Help us shape the future of care and support for older people.
We are looking for a highly capable and ambitious Director of Care and Support to lead the next stage of development for our care services.
This is a senior leadership role, with responsibility for our Day Care and Home Support services, as well as our Home Care services, which are in development. The postholder will act as the CQC Registered Manager for our regulated care activity, ensuring that our services are safe, high quality, person-centred, compliant and ready to grow.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who combines strong care leadership with commercial awareness, operational grip and a genuine commitment to improving later life. You will help us build services that families trust, staff are proud to deliver, and older people experience as compassionate, reliable and life-enhancing.
About the role
As Director of Care and Support, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across a varied portfolio of services. You will be responsible for quality, compliance, people, performance, budgets and service development.
You will lead managers and staff to deliver excellent services, while also developing our care offer so that it is sustainable, responsive to local need and aligned with our charitable purpose.
You will ensure that our regulated service meets CQC requirements and that strong systems are in place for safeguarding, quality assurance, risk management, care planning, supervision, training, audit and continuous improvement.
This is a role for someone who can think strategically, act decisively and stay close enough to operational detail to know whether services are genuinely working well for the people who use them.
What we are looking for
We are looking for someone to help us create and launch something new – someone with significant experience in adult social care, community services, home care, or a closely related field. You will understand what good care looks like and have the leadership skills to make it happen consistently.
You will bring strong knowledge and experience of CQC-regulated services, safeguarding, quality assurance and person-centred care. You will also have experience of managing people, budgets, performance and change.
Just as importantly, you will be warm, professional, resilient and values led. You will be able to build trust with staff, families, partners, commissioners, trustees and regulators, while holding high standards and addressing issues when needed.
Why join us?
This is a chance to make a real difference at an important point in our development. We have clear ambitions for our care and support services, and we are looking for a leader who can help us turn those ambitions into high-quality, sustainable services for older people and their families.
You will join an organisation with a strong local reputation, a clear charitable purpose and a commitment to doing the right thing for the people we support. We're small but have big ambitions!
As an employee of Age UK Nottingham & Nottinghamshire, you will be eligible for our attractive package which includes 24 days' annual leave (pro rata) plus public holidays, flexible working, and a 4% employer contribution pension (in line with auto-enrolment rules). You will also have access to a Blue Light Card, BUPA Employee Assistance Programme and a range of retail, travel and lifestyle employee discounts.

Today, 12 children and young people will be diagnosed with cancer. We’ll stop at nothing to make sure they get the right care and support at the right time.
Change lives in a life-changing career
When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.
The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer. We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise wellbeing. And we stop at nothing to make sure they get the right care and support at the right time.
We challenge the systems and policies that surround children and young people, we highlight gaps and campaign for change. Because we know what a better future could look like. And we know what we need to do to make that future a reality. We need to push harder, reach further and work smarter. And we need the right people on our team to help us get there. People like you.
About the role
We’re looking for a Head of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) with experience of designing and embedding organisational DEIB strategies and leading culture change at a senior level to join our CEO Office.
This is a pivotal leadership role at a critical moment in our DEIB journey. You will lead the development of our next DEIB strategy, building on our ‘Brave, Not Perfect’ commitments and driving forward meaningful, measurable change across the organisation. Working closely with the CEO and Executive Team, you will shape the vision, influence decision-making and ensure DEIB is fully embedded across our culture, systems and ways of working.
You’ll act as both a strategic lead and an organisational change expert – engaging colleagues, supporting leaders, and ensuring our work reflects the diverse needs of the children and young people we support. This role does not have direct reports but carries significant influence across the organisation, requiring strong leadership, resilience, and the ability to bring others on the journey.

We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support.

Citizens UK
Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.
Living Wage Foundation
The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011.
Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting half a million people and winning over £3bn of better wages for people who need it most.
Citizens UK works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take the same deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies. We are a non-partisan organisation and work with partners across the political spectrum to advance our mission.
Purpose
The Living Wage Foundation is seeking an experienced and driven Senior Media and Communications Manager to join our team for a 12-month contract. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organised and proactive communications professional with a strong background in media relations, public messaging, and team leadership.

The postholder will lead all media, messaging, and external affairs work, developing and implementing a proactive media strategy that supports our mission and key campaigns, such as Living Wage Week and the annual Rates announcement.

This role will work closely with Citizens UK colleagues, including the Citizens UK communications team on cross-organisational priorities. You will report to the Head of Communications.

In collaboration with other senior managers, you will help foster a culture that values creativity, innovation, and strategic impact.
