About you

You will be organised, resourceful and confident at turning stories and evidence into compelling fundraising content.

Fundraising experience is welcome, but transferable skills in communications, marketing, business development or supporter care are also valued.

This is a new role at ECU, being recruited as part of a wider programme of work to deepen the relationships between national organisations working on economic systems change and grassroots campaigners. The Campaigns Lead will work closely with the Head of Campaigns on driving forward our high-impact campaigns for economic systems change.

For at least the first year, the Campaigns Lead will be working primarily on our coalition campaign on the cost of living crisis, Cost of Living Action. The campaign, which is currently made up of over 40 organisations from across civil society, unions and grassroots groups, aims to end the cost of living crisis and put in place solutions to prevent it from ever happening again. It focuses on our policy demands in five areas that drive the cost of living crisis: wages, social security, energy, housing and taxation. The campaign positions itself as the civil society coalition focused on the cost of living as a whole, and that solutions to it must be addressed that way. The campaign relaunched in early 2026 and has a vital role to play in putting media and political pressure on the government to take action. 

We also work closely with those most impacted by the crisis and aim to centre the voices of those with lived experience of economic hardship in all that we do. This role will shape and drive forward a programme of impactful communications, advocacy and other campaigning activities under the rebooted campaign to secure transformative changes that bring real improvement to people’s lives. There is ample opportunity to engage politically in this role, increasing as you develop in the position.

• Hybrid (London), 3 days a week in-person with the team at GoodWork HQ, Warren Street.
• 25 days holiday per year, plus Bank Holidays and additional leave during our annual Winter Break between Christmas and New Year.
• Appointment is subject to Enhanced DBS Check. GoodWork operates in line with safe recruitment practices and adherence to our Safeguarding Policy is essential.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Programme Officer to join our team, taking ownership of programme delivery while also building the systems and structures that help our programmes grow. You’ll join as a senior member of our programmes team, taking a leadership role across our programme design and delivery, as well as contributing to the strategic direction of our work with young people. You’ll report to our Programme Manager.

This role will involve:

Programme Management

• You’ll take ownership of end-to-end delivery across multiple programmes, managing recruitment, onboarding and logistics.
• You’ll independently scope, plan and deliver programmes, setting clear milestones and flagging early where timelines or expectations need to shift.
• You’ll recruit, onboard and manage volunteers, ensuring we deliver a great volunteer experience and maximising impact for our young people.
• You’ll work with our Programme Manager to scope and deliver strategic projects across the programmes team, using data, feedback and learning to improve our programmes over time and looking for opportunities to strengthen our systems, processes and quality.

Programme Delivery

• You’ll provide 1:1 support to young people, checking in on their progress and goals, and offering advice, support and accountability throughout their journey.
• You’ll design and deliver training for young people, alongside information sessions and training for our corporate partners and volunteers. This will include taking ownership of specific content areas, and supporting more junior team members to build confidence and consistency in facilitation.
• You’ll uphold a rigorous approach to safeguarding, making sure the welfare of the young people we support is prioritised throughout our work.

Stakeholder Engagement

• You’ll lead stakeholder engagement at all levels, from scheduling volunteering days with corporate partners, to checking in with employer partners on how young people are progressing in their roles.
• You’ll support youth engagement and outreach activity where needed.

Team Contribution and Leadership

• You’ll line manage up to two members of the programmes team, holding regular check-ins, providing feedback, and supporting their goal-setting, development and retention.
• You’ll develop others through mentorship, guidance and feedback, particularly in areas where you have stronger knowledge or experience.
• You’ll support hiring, onboarding and training as the team grows.
• You’ll help shape the organisation for the future, sharing feedback and ideas, and researching, proposing and testing new approaches that support team and organisational learning.

What we're looking for

We’re especially interested in candidates with demonstrable experience owning programme delivery and managing others, alongside strengths in areas like curriculum development, volunteer management, or monitoring and evaluation. You don’t need to have worked in youth employment or the charity sector before, but a commitment to our mission and good understanding of the barriers to work faced by young people from low-income backgrounds is essential.

This is an experienced hire role, and we’re looking for someone with solid professional experience, including some prior experience managing or mentoring others, who can apply sound judgement and hold real ownership in a fast-moving environment. You don’t need to have a degree.

Programme ownership and delivery.

• You have a track record of independently planning and delivering a programme or project end-to-end, setting your own milestones and adapting when timelines or expectations shift.
• You’re comfortable managing multiple priorities at once, and delivering to a high standard in a fast-paced environment.

Line management and development of others.

• You’ve supported someone else’s development directly - through formal line management or informal mentoring - holding check-ins, giving constructive feedback, and helping them grow.
• You’re someone others can turn to when they need guidance, particularly in areas where you have stronger knowledge or experience.

Strategic thinking and problem solving.

• You can think creatively, spot where a system, process or piece of delivery isn’t working, and take the initiative to improve it.
• You respond positively when things don’t go to plan, and can manage both the day-to-day detail and the bigger picture.

Communication and facilitation.

• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with good attention to detail.
• You’re confident facilitating workshops and delivering training yourself, and able to help less experienced colleagues build their own confidence in the room.

Relationship building.

• You’re comfortable building relationships with a wide range of people, including partners and volunteers, and representing the organisation in a warm and professional way.
• You’re able to build trusting relationships with young people. You approach others with empathy, warmth and good judgement.

Resilience and a growth mindset.

• You can operate well in uncertainty, learn as you go, and stay motivated through challenges. Adaptability and perseverance are crucial to the success of the young people on our programme, and it’s important that our team models these behaviours too.

We work with a diverse group of young people from underserved communities. We encourage applications from candidates from minoritised ethnic backgrounds, and those who have lived experience relevant to our programme - particularly non-graduates and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

How we work 

We’re a small but fast-growing team. You’ll join our staff team (and office dog, Annie) working day-to-day in the business, but will also engage with young people, our funders and partners, our Board, and many of the amazing volunteers who help us deliver our programme.

We use Slack, Notion and Claude day-to-day to keep in touch and support our work across the team. Our team works together in-person at least three days a week at GoodWork HQ, our beautiful space on Warren Street in central London where we host events, deliver training and work with our community.

You’ll need to be able to attend occasional in-person events, including possible evening sessions for which time off in lieu will be given. You should also expect to attend regular in-person meetings with our London-based partners.

Life at GoodWork

Making GoodWork a great place to work is hugely important to us, and as a small charity we’re continuously working to improve our offer. For now, our team benefits from:

• Personal training budget to invest as you’d like, as well as access to more in-person and online training through our membership of London Youth and the Charity Learning Consortium
• Access to individual coaching to support professional development with qualified coaches, through our corporate partners
• Quarterly official team socials and ad hoc team social activities, recent highlights have included a team Iftar, pottery painting, a Monopoly Deal and Pizza Night and team crafting lunchtime
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme with Health Assured
• Enhanced Maternity and Shared Parental Leave, after a year’s service
• A dog-friendly office 🐶
• The option to work up to two weeks a year ‘super remote’ (from anywhere)
• A values and mission driven team (find out more about our values on our website) and the opportunity to be part of shaping a rapidly growing organisation
