appropriate, ensuring alignment with real needs.
Ensure user insights consistently inform backlog prioritisation and shape sprint scope.
Maintain a clear view of user satisfaction grounded in qualitative feedback, not just survey-based metrics.
4. Cross-Team Operational Alignment
Act as the central point of coordination across product, delivery teams, and external developers.
Ensure HOSTHub effectively supports real operational workflows across key service areas, including Project Hosting, Hosted Grantmaking, and Capacity Building.
Partner closely with Finance, Legal, and Partnerships teams to align system functionality with compliance, contractual, and reporting requirements.
Identify and resolve misalignments between team processes and platform functionality, either by adapting the system or clarifying and standardising ways of working.
5. Development Oversight
Manage the day-to-day relationship with the development team, ensuring requirements are clear and issues are addressed promptly.
Ensure all development outputs are practical, functional, and aligned with real operational needs.
Avoid over-specification and unnecessary complexity, prioritising simple, implementable solutions.
Track defects, rework, and technical debt, incorporating them into sprint priorities where they have a meaningful operational impact.
6. Data, Workflow, and System Effectiveness
Ensure HOSTHub captures and delivers data that is accurate, actionable, and aligned with reporting requirements.
Identify and implement opportunities to automate key workflows, reducing manual effort across teams.
Partner with internal stakeholders to ensure system logic supports compliance and audit requirements in day-to-day operations.
Maintain clear, practical documentation of key workflows and system behaviours to support effective operational use.
7. Risk, Compliance, and System Integrity
Work closely with the Legal Lead and Operations Director to ensure product decisions do not introduce unmanaged risk.
Prioritise data protection, security, and system reliability as core product considerations.
Ensure compliance requirements, including data protection and financial controls, are embedded in how the platform operates in practice.
Take clear ownership of system incidents or failures, coordinating response and ensuring timely resolution and follow-through.
8. Contribution to Product Direction
Contribute to longer-term product thinking, including roadmap development and the ongoing evolution of the system.
Provide grounded input to strategy based on observed user behaviour, operational constraints, and delivery realities.
Ensure product direction remains focused on solutions that are practical, scalable, and genuinely valuable to users.
