We're FIRST UK: an EdTech charity using robots, role models and competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive – empowering young people with the technical and life skills to engineer bright futures.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
An exceptional leader who will deploy a systematic approach to identify, build and retain relationships with educators, employers, government which will underpin our growth – whilst ensuring safety, quality, and impact of experience for young people, teachers, volunteers.
As Delivery Director, you will be the senior leader accountable for two inextricably linked elements:
You will implement the growth architecture which scales the charity’s impact through:
WHAT YOU’LL GET
In addition to a genuinely distinctive mission, making STEM accessible to young people who are too often excluded from it, alongside measurable, evidenced outcomes and a growing profile with funders and media you'll have:
You will be the leader who takes a charity from start-up mode to a nationally recognised, regionally embedded impact organisation – transforming the outlook for thousands of young people annually.
WHO MIGHT THIS ROLE SUIT
Someone who 'gets' growth and has credible experience owning and scaling a programme, product, or service. You’re systematic in approach whilst appreciating the power of relationships and delivery through others. A sophisticated leader you motivate, coach and support others to achieve more. You see both the challenges and opportunities within a high growth potential organisation and are always ahead of them.
I love the sound of this; is there more I need to know?
If there is, we'll chat about it at the ‘get to know’ stage.
CONDITIONS
We don’t talk about benefits; we talk about culture. It’s not how many hours you work or where you work them – it’s what you deliver.
Location
Our team is home-based, coming together regularly to co-work, and deliver events. You should expect to attend a team collaboration day at least monthly, usually in London. This may require an overnight stay dependent on your location. If you can conduct your role effectively and are willing to travel to maximise growth opportunities, you can be based anywhere in the UK.
APPLICATION PROCESS
SAFER RECRUITMENT
To apply you must live in and have the right to work in the UK. In accordance with our Safer Recruitment Policy, all employees of the charity will be asked for two references which will be conducted by phone and are subject to Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks upon appointment.
Championing diversity in STEM
FIRST UK is committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of the young people we serve. We actively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those underrepresented in STEM and in the charity sector. If you share our belief that every young person deserves access to meaningful engineering and technology experiences regardless of their background, we would love to hear from you.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
About the Spokesperson Network
The Spokesperson Network trains and supports people to speak on television and radio. We are substantially boosting the number of progressive, diverse voices in this space to challenge opposition narratives and boost coverage of underrepresented issues.
The programme works by training, coaching and providing PR booking support for spokespeople from civil society working on social, environmental and economic issues. So far we’ve had over 11,000 high-profile media bookings including Question Time, Newsnight, Good Morning Britain, LBC, Channel 4 News, BBC 5 Live, Today, Sky News and ITV News plus many more.
Purpose of the role
The Press Officer is central to our flagship Spokesperson Network programmes, placing people in broadcast media on a regular basis, developing and maintaining media contacts and meeting the needs of participants on the Spokesperson Network.
Your main day-to-day role will be identifying opportunities for members of our Spokesperson Network, and then coordinating between them and producers to secure TV and radio opportunities for them. You will build relationships with journalists - and increasingly seek our print and digital opportunities too.
Most days will involve spotting opportunities in the news early in the day that would be relevant for the spokespeople we have on our books, checking in with the various spokes to see who is available, formatting pitches to put out on our media list and then fixing up the details when media bids come in to ensure that bookings happens smoothly and effectively.
Requests for the members of the Spokesperson Network happen regularly outside of office hours and during the weekend. Part of this role will involve sharing responsibility to be available to respond to these bookings and fix them up when they happen. You will be recompensed for this with TOIL.
This project is part of a wider Communications Hub in which you’ll play an active role helping to develop the overall strategy and direction of the project.
What you will be doing
Here are the key responsibilities of this role:
Identify relevant stories in the news and subsequently pitch and book spokespeople into broadcast media (television and radio) and respond to media requests.
Train spokespeople to speak in the media and provide media skills training for campaigners and other organisations.
Build new media relationships to widen the range of producers working with the Spokesperson Network
Support spokespeople, taking into consideration the ways in which broadcast media work interacts with people's identities and lived experience.
Work with others in the Comms Team on the development and implementation of effective messaging.
Identifying clippable content, creating clips.
Play an active role in the wider Comms Hub, attending and feeding into key messaging and narrative development.
Play an active part in the whole NEON team, contributing to organisation-wide plans
Who you are:
Experience in journalism, communications or media relations
Experience of building and maintaining relationships with journalists
Proven understanding of anti-oppression work and commitment to tackling all institutional forms of oppression, bigotry and exclusion
Experience working in the economic and social justice campaigning community in any kind of capacity
Excellent writing and editing skills, including an eye for detail
Excellent interpersonal skills and communicating appropriately with different stakeholders
The ability to meet tight deadlines and manage multiple priorities
Ability to work well under pressure, at a fast pace, meet the demands of a dynamic organisation and accommodate changing circumstances
Ability to work well in a team and also independently.
An affinity with NEON’s aims and objectives and organisational values of solidarity, generosity and respect
Preferred/Optional
Experience of working with an organisation with a substantial media profile
Experience of coordinating media responses in hostile situations
Experience in working in or with the range of groups that are in the NEON network
Values and behaviours
Personal commitment to NEON’s purpose of building the strength of movements for social, economic and environmental justice
Commitment to eradicating oppression and building connections with marginalised groups
Ability to reflect and learn, including sharing failures and uncertainties. Openly taking feedback from the team and members of the community on your behaviours and work
Commitment to learning how to align your actions with the values of NEON: solidarity, generosity and respect
Growing levels of self-awareness, including an understanding of how your background has shaped the opportunities afforded to you and how you relate to people from different backgrounds
Willingness to develop emotional intelligence, including a growing ability to empathise with and appreciate others, creating opportunities for those you work with to grow and develop
Ability to work across all levels and demonstrate a team-player and ‘can do’ attitude.
About NEON:
NEON is a capacity and infrastructure building organisation that seeks to accelerate the transition to a new economy by building the power of social movements - because without strong social movements we lack the power we need to win. We deliver trainings, develop resources, facilitate collaboration and work in partnership with key movement allies, especially in the climate, housing and migration movements. Our focus is on strengthening the organising, communications and strategy skills of social movement organisations, as well as deepening movement alignment, as we believe these are key to building collective power. As part of our work, we are looking to change the starting point in social movements from “what do we agree on” to “what can we win together?”
We also aim to mirror the change we want to see in social movements in the way we run the organisation internally. To that end, we are committed to building a workplace centred on joy, care and justice, whilst maintaining healthy boundaries of what a workplace is. We do this because it is important to live our values and principles, and because strategically an organisation with a healthy culture and strong foundations ensures we are always one step ahead in the fight for a just and sustainable future.
To build a culture and community that lasts, we organise around three values:
● Solidarity - we’re here to change the system and that requires working together across issues and sectors that aren’t normally in the same room. This means placing anti-oppression at the heart of our work and building the power of people most often affected by injustice to change the leadership of our movements
● Generosity is about sharing our time, resources and learning with one another as we support each other’s work. It means being open and honest with one another, especially when we hit problems, and thinking creatively about how we positively build from there
● Respect is the bottom line for all relationships in NEON. It means being respectful of different backgrounds and life experiences and giving space for all voices to be heard. This often means listening more than we talk and being open to changing ourselves as a result of what we hear.
You can also check out our website for more info on NEON.
How to apply
We don’t want to make this process too complicated so please complete and return the application form attached to the job listing on our website.
We'd also be really grateful if you could complete our Equal Opportunities Monitoring form equally linked on the website.This is optional, anonymous, and separate from your application, so it won't be seen by the shortlisting panel or affect your application in any way.
We know that people from certain backgrounds and identities are often excluded in progressive movements and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this.
So:
We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Disabled people and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past.
We know the work goes way beyond "diversity", it's about making the space inclusive too. So we are continuously working on that at NEON. So far this includes tangible things like a flexible work policy so people have genuine flexibility around where and when they work and a 28 hour week as standard; a gender-neutral parenting/leave policy, an anti-oppression strategy which is held at senior level given how important it is to the organisation. It also includes the day-to-day work of creating psychological safety for everyone at NEON and celebrating the wisdom of black, indigenous, queer, Disabled and other cultures in the way we work and behave
There are no formal education requirements for this role. As long as you can show us you have the skills we don’t mind where you got them from! Also important to us is your potential to learn and grow in the role so even if you don’t have 100% of the skills listed we want to hear from you. If you fancy a chat about the role or have any questions about NEON in general, you can reach out to Matthew Butcher or Molly Fleming via email (on our website). You can request a call back via this email if you prefer.
We will treat the data you provide in your application in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

WSUP provides a welcoming, non-judgemental, open-access community space where guests can access practical support, health and wellbeing services, specialist advice, and trusted relationships.
Our work is rooted in lived experience, dignity and relational support. We meet people where they are, offering both immediate relief and pathways into longer-term stability, recovery and community connection. WSUP works closely with local and national partners across health, housing, recovery, advice and community wellbeing to reduce health inequalities and improve outcomes for people who often face barriers to mainstream services.

The Health Coordinator will also play a key role in developing and overseeing WSUP’s women’s service provision, including Women’s Wednesday. This will include coordinating health and wellbeing support, strengthening referral pathways for women, supporting peer-led activity, promoting safety and inclusion, and ensuring the service responds to the needs of women experiencing homelessness, domestic abuse, poor mental health, addiction, temporary accommodation, poverty, social isolation or resettlement barriers.

· Maintain regular follow-up with guests who may miss appointments, disengage or require repeated encouragement to access support.
· Maintain accurate, confidential and GDPR-compliant records using WSUP’s case management systems.
2. Development of Women’s Service Provision
· Lead the development and day-to-day oversight of WSUP’s women’s service provision, including Women’s Wednesday.
· Ensure Women’s Wednesday provides a safe, welcoming, women-only, low-barrier community support space offering peer support, health coordination, wellbeing activities, welfare advice and community connection.
· Work with women using WSUP services to co-produce activities and shape the ongoing development of the women’s programme.
· Identify and respond to the specific needs of women experiencing homelessness, domestic abuse, unsafe housing, temporary accommodation, poor mental health, substance misuse, poverty, trauma, isolation or resettlement barriers.
· Develop clear pathways into specialist support for women, including domestic abuse services, sexual health services, mental health support, substance misuse services, housing advice, welfare advice, safeguarding provision and emergency support.
· Provide a trusted community hub for women who may not yet feel ready to engage with formal casework or statutory services.
· Help women reduce isolation, build confidence, sustain community connections and gradually move towards more formal support where appropriate.
· Monitor attendance, outcomes, feedback and emerging needs within the women’s service and report learning to WSUP’s leadership team.
· Promote a psychologically safer environment for women who may have experienced trauma, stigma, exploitation, violence, exclusion or previous negative experiences of services.
3. Partnership Working

· Work alongside volunteers with lived experience to provide safe, relational and purposeful support.
· Help ensure peer volunteers understand safeguarding, boundaries, confidentiality, lone-working and referral procedures.
· Contribute to volunteer briefings, debriefs and reflective practice where relevant.
· Support quarterly co-production sessions with women using WSUP’s provision, enabling them to shape activities, share feedback and identify gaps in support.
· Ensure feedback from guests and women using the service informs programme development, partnership working and service improvement.
· Promote lived experience as a valued part of WSUP’s approach while ensuring appropriate support, supervision and boundaries are in place.

Board Member
Flexible, with mix of online and in person meetings in Gloucester
£5,000 per annum and relevant training
Time commitment for the role will be up to two days per month, which will vary. This includes preparation for, and attendance at, the following annual meetings:
• Eight Committee meetings (mix of face-to-face and MS Teams)
• Four Board meetings (MS Teams)
• Up to four Strategic Planning and Board Development days (face-to-face, including one overnight stay)
Supporting around 12,500 customers in more than 5,000 homes across Gloucester, everything we do is focused on helping people and communities thrive. We work together to provide safe, secure homes and deliver services that make a positive difference to people’s lives.
Do our values and purpose resonate with you? Could you bring a fresh perspective to our boardroom? We’re looking for two new non-Executive Directors to join us as Board Members and help shape our future and build on our successes.
We’re looking for people with different experiences and viewpoints. One role will be a GCH customer, or someone with recent lived experience of social housing. The other is for someone with strong local knowledge and a real connection to Gloucester. In both roles, you’ll use your insight and experience to support, challenge and influence our decision making.
We’re particularly interested in hearing from people with skills or experience in cyber security, digital and data, property maintenance or asset management.
You may be reading this and thinking you're not a 'typical' Board Member. That's exactly why we'd like to hear from you. You don't need previous Board experience or a corporate background. What matters most is your ability to think strategically, ask the right questions and share your perspective. We'll provide a full induction, training and ongoing support.
We're committed to having a Board that reflects the diverse communities we serve. Different backgrounds, experiences and viewpoints help us make better decisions for our customers and our organisation.
An interest in housing and the challenges facing the sector would be helpful, but it's not essential. What's most important is a commitment to putting customers at the heart of decision-making and sharing our values of Pride, Quality, Integrity and Innovation.
Why GCH?
We're not a typical housing association. We have deep roots in Gloucester and a strong ambition to make a lasting positive impact on our communities. We're committed to building a healthy, inclusive organisation that treats people with respect and creates opportunities for everyone.
We have an ambitious five-year strategy and continue to evolve in response to changing customer needs, new regulations and a rapidly changing environment. Strong governance is vital to our success, helping us achieve our vision of creating homes and communities where people can thrive.
Your Application
Thank you for your interest in joining our Board.
Whether you’re a customer, have recent lived experience of social housing, or bring strong local knowledge and professional skills, we’re excited to hear from you. Whatever your background, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to an organisation at the heart of Gloucester’s communities.
The following will give you more information about GCH, our work and our ambitions, helping you decide whether this could be the right opportunity for you and supporting you with your application.
We’d like to learn more about you, including your skills, experience and knowledge, what motivates you to apply and how your values align with ours.
