People policy officer jobs

Kaleidoscope Health and Care is looking for a chief executive to lead our consultancy business into its next decade.

Hello, we're Kaleidoscope. We are a consultancy of a different kind. We bring people together to create change that works, and over the past decade, we've helped hundreds of organisations do harder things than they thought possible. Our founder is moving on this summer and we’re looking for the person to lead our next chapter - someone who understands that how you build matters as much as what you build. We're employee-owned, and committed to being the kind of organisation we help others become. That's not a tagline. It shapes how we work every day.

A bit about the role

This is not a caretaker role. Over the past decade we’ve built something truly special: a kind, commercially serious, employee-owned consultancy that does exceptional work in health and care. 

This role combines strategic leadership of the organisation with hands-on responsibility for its commercial sustainability, culture, and external relationships. You'll work alongside a talented, committed team, in a self-managing organisation to build our consultancy business aligned to our purpose and values as an organisation.

The salary is £95,882 to £106,010. Our preference is for full-time, but we will consider part-time at 30+ hours / week.

A bit about you

You'll know health, care and the public sector. Not just as a sector to work in, but one you care about. You'll be comfortable with the commercial realities of running a consultancy - P&L, resource allocation, business development. And you'll have the kind of presence and credibility that makes clients want to work with you and colleagues want to follow you.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented in senior health and care leadership.

The application deadline is 8am on Friday, 12 June 2026.

Get in touch with us…

If you need any reasonable adjustments for the application process or have any specific questions.

There's a full candidate pack available, and an Ask Me Anything session at midday (12.00pm BST) on Thursday 21 May, open to anyone considering applying.

We’re seeking a talented individual who can tell our story and help secure vital funding from trusts and grant-makers.

Trusts and other grant-makers are an important source of funding for our charity. As we look ahead, we’re expanding our Trusts fundraising portfolio to meet the growing needs of our programmes. This is where you come in.

As our Trusts Fundraising Officer, you’ll be an inspiring storyteller whose enthusiasm for our work shines through in your writing.

Together, you’ll keep them engaged and informed about the positive impact they’re making on the young people we support.

The Trusts Fundraising Officer must be self-motivated, well organised, able to multi-task, have good administration skills and understand the “power of the outdoors”.  Paid or voluntary experience in a fundraising environment is essential.  This is a great opportunity for somebody looking to take the next step in their career, with plenty of scope to develop your skills and experience within a supportive team. Whilst the role is home-based you must live in the South West to ensure easy access for in-person meetings.

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. We work with them to build resilience, develop confidence and learn skills that will last a lifetime, helping them to face the challenges in their lives. Dedicated support, guidance and mentoring from our staff and volunteers ensures young people receive the maximum benefit from our long-term intervention. Our aim is to make a lasting improvement to the lives of vulnerable young people. All our services are provided completely free of charge to the young people who are nominated by schools and other youth organisations to take part.

You’ll be well-supported as part of a small fundraising team with a big heart, with plenty of opportunities to visit our programmes and see the tangible impact of your work. 

What We’re Looking For:

• Outstanding communication skills – You can write clearly, persuasively and passionately. You’re confident speaking to others about the charity’s work.

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

• Fundraising experience - You may not have written a grant application before but you should have some paid or voluntary experience in a fundraising capacity.

• Attention to detail – You take pride in your work, have a good eye for detail and a thorough approach.

• 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.

• Passion for the outdoors and youth development – You understand the importance of giving vulnerable young people outdoor experiences and are willing to put on your waterproofs and join in on our activities and camps to witness first-hand the difference the Youth Adventure Trust makes.

• 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.

Safer Recruitment

The suitability of all prospective employees will be assessed during the recruitment process in line with this commitment and in compliance with current employment legislation, and relevant safeguarding legislation and statutory guidance. 

Sheffield Community Bike Project is a not-for-profit community cycle repair workshop that aims to improve access to cycling through three main activities:

• Free (donations appreciated) access to tools and workshop space for DIY cycle repairs, with support from our volunteer team. This includes some sessions for specific groups.

• Offering affordable new and used parts, and refurbished second-hand bikes for sale.

• Focussed cycle maintenance training sessions to upskill our community.

The CEO will lead Sheffield Community Bike Project to successfully carry out its charitable aims, working closely with the Board of Trustees, Bike Project Manager and volunteers. This will include providing strategic leadership, building the organisation's long-term sustainability, securing the funding that enables our work, and supervision of any other paid staff. Please see the responsibilities for the role in the table below. 

SCBP is at a key moment of growth. Having taken on workshop premises in September 2024, we are now working to increase the number of sessions that we run, streamline our volunteer and participant experience, and expand the breadth of provision that we offer. This is a genuine opportunity to shape what SCBP becomes as an established institution - not just to maintain what exists. At the same time, as a grassroots charity, central to our ethos is nurturing a sense of community ownership and collaboration. We aim to make the project a friendly, welcoming place to volunteer for people of all backgrounds and experiences. Another key part of our culture is our “hands-on-tools” approach: participants are encouraged to “learn-by-doing” cycle maintenance themselves with help from our volunteers.

It is important that the CEO embodies our shared ethos of promoting and supporting access to participation in cycling, for the benefit of the Sheffield community and the protection of the environment. The CEO should also uphold SCBP’s values of shared responsibility and consensus building.

If you are unsure if the job as described would work for you, but believe you would excel in this role, we’d love to hear from you. We are looking for someone who can lead independently, build relationships, secure resources, and help SCBP grow - and we are open to discussion about how the role might work for the right candidate. 

We recognise that the set of responsibilities described below is ambitious for a part time role. There will be regular prioritisation of key responsibilities and resources with the Board of Trustees and in one to one supervision with the Chairs.

-

Key Responsibilities

Strategic leadership and organisational development - setting and driving long and short term strategy in partnership with the Board of Trustees, and building SCBP's capacity as an established institution. 

Financial sustainability and fundraising - securing the income that enables SCBP's work, including grant applications, donor engagement, and earned income development. Overseeing financial strategy and ensuring the organisation lives within its means. 

Line management of the Bike Project Manager and any other paid staff - providing regular supervision, support and accountability, and ensuring operational delivery is on track. 

External representation and partnerships - acting as a public-facing spokesperson for the charity, building relationships with funders, partners, statutory bodies and the wider community. Enabling others to take this role where beneficial.

Internal leadership and culture - nurturing a positive, inclusive organisational culture across staff, volunteers and trustees, consistent with SCBP's values.

Governance and compliance - working with trustees to meet SCBP's legal obligations as a charity, retailer, premises leaseholder and public-facing organisation. Overseeing development and periodic reviews of charity policies. Carrying out incident review processes where appropriate.

Any other reasonable duties that come up to ensure the smooth running of the project - including responding to emergencies.

Do you have fundraising experience and a passion for project management? Do you want to play a key role in helping supporters feel valued while enabling sustainable growth in individual giving? Join BMS World Mission as our Fundraising Officer.

As the Fundraising Officer, you’ll be part of the Individual Giving team delivering inspiring fundraising activity. From project managing quarterly direct mail appeals to shaping compelling supporter journeys, your work will help people engage generously with BMS’ mission. You’ll collaborate closely with communications colleagues to produce impactful fundraising materials, plan supporter events, and ensure excellent, personalised thanking that reflects our commitment to outstanding supporter care.

You’ll monitor performance, learn from data, and apply insights to continually improve our approach. If you enjoy juggling projects, working collaboratively, and combining creativity with analysis this role is ideal for you.
