SLRA is a well-established local migrant support organisation working with and for refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants who are at risk or in crisis because of immigration issues.

We are looking for a new CEO to lead our dedicated team and continue to develop SLRA’s outstanding services and impact. We are looking for a determined and inspirational leader.

As we look to our new strategic period, we are looking for a new CEO who will ensure the continued exceptional impact of our work with local migrant individuals and communities and who will continue to develop our campaigning and policy influencing work at a time when the hostility of the external environment and government policies is more challenging than ever.

As part of this network, we challenge the one-size-fits-all approach in our employment practices, and respect personal circumstances and needs of people with lived experience.

At Working Options, we are keenly aware that talent exists in all parts of society, and yet opportunities are not available to all. We aim to help all young people in the UK to transform their career and life chances. In 2024 we delivered in-person activities for 73,000 young people and engaged 2.5 million with digital content. We are proud of the impact our small, dedicated team has, and we can only achieve this success with committed volunteers, schools and funding partners who value the services we offer.

We were founded in Luton in 2012, and in 2024 following a generous grant from the Moondance Foundation we launched our work in Wales. So far, we have supported 20,000 Welsh students in a quarter of Welsh secondary schools. By 2029 we aim to be working in all state secondary schools across the country.

We are looking for a strategic lead to take our work in Wales to the next level. With oversight of our Wales Accelerator, the postholder will develop relationships with funders, media, government, and other key players to open doors for our work across Wales. You will listen and respond to local needs to direct our operational work on the ground.

Success in this role will be measured by our increased profile, new partnerships and income secured to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of our work in Wales.

We are flexible about whether this is a full-time or part-time position. The postholder will work closely with me and our Trustees, our key Advisors and Ambassadors (high-profile and well-connected individuals from a range of sectors), as well as our Head of Programme and delivery team for Wales. Your contribution to our work will be critical to our success, maximising the number of businesses, individuals and schools joining our movement to help all young people in Wales achieve career success.

Rydym yn hyblyg ynghylch a yw hon yn swydd amser llawn neu'n rhan-amser. Bydd deiliad y swydd yn gweithio'n agos gyda mi a'n Hymddiriedolwyr, ein Hymgynghorwyr a'n Llysgenhadon allweddol (unigolion proffil uchel â chysylltiadau da o ystod o sectorau), yn ogystal â'n Pennaeth Rhaglen a'n tîm cyflawni ar gyfer Cymru. Bydd eich cyfraniad at ein gwaith yn hanfodol i'n llwyddiant, gan gael y nifer uchaf o fusnesau, unigolion ac ysgolion i ymuno'n mudiad i helpu holl bobl ifanc Cymru i gyflawni llwyddiant gyrfa.
