About Screen Share
Screen Share is the leading refugee digital inclusion charity in the UK. Our mission is to ensure every refugee in the UK has access to a connected digital device and the skills to use it to achieve their goals. We provide devices, internet connectivity, and digital skills support to refugees. Our full-service digital inclusion support gives refugees an opportunity to get on with their lives. If they are digitally excluded, they cannot access education, employment, or support services. Being offline slows down language learning, delays the asylum process, creates social isolation and marginalises refugees at a time in their lives when they have to be online. By providing refugees with the tools and confidence to operate online, our work fosters agency and independence, allowing refugees to rebuild their futures on their own terms.
It's a genuinely exciting time to join Screen Share. Our new 2026–2030 strategy sets an ambitious vision: to scale our impact to reach 5,000 people annually; build a nationwide, integrated programme model across multiple cities; deepen our lived-experience leadership; and deliver a sustainable, circular-economy approach to device reuse. Every element of our work is guided by our values Responsibility, Sustainability, Equity, and Collaboration, which you can read more about in the applicant pack.
We are looking for a hands-on leader who can bring significant income-generating expertise to a new challenge. You’ll sit lead our Outreach team, be a collaborative 'do-er' who leads inclusively, is passionate about our mission and wants to add value to our small team from day one. We want to work with someone who is excited by our growth journey and can be flexible and dynamic as we scale. We are launching our Senior Leadership Team this summer, which includes a Director of Income to take ownership of our income generation, drive forward our social value offer and lead our Outreach team effectively and kindly.
Purpose of the Role
The Director of Income role is responsible for leading our income generation. Our fundraising strategy is to significantly grow and further diversify our income, with a particular focus on corporate and trading income. The postholder will coordinate our fundraising activity, lead our Outreach team and work closely with the CEO to drive forward our income generation so we can safely deliver our ambitious strategy over the next 5 years.
In particular, the postholder will be responsible for coordinating and developing our income function, converting our strategic fundraising objectives into operational plans, managing the Head of Outreach and representing the organisation externally. However, the role is not solely governance and leadership - we need a do-er who is comfortable working in a small team and sharing responsibilities, including submitting fundraising proposals and taking responsibility for our reporting. They will work closely with the CEO, Director of Programmes, Head of Outreach and Communications and Fundraising Coordinator to ensure we are communicating our value proposition coherently and effectively to the important stakeholders that make our work possible.
We do not see this as a traditional fundraising director role - we are looking for a skilled generalist who can meet us where we are at by working confidently across Trusts and Foundations, statutory grants, corporate partnerships and traded services simultaneously. We are a small charity with 10 staff, so while we are looking for a decision-making and accountable leader, the postholder will be expected to support colleagues across the organisation. They will have a collaborateive spirit and the emotional intelligence to thrive in a small team.
The postholder will lead the Outreach team (CEO, Head of Outreach, and Fundraising and Communications Coordinator), ensuring we work efficiently and together. They will also model our values, actively promote our commitment to refugee leadership, and bring stability and leadership at a crucial time for our organisation's development. We are looking for someone humble and ambitious, motivated by our mission and confident in our ability to create a sustainable, full-service digital inclusion organisation for refugees and asylum seekers in the UK.

The Sutton Trust is the UK’s leading social mobility charity. We believe every young person should have a fair chance in life, regardless of their family’s income, the school they go to or where they grow up. But today in Britain, the opportunity to succeed is heavily shaped by socio-economic background. Our mission is to change this. Our programmes empower young people to access life-changing opportunities, and our research influences national change to deliver a fairer future.
Each year, together with our university and employer partners, we support over 14,000 young people to reach their potential through our university, apprenticeship and career access programmes. And our support doesn’t stop there. We engage our thriving alumni community to help them to succeed in their professions and to act as advocates for social mobility.
Our rigorous and extensive research shines a light on barriers to opportunity from the early years to the workplace, and we strive to influence national policy change with evidence-based solutions to tackle educational and workplace inequality. Using insights from our programmes and research, we also test and scale new ideas in education and employment practice.
As an independent charity, our work is entirely reliant on the generous support of our community of donors. The need to support our work to tackle Britain’s low social mobility has never been greater.

The Interim CEO will provide immediate, focused, time-bound leadership to drive through an extended period of organisational change, ensuring that Ubele’s existing strategy and transformation plans are implemented effectively, consistently, and at pace.
As Ubele has just produced a new 5 year strategy (April 2026 - March 2030) this is not a role to redefine strategy, but to deliver against it - bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to implementation across the organisation. The Interim CEO will focus on:
- Embedding systems, processes, and consistent ways of working
- Strengthening leadership accountability, line management, and performance oversight
- Improving organisational coordination, decision-making, and operational effectiveness
- Providing visible, steady leadership to support confidence and cohesion across teams
Working closely with the Advisory Board and Executive Chair, and Senior Leadership Team, the Interim CEO will support Ubele to move from a prolonged period of transition into a more stable, aligned, and effectively operating organisation.
Lead the implementation of Ubele’s strategy, ensuring it is clearly prioritised, understood, and translated into deliverable plans across the organisation.
Organisational stability and change delivery
- Drive delivery of Ubele’s transformation programme, ensuring that plans are implemented with clarity, pace, and discipline.
- Bring structure and coordination to change initiatives, ensuring clear ownership, timelines, and measurable outcomes.
- Identify and address delays, barriers, or areas of ambiguity, ensuring momentum is maintained.
- Support the organisation to move from a prolonged period of transition to a more stable and consistent operating environment.
- Ensure change is embedded into day-to-day practice, not remaining at the planning or design stage.

- Provide strong operational leadership across all areas of the organisation, including programmes, partnerships, consultancy, training, enterprise development, and community asset management.
- Ensure clarity of roles, responsibilities, and decision-making across the organisation.
- Line manage the Senior Leadership Team, holding them accountable for delivery, team management, and performance within their areas.
- Embed consistent performance management practices, including clear objectives, regular review, and timely intervention.
- Strengthen internal systems, processes, and ways of working to improve coordination, efficiency, and organisational effectiveness.
- Ensure policies and procedures are actively used, understood, and adhered to across teams.
- Oversee the development and use of high-quality data, reporting, and management information to support decision-making and track performance.
Governance & advisory board relations (CIC)
- Work closely with the Chair and Advisory Board to ensure strong and compliant CIC governance.
- Provide clear and timely reporting on organisational performance, finances, risk, and progress against strategic priorities.
- Support the Advisory Board to maintain effective oversight and fulfil its strategic and fiduciary responsibilities.
- Ensure appropriate governance structures and processes are in place and operating effectively.
Finance, risk & sustainability
- Provide oversight of financial performance, ensuring robust budgeting, forecasting, and financial controls are in place.
- Hold the Head of Finance accountable for financial accuracy, compliance, and reporting.
- Ensure clear visibility of financial position, risks, and sustainability planning.
- Work with the Advisory Board and SLT to support income diversification and long-term financial resilience.
Funding, partnerships & external relations
- Maintain and develop relationships with funders, commissioners, social investors, and strategic partners.
- Act as a credible and confident external representative for Ubele.
- Support the organisation to navigate a complex funding environment with clarity and focus.
- Ensure external partnerships align with organisational priorities and capacity.
Legal, regulatory & safeguarding compliance
- Maintain overall accountability for safeguarding, compliance, and organisational risk.
- Ensure appropriate systems, policies, and practices are in place and actively implemented.
- Hold SLT members accountable for compliance within their areas.
- Ensure regulatory requirements (CIC, employment law, contracts, data protection) are met.
Person Specification
We recognise this is an interim role with a specific organisational mandate. We are seeking a leader who can quickly assess, prioritise, and act, rather than someone looking to reshape the organisation over the long term.

- Experience stabilising organisations during or following periods of uncertainty or extended change.

- Ability to balance strategic oversight with close attention to operational detail.
Governance & organisational leadership
- Understanding of CIC governance, regulatory requirements, and Advisory Board relationships.
- Experience working closely with a Chair and Advisory Board on strategy, performance, and risk.

- Familiarity with safeguarding and quality assurance in community or social impact settings.
Additional Information
This is an interim leadership role with a clearly defined mandate to reinforce the organisations foundations, embed change, and strengthen operational effectiveness.
The focus of the role is on delivery rather than strategy development, and on ensuring that existing plans are implemented in a structured, consistent, and sustainable way.
As such, we are seeking someone who can work at pace, make decisions, and bring clarity and direction, while supporting the organisation through a period of transition.
A visible and consistent presence at Wolves Lane is essential to support leadership alignment, team cohesion, and organisational effectiveness.
This role involves responsibility for socially impactful and occasionally emotionally demanding work. A commitment to wellbeing, reflective leadership, and resilience is essential.
This job description may evolve as Ubele continues its organisational development.
