Development Director Jobs in Flexible Location
About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people, working side by side with thousands of people each year as they find ways out of homelessness. We know that homelessness is not inevitable; we know that together we can end it.
This year, we will begin our new ten-year strategy to end homelessness. Key to our mission is thinking differently and more ambitiously about how we engage with corporate partners and the commercial sector and how we can generate more support for our cause across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Location: Based in our London office (we are open to a range of flexible working options, in line with Crisis’ Hybrid-Working Policy)
About the role
As we embark on a new ten-year strategy, this is a unique opportunity to lead the development of a radical and ambitious approach to partnerships with businesses, building on the successful partnerships we have with Lloyds Banking Group, Specsavers, Taylor Wimpey, Berkeley Homes and many more.
This pivotal role will lead the development of a corporate and commercial engagement strategy across Crisis, growing and deepening our portfolio of corporate partners, broadening their support for our organisation and our cause, and inspiring them to act within their businesses. The role also involves leading the continued development of our fundraising and partnerships outside of London, creating a national support network to end homelessness.
While the role is directly responsible for strategic and corporate partnerships, the post holder will lead across the charity, ensuring a joined-up approach across retail, service delivery (including Crisis at Christmas), brand partnerships, venture philanthropy, investments, and innovation.
The role also involves membership of the Brand, Marketing & Fundraising senior team and the organisation’s Senior Leadership Group, where it plays an important organisation-wide leadership role. Additional investment has recently been made in the team, and senior leadership and the Board have committed to supporting its success.

-
Can think creatively about partnerships, leveraging the unique opportunities that Crisis has.
-

We believe diversity is a strength, and we aim to ensure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
Working at Crisis

Global Health 50/50 (GH5050) is an independent, evidence-driven initiative to advance action and accountability for gender equality. GH5050 was formed around a unique model which brings together the rigour of academic research, the knowledge of how policy change can occur and the momentum of advocates and communicators to catalyse progress on gender equality. GH5050’s mission is ‘To improve health, well-being, and social justice through the promotion of human rights, particularly in relation to gender equality, by conducting research, disseminating the useful results of such research, and providing information, advice and advocacy.’ Established in 2017, GH5050 is a non-profit organisation (as a UK registered charity) headquartered in Cambridge, UK, that initially focussed on the health sector and is increasingly active in the justice and finance systems, globally and at country level.
Context
Through our flagship annual report and Gender and Health Index, GH5050 provides the only bird’s-eye view of gender, inclusion and equality in the global health sector today. The report assesses 200 organisations annually across a core set of variables on policies and practices to tackle power and privilege imbalances within the workplace, the gender and geography of organisational leadership, and whether gender is considered in any organisations' external-facing programmatic or policy work.
Based on an approach honed over seven years by Global Health 50/50, GH5050 is planning to produce rigorous data on the state of gender equality, including within career opportunities / structures, in the law/justice, and finance/economics sectors. In the law/justice sector we will review approximately 200 organisations at the global level, and then apply a similar approach and methodology at the country level (likely to be Kenya and one other country). Working with research and advocacy partners, supported by an advisory group, legal experts and a team of research consultants, GH5050 also plans to leverage the data to engage with the assessed organisations directly. The work undertaken by GH5050 in the law/justice sector is part of a wider advocacy coalition supported by the funder aiming to drive organisational change for a more diverse, inclusive and equitable global legal sector.
The successful candidate for this post is expected to play an integral role in contributing to the growth of GH5050, as well as taking a leading role in developing, managing, growing and taking ownership for this new area of work.
Role Summary
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of one of the world’s leading research and accountability initiatives for gender equality. You will join a small and growing team of staff working at GH5050, taking responsibility for the first (and subsequent) Gender, Law and Justice Report(s) (title TBA). The role will involve project design and management, conducting research and policy analysis, maintaining strong working relationships with partner organisations as well as with other GH5050 staff, dissemination, engagement and impact. These roles will be exercised at global and country levels. The post holder will share responsibility with the Head of Research & Impact for the management of research consultants working on the law and justice workstream.

All We Can/Y Care International is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the charities into the next 5-year strategy of doing development differently.
All We Can is an international development and relief organisation, working to see every person’s potential fulfilled. It was founded by the Methodist Church in the 1930s.
Y Care International supports local opportunities for vulnerable young people and their communities across the globe, to change lives for the better. It was founded by Sir Terry Waite in collaboration with the YMCA movement in the 1980s.
From 1 September 2021, All We Can and Y Care International began a formal, strategic partnership – combining efforts to tackle poverty, inequality and injustice in some of the world’s most marginalised communities. We work as one organisational team, presenting as two unique brands, fulfilling two separate, but symbiotic, strategies.
At All We Can/Y Care International we want to see every person's potential fulfilled. We work through partnership alongside our global neighbours most impacted by disasters, poverty and injustice to enable flourishing and resilient communities. We are known for doing development uniquely, which means we steer away from traditional models of development.
Instead, we understand that overcoming the challenges of poverty, crises and social injustice are complex, and can only be achieved by working with local organisations who are rooted within their communities. They are best placed to unlock the potential in their own communities. We don’t lift people out of poverty, we tackle the systemic issues of poverty to support individuals in lifting themselves. We believe this to be the greatest way because listening to the lived experiences of communities improves equality, builds capacity, enhances shared ownership and sustainability.
In all we do, we're guided by values of: Love, Collaboration and Integrity.
- Love is the oxygen of our movement, and enables meaningful relationships and actions.
- Collaboration is working together in solidarity and partnership, not control.
- Integrity is personifying honesty, transparency, and accountability.
We're looking for our next CEO to lead us in this life-changing work and into the next phase of our growth and development.
Our ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate deep practical understanding of and commitment to our partnership model in locally led development. They’ll combine a creative vision and inspiration with the ability to translate it into practical steps and lead the team with trust and accountability.
They’ll have experience of different aspects of charity work with an emphasis on income generation, finance and tracking performance against KPIs. They’ll need to work collaboratively with trustees, the staff team and key stakeholders in the Methodist Church and the YMCA movement.
As our next CEO, they’ll be joining a team of 22 colleagues in the UK and 6 Country Representatives in Ethiopia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Malawi, and together, work towards embedding a culture that is people-centred, mutually accountable, open, inclusive and caring in everything we do.
The Chief Executive Officer will be accountable for:
- Strategic leadership of the organisation
- Relationship management and external representation
- Supporting income generation
- Elements of operations and governance
- Supporting the development of an effective staff team
To be successful in the role, successful candidate will need:
- Thorough practical understanding and experience of working within the context of locally led partnership model in international development.
- Understanding of what decolonisation of aid looks like in practice.
- Passion for and interest in the work of our partners and in all you do, be led by their needs and the needs of the communities they serve.
- Practical understanding of and demonstrating our organisational values: Love, Collaboration and Integrity.
- Experience in a senior leadership role within a third sector organisation or proven transferrable experience from other sectors.
- Ability to communicate the vision and direction that the organisation is moving towards, but also the ability to translate them into practical steps, communicate them and any changes with clarity.
- Due to the history of both organisations and the relationships with key stakeholders and partners, it would be desirable for the CEO to be an active Christian; however it is not an essential requirement.
