About Future Talent

Founded in 2004 by the Duchess of Kent and Nicholas Robinson OBE, Future Talent exists to break down barriers, create opportunities, and harness the transformative power of music to change the lives of young musicians across the UK.

With over 4.2 million children living in poverty in the UK, too many gifted young musicians are held back by a lack of access and support. We envision a future where all musically talented children, regardless of background, are empowered to thrive.

Our work is made possible through the generosity of major donors, trusts & foundations, corporate partners and sponsors, and individual supporters, whose contributions and support make our programmes possible, creating vital opportunities for young musicians.

About the role

As CEO, you will provide strategic and operational leadership to ensure we can support more young musicians across the UK.

This is a hands-on, externally facing leadership role that combines fundraising, advocacy and organisational strategy. You’ll work closely with our committed Board of Trustees, expert Advisory Group and small, passionate staff team to:

• Lead high-value fundraising activity, strengthening and diversifying our income from major donors, trusts and foundations, and corporate partners
• Build partnerships across the music, education, funding and philanthropic sectors
• Increase the charity’s visibility and voice on a national level
• Lead a high-performing, inclusive team culture
• Ensure the charity’s long-term financial sustainability and operational resilience

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is ambitious and excited about the impact Future Talent can have, and who brings the strategic fundraising expertise, day-to-day energy and stakeholder management skills to make that ambition a reality.

Who we are looking for

We’re looking for a confident, collaborative and energetic leader with experience working in a small charity environment and a passion for supporting young people and driving social change.

You don’t need to have been a CEO before; this could be your first time stepping into the role. What matters is that you bring the right leadership experience, values and ambition to take Future Talent forward.

You will bring:

• Proven success in delivering significant fundraising results and income growth, particularly with major donors, trusts and foundations and/or corporate partners
• Strong relationship-building skills and experience representing an organisation externally, including to funders and philanthropic partners
• Strategic leadership experience, with the ability to lead organisational growth and change
• A people-centred leadership and management style that fosters inclusion, collaboration and high performance
• Financial and operational acumen

While your background could be in youth, arts, music, education, or another area of the charity sector, a personal interest or hobby in music would be a welcome bonus.

About Scripture Union  

You might have heard of us before if you're one of the 1.5 million+ who have attended one of our Christian holidays or missions over the years, or maybe you're one of the 40,000+ subscribers to have used our brilliant devotionals or been stirred by our exceptional bible resources. We've been at this for a fair few years... over 150 to be precise. Over this time, we’ve remained passionate about helping children and young people develop a vibrant faith in Jesus. As our name describes, the radical power of God's word has always been central to our approach.

We still do all the great stuff with resources and holidays, but in the last few years, we have sharpened our vision with a renewed focus to help the 95% of young people (primary and secondary school age) across the UK who have never stepped foot inside a church, to hear and respond to the good news of Jesus. We do this through equipping and resourcing the local church, training up volunteers from local churches (we call them ‘Faith Guides’) and collaborating with local and national partners across the UK to connect with children and young people and support them on a journey of exploring faith in a way that is relevant and meaningful.

In the last few years we’ve developed a brand new approach to how we do this, it’s deceptively simple and incredibly effective, we call it Revealing Jesus, and its making a massive difference, in the last couple of years we’ve trained up nearly 600 faith guides across 400+ churches all over the UK, collectively we’re seeing over 50,000 young people across the UK on a journey of exploring the Christian faith and responding to an invitation to become followers of Jesus. We have 24 staff organised into four regional mission teams, and alongside our local and national partners, we’re playing our part in a network of organisations that seeks to reach children and young people in every context, across every town and city across the whole of the UK. The journey ahead is significant, and we invite you to be a part of it! 

Since 2015, SU has had a dedicated Mission Through Sport team which contributes directly towards this outreach to the 95. We have recently developed some innovative new resources, aligned with the RJ framework, which the post holder will be involved in both delivering and equipping others to utilise. These include our flagship programme called Holy Ground which empowers churches to adopt a local sports space in their community to connect with the 95 in their context. Half Time is our brand new Explore-Respond resource which uses sports-themed videos and fun games to help the 95 to explore the life of Jesus by journeying through Mark’s Gospel. 

About Activate 

Activate is a sport and physical activity-based programme, formed in 2018, seeking to build community through wellbeing that invigorates faith.  Activate seeks to release God’s people to join in his mission through sport and physical activity in the areas surrounding Bushy Park. This includes gathering, encouraging and empowering local Christians involved in sports ministry, including expressions of chaplaincy and missional communities centred around sports clubs, centres, educational settings and gyms.  A number of local churches across denominations and Dioceses have been supporters of the project. 

In the past Activate has supported sports projects in local schools, an activity-based church service, wellbeing cafe sessions, exercise sessions for the elderly and youth activities.  The successful candidate will be involved in re-launching Activate’s mission after a break due to staff changes.

You’ll work out of the office of St Peter’s Church, West Molesey, benefiting from the support of a local parish-based team including clergy and youth workers. You’ll contribute your expertise in a variety of settings, ranging from urban and suburban to coastal and rural areas across the south. You’ll have a brilliant time getting acquainted with this rich tapestry of local and national partners. Across the south region, we currently work with 130 churches and have 150 faith guides. We’d like to see these numbers grow significantly over the next few years and believe that a vibrant sports ministry can contribute meaningfully to this.

Making The Leap is an innovative social justice charity that aims to make a big difference. From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be. To say that this is an exciting time for the organisation would be an understatement, as our incredible funders, donors, partners and supporters have given us the chance to move to the next level, and have further influence and delivery nationally.

The shared soul of the organisation is to be passionate about helping young people from less-advantaged backgrounds; build up other charities and community groups and want to partner with them or support them; want to work with businesses and organisations to get things done; and care deeply about addressing racial inequity.

The organisation has two pillars: Programmes – which is direct delivery to young people from less-advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds to raise their aspirations and increase their access to opportunities, and Leadership and Advocacy -  which covers the UK Social Mobility Awards; the Social Mobility Podcast, the Social Mobility List, our research function and a number of strands: core Making The Leap, your remit would be directly with the first three strands and  your team will be responsible for generating the income for core Making The Leap.
