• Hybrid (London), 3 days a week in-person with the team at GoodWork HQ, Warren Street.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Programme Officer to join our team, taking ownership of programme delivery while also building the systems and structures that help our programmes grow. You’ll join as a senior member of our programmes team, taking a leadership role across our programme design and delivery, as well as contributing to the strategic direction of our work with young people. You’ll report to our Programme Manager.

This role will involve:

Programme Management

• You’ll take ownership of end-to-end delivery across multiple programmes, managing recruitment, onboarding and logistics.
• You’ll independently scope, plan and deliver programmes, setting clear milestones and flagging early where timelines or expectations need to shift.
• You’ll recruit, onboard and manage volunteers, ensuring we deliver a great volunteer experience and maximising impact for our young people.
• You’ll work with our Programme Manager to scope and deliver strategic projects across the programmes team, using data, feedback and learning to improve our programmes over time and looking for opportunities to strengthen our systems, processes and quality.

Programme Delivery

• You’ll provide 1:1 support to young people, checking in on their progress and goals, and offering advice, support and accountability throughout their journey.
• You’ll design and deliver training for young people, alongside information sessions and training for our corporate partners and volunteers. This will include taking ownership of specific content areas, and supporting more junior team members to build confidence and consistency in facilitation.
• You’ll uphold a rigorous approach to safeguarding, making sure the welfare of the young people we support is prioritised throughout our work.

Stakeholder Engagement

• You’ll lead stakeholder engagement at all levels, from scheduling volunteering days with corporate partners, to checking in with employer partners on how young people are progressing in their roles.
• You’ll support youth engagement and outreach activity where needed.

Team Contribution and Leadership

• You’ll line manage up to two members of the programmes team, holding regular check-ins, providing feedback, and supporting their goal-setting, development and retention.
• You’ll develop others through mentorship, guidance and feedback, particularly in areas where you have stronger knowledge or experience.
• You’ll support hiring, onboarding and training as the team grows.
• You’ll help shape the organisation for the future, sharing feedback and ideas, and researching, proposing and testing new approaches that support team and organisational learning.

What we're looking for

We’re especially interested in candidates with demonstrable experience owning programme delivery and managing others, alongside strengths in areas like curriculum development, volunteer management, or monitoring and evaluation. You don’t need to have worked in youth employment or the charity sector before, but a commitment to our mission and good understanding of the barriers to work faced by young people from low-income backgrounds is essential.

This is an experienced hire role, and we’re looking for someone with solid professional experience, including some prior experience managing or mentoring others, who can apply sound judgement and hold real ownership in a fast-moving environment. You don’t need to have a degree.

Programme ownership and delivery.

• You have a track record of independently planning and delivering a programme or project end-to-end, setting your own milestones and adapting when timelines or expectations shift.
• You’re comfortable managing multiple priorities at once, and delivering to a high standard in a fast-paced environment.

Line management and development of others.

• You’ve supported someone else’s development directly - through formal line management or informal mentoring - holding check-ins, giving constructive feedback, and helping them grow.
• You’re someone others can turn to when they need guidance, particularly in areas where you have stronger knowledge or experience.

Strategic thinking and problem solving.

• You can think creatively, spot where a system, process or piece of delivery isn’t working, and take the initiative to improve it.
• You respond positively when things don’t go to plan, and can manage both the day-to-day detail and the bigger picture.

Communication and facilitation.

• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with good attention to detail.
• You’re confident facilitating workshops and delivering training yourself, and able to help less experienced colleagues build their own confidence in the room.

Relationship building.

• You’re comfortable building relationships with a wide range of people, including partners and volunteers, and representing the organisation in a warm and professional way.
• You’re able to build trusting relationships with young people. You approach others with empathy, warmth and good judgement.

Resilience and a growth mindset.

• You can operate well in uncertainty, learn as you go, and stay motivated through challenges. Adaptability and perseverance are crucial to the success of the young people on our programme, and it’s important that our team models these behaviours too.

We work with a diverse group of young people from underserved communities. We encourage applications from candidates from minoritised ethnic backgrounds, and those who have lived experience relevant to our programme - particularly non-graduates and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

How we work 

We’re a small but fast-growing team. You’ll join our staff team (and office dog, Annie) working day-to-day in the business, but will also engage with young people, our funders and partners, our Board, and many of the amazing volunteers who help us deliver our programme.

We use Slack, Notion and Claude day-to-day to keep in touch and support our work across the team. Our team works together in-person at least three days a week at GoodWork HQ, our beautiful space on Warren Street in central London where we host events, deliver training and work with our community.

You’ll need to be able to attend occasional in-person events, including possible evening sessions for which time off in lieu will be given. You should also expect to attend regular in-person meetings with our London-based partners.

Life at GoodWork

Making GoodWork a great place to work is hugely important to us, and as a small charity we’re continuously working to improve our offer. For now, our team benefits from:

• Personal training budget to invest as you’d like, as well as access to more in-person and online training through our membership of London Youth and the Charity Learning Consortium
• Access to individual coaching to support professional development with qualified coaches, through our corporate partners
• Quarterly official team socials and ad hoc team social activities, recent highlights have included a team Iftar, pottery painting, a Monopoly Deal and Pizza Night and team crafting lunchtime

About Safe in Sussex

Safe in Sussex is a specialist domestic abuse charity helping its service users live free from abuse and fear. For almost 50 years, the organisation has provided refuge accommodation, community-based support and trauma-informed services across West Sussex. The charity operates within the wider Women's Aid network and remains committed to providing a safe space for those in need.

As the charity approaches its 50th anniversary and prepares for the retirement of its long-serving CEO, Safe in Sussex is entering an important new chapter. Financially stable, with strong local partnerships, the organisation is well positioned for its next phase of development and impact.

This is a chance to lead a respected organisation during a period of transition, helping to shape its future while building on a legacy of compassion, resilience and life-changing support.

As Chief Executive, you will provide strategic, compassionate and accountable leadership to the charity while working closely with staff, trustees, service users, partners, funders and commissioners.

You will:

• Shape the next organisational chapter
• Strengthen leadership capacity, support cultural evolution and create sustainable structures for the future.
• Ensure services remain safe, trauma-informed, survivor-centred and responsive to need.
• Oversee financial planning, income generation and long-term sustainability.
• Lead with empathy and accountability
• Represent the charity externally and strengthen relationships

About You

We are seeking a strong and values-led leader who combines emotional intelligence, strategic thinking and operational credibility.

Skills and Experience

• Senior leadership experience in a charity, public service or other values-led organisation
• Experience of leading organisational change, development or cultural transformation.
• Strong safeguarding, risk management and trauma-informed leadership knowledge.
• Financial leadership experience, including budgeting, planning and organisational sustainability.
• Understanding of income generation, commissioning, funding or fundraising.

Personal Attributes

• Deep commitment to the safety and empowerment of service users.
• Compassionate, resilient and emotionally intelligent.
• Able to balance empathy with challenge and accountability.
• Strategic, thoughtful and future-focused.
• A strong communicator with credibility across diverse audiences.
• Comfortable operating through complexity, ambiguity and change.
• Committed to visible, long-term leadership within West Sussex and the surrounding area.

You May Not Tick Every Box

If this opportunity excites you, but you are not sure that you meet every criterion, we would still love to hear from you. We are interested in your potential, experience, perspective and commitment to our mission, not simply a perfect match against a checklist.

Occupational Requirement

Policy has the power to change lives – do you have the engine to drive meaningful change forward?

Bring your policy expertise, political insight and energy to help MCR Pathways transform opportunities for young people across the UK.

We’re looking for a highly driven Senior UK Policy & Public Affairs Officer to help advance our mission to bridge the education, skills and opportunity gap through the transformative power of mentoring. You’ll monitor the political landscape, turn evidence and impact into compelling policy arguments, build influential relationships and identify opportunities to put mentoring at the heart of national and regional agendas.

From Westminster and Holyrood to local and combined authorities, you’ll help build the case for change, champion the Trusted Adult Guarantee and support MCR Pathways’ continued expansion across the UK.

The Role Experience

This is a hands-on policy and public affairs role that goes well beyond monitoring what’s happening in government. You’ll be immersed in the UK political and policy landscape, identifying opportunities to influence, developing policy briefings and submissions, mapping stakeholders and cultivating relationships with policymakers, parliamentarians, civil servants and strategic partners.

You’ll also be the operational engine behind senior leadership engagement. You’ll identify and progress opportunities, coordinate preparation, develop briefings, arrange meetings and drive follow-up – enabling our CEO, Development Director and other senior leaders to lead high-level engagement and representation with key policymakers and stakeholders.

Turn insight and lived experience into influence. Help make the power of mentoring a national priority.

What You’ll Bring:

• Policy & Public Affairs: Proven experience in policy, public affairs or parliamentary work, with a strong understanding of UK political systems and policy-making.

• Influencing & Relationships: The ability to map political landscapes, build strategic relationships and identify opportunities to influence policymakers and decision-makers.

• Evidence & Advocacy: Exceptional written and analytical skills, with the ability to turn complex evidence, impact data and operational experience into compelling policy arguments.

• Strategic & Operational Drive: A proactive approach, able to spot opportunities, coordinate activity and ensure high-quality preparation and follow-through for senior engagement.

• Collaboration & Purpose: A highly collaborative approach and genuine commitment to improving outcomes and opportunities for young people facing barriers to reaching their potential.
