We are proud to enable the work of colleagues across the university and its health partners, helping them serve society through world-leading education, research and healthcare. Our activity includes a partnership with the Maudsley Charity in support of children’s mental health and initiatives between the university’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience and the South London & Maudsley NHS Trust.  

We are entering an exciting period as a team. Our work is identified as a key enabler of the new King’s Strategy 2030, with associated ambitions that include preparing for our next major philanthropic and engagement campaign. This will accelerate and energise our work in support of the University’s mission to be ‘in service to society through academic excellence’ – be that through exceptional, impact-led research; ensuring our students are supported to thrive during their time at King’s and beyond; or by helping the university to invest over the long-term into its people, ideas and infrastructure. We plan to deepen and scale engagement with our global alumni community, donors and other supporters, mobilising them behind these shared priorities. We are strongly values-driven with a focus on sustaining a strong and supportive culture, which we see as key to creating a successful team that can realise these ambitions.

Make a real impact in South Kilburn!  The OK Club is hiring a CEO to manage and lead the organisation as we continue to develop our presence and impact in our neighbourhood.

Thanks to funding from John Lyon’s Charity, we’re looking for a visionary leader, who is motivated by their Christian faith and who can inspire and equip our team and work with us to develop and deliver our strategic development plan.  If you’re someone who loves young people and community, and is passionate about seeing people flourish, we want to hear from you! 

Started by students and graduates of Oxford University (hence the OK in our name - Oxford Kilburn) The OK Club has been providing activities for children and young people for the past 60 years and we have exciting plans for our next phase of development.

As well as continuing our programme of youth and children’s activities, over the last couple of years we have also expanded our provision to make the club building available to the wider community.  Taking an asset based approach, our Community Animator enabled us to open our doors and connect in a new way with our neighbours.

As CEO you will be responsible for overseeing three key areas -

1. our youth & children’s work,
2. our community engagement, and
3. our building.

Applicants will have proven experience of leadership in a charity or community context.  The ability to work positively with young people is essential, and experience of managing a building and budgets is also important.

Our funding from John Lyon is initially for three years but we anticipate that, with a brilliant new CEO our funding will grow to make the post sustainable.

The OK Club is located in South Kilburn, North West London.  We currently find ourselves in the middle of a building site (quite literally) and that our neighbourhood is changing drastically. Brent Council are continuing their massive regeneration project - demolishing all existing tower blocks and replacing them with new ones, with a greater number of housing units.  While much around us is changing, our desire to support children and young people with play and development opportunities is as strong as ever.

The OK Club currently has:

• A part time Youth Work Development Officer who oversees our youth work programme.

• A part time Building Manager.

• A part time Community Animator.

• A part time Children's Worker.

• Four interns (two full time and two  part time, shared with churches), usually from abroad on gap year schemes.

• Christian Holt House which can accommodate up to five further individuals who live as part of the missional community and are required as part of their tenancy to contribute to Club activities.

• A small but important number of volunteers are recruited from among parents and the community generally.  We are keen to grow this team, particularly with older young people and other members of the local community.

Our site contains the following facilities:

• A sports hall

• 3 x activity spaces

• A kitchen

• Garden

• Two upper floors which are currently rented out to other organisations.

We have been funded by Brent Council to renovate our Sports Hall and have ambitious plans for our whole site development in the coming years.

The work of the OK Club is overseen by a Management Committee (Trustees) who meet every two months, and the post will be Line Managed by one of the Trustees.

Inclusion & Diversity:

The OK Club strives to be a diverse and inclusive place where we can ALL be ourselves. We particularly encourage applications from people who identify as Black, Asian or from a Minority Ethnic background. 

Safer Recruitment:

The OK Club is a Safe Recruiter and will require all applicants to undergo a DBS disclosure as well as taking three references. A criminal record is not necessarily a bar to working for us but must be declared on application.

Timetable: (subject to amendment)

• Closing Date - 7th June 2026

• Shortlisting will take place in the following week and interviews will take place, week commencing 15th June.

The Charity

At the Youth Adventure Trust, we use outdoor adventure to empower vulnerable young people from Swindon, Wiltshire and Somerset to fulfil their potential and lead positive lives in the future.

• Writing experience – You have experience writing successful funding applications, proposals, or compelling articles, ideally but not necessarily with a  fundraising focus

• Creativity - able to put together eye-catching proposals, impact graphics and social media posts.

• Self-motivation and organisation – You’re able to manage your own time and prioritise effectively.

• Willingness to learn - if you think you have what it takes but don’t have lots of experience as a Trusts Fundraiser, this role comes with plenty of scope to develop your writing skills and gain experience within a supportive team environment.

The post is a new and integral role within Southwark Charities and will work collaboratively with the charity's Grants Manager, supporting the delivery of grant programmes to community organisations (and some individuals).

Location: Home-based (expectation of attendance at London office once a month) or hybrid working at London office (expectation of attendance of eight days in the London office per month); some travel across England may be required.

Help create safe, supportive spaces for people affected by someone else’s gambling, and play a key role in shaping an inclusive support service that reaches those who may otherwise struggle to access help.

If you offer experience of facilitating support groups or peer support spaces, particularly for people facing complex personal, social or health-related challenges, this is an exciting opportunity to join GamCare’s Affected Others Programme and help prevent and reduce gambling-related harm experienced by individuals affected by another person’s gambling.

The Role

As Service Officer for the Affected Others Programme, you’ll deliver online support spaces for people affected by someone else’s gambling, helping them feel heard, understood and able to access the right support. You’ll facilitate safe, non-clinical group sessions, carry out wellbeing and support needs assessments, identify and escalate any safeguarding or risk concerns, and help people connect with appropriate internal or external services where needed. The work will focus particularly on reaching groups who may face additional barriers to support, including men, young adults, neurodiverse people, LGBTQIA+ communities and people from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Alongside direct delivery, you’ll help shape and improve the service itself. Working closely with colleagues and people with lived experience, you’ll adapt content, develop accessible support journeys for users of the service, monitor participation and feedback, and use those insights to strengthen engagement and impact.

About You

You’ll bring experience of facilitating and shaping support spaces for specific groups, with the confidence to adapt resources and approaches according to the needs of the people taking part. Strong communication, organisation and project administration skills will be important, as you’ll be planning groups, managing logistics, keeping accurate records, monitoring engagement and working collaboratively with colleagues across GamCare. Experience of safeguarding principles is essential, particularly in relation to support services, peer support and co-production.

The role would suit someone who can deliver multiple support groups for diverse audiences, listen carefully to feedback and turn insight into practical service improvements. You’ll also need an understanding of health inequalities, including how they can affect people’s confidence, health literacy and the ability to seek help or advocate for themselves. A formal qualification is not essential, although training or experience in areas such as mental health, addictions, public health, health and social care, counselling, social work or peer support would be valuable.

About GamCare

Founded in 1997, GamCare is the leading provider of information, advice and support for anyone affected by gambling harms. We operate the National Gambling Helpline, provide treatment for anyone who is harmed by gambling, and create awareness about safer gambling and treatment.
