The University of Leicester has been changing the world, and changing people’s lives, for 100 years. When you join us, you’ll become part of a community of Citizens of Change, which includes not only our staff and our current students but also thousands of Leicester graduates around the world.
As a diverse and forward-thinking employer, we embed the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion into everything we do. That includes not just our core missions of teaching and research, but also our support for staff, students and our local community.
We’re committed to the wellbeing of all our staff and to the sustainability of our environment, on our campus and beyond.

The Head of Programmes, forming part of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and reporting directly to the CEO, is a critical role holding overall responsibility and management of Youth Realities’ programme delivery and development.
Youth Realities currently runs four core programmes, underpinning our three outlined priority pillars: prevention, intervention and healing.
- Deepin Relationships - healthy relationships education in communities and schools
- Young Women's IDVA Support - specialist, long term support for young survivors of abuse and violence in their close relationships
- Deepin Dance - a weekly dance space for young women aged 16-25 who have survived relationship violence
- Wellbeing Activities - regular community-based wellbeing workshops, trips and creative days for young people aged 11-25
The charity currently engages over 100 young people each year in intervention and healing activities, with an additional target of 1500 young people per year to be engaged in the Deepin Relationships programme through funding awarded from May 2024 - May 2026.
The primary role of the Head of Programmes is to oversee the delivery, development and evaluation of all programmes, which will include direct line management of all delivery staff (currently seven).
Youth Realities is currently going through an exciting transitional period, as the current Founder and CEO is leaving the charity in August 2024 and a new CEO will be joining our excellent team. With both SLT members being new to the charity, this is a brilliant opportunity to bring fresh perspectives, energy and passion to Youth Realities, taking guidance from the knowledge and experience of the serving staff team.
It will be critical that the first few months of this role are spent learning, exploring, listening to and working closely with staff and young people supported. Building strong staff relationships is crucial to the success of this role, to be able to truly understand how the charity operates as a small, grass-roots community provision.

Strategy Transformation Lead
Major UK Family Foundation
Up to £90k
London and remote
A major family foundation is seeking a strategy lead to support the evolution of the organisation in terms of mission and structure to align with the ambitions of the Founder as changes take place in the external environment that require adapting funding priorities and the engagement with grantees and strategic partners.
The Foundation exists to tackle a broad range of inter-related societal and environmental challenges to bring about fundamental and lasting change to improve outcomes for people and planet.
Experience of the family foundation sector would perhaps be helpful, but it is by no means essential. Understanding the motivations for philanthropic giving and the structures/processes involved in identifying the best sources for investment, the systems for programme development, delivery and evaluation will, however, be important.
