Policy executive jobs in jersey, trinity

Why this role matters:

Every day, millions of unpaid carers across the UK face immense challenges, often with little ecognition or support. At C r arers Trust, we believe robust, insightful evidence is essential to driving meaningful change for these carers – and that’s where you come in.

As our Research Manager, you won’t just be producing reports – you’ll be leading the charge in uncovering the real experiences of unpaid carers and identifying practical, transformative solutions to support them. This is a role that sits at the heart of our work: turning insight into influence, and evidence into action.

What you’ll do:

• Lead new research that explores the complexities of unpaid care, from the day-to-day realities carers face to the systems and services intended to support them.

• Work directly with carers and the organisations that serve them, ensuring our research is grounded, participatory, and genuinely reflective of real lives.

• Bridge the gap between academia, policy, and practice, using both rigorous academic methods and agile, think tank-style approaches to drive timely and impactful outputs.

• Shape the national conversation by presenting evidence to decision-makers, influencing policy debates, and helping Carers Trust lead the sector in what works – and what needs to change.

• Embed an evidence-driven culture across Carers Trust, working with colleagues across teams UK-wide to ensure insight guides everything we do.

Why now?

The challenges facing unpaid carers are growing – from navigating stretched health and social care systems to balancing work, wellbeing, and financial strain. At the same time, there's increasing recognition that carers are essential to the functioning of society and public services. This is a pivotal moment to influence the future of care – and we need a Research Manager who is passionate, curious, and committed to driving real change.

Who we’re looking for:

An experienced researcher with a talent for turning data into stories and findings into influence. Someone comfortable collaborating with academics, policymakers, service providers and – most importantly – carers themselves. A strategic thinker and a skilled communicator, who thrives on connecting the dots between evidence, lived experience, and innovation.

We recognise and celebrate the fact that our people come from diverse backgrounds. We positively welcome applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities or longstanding health conditions, people who are LGBTQ+, and people from different socio-economic and educational backgrounds, as well as people of all ages.

As a Disability Confident Employer, we take a proactive approach in making reasonable adjustments, if needed, throughout the recruitment process and during employment. (This can be related to a physical and mental health condition.)

We are the UK's only employment charity solely for women with convictions.

We’re led by our vision of a society in which no woman is held back by a conviction, and where she has the support, encouragement and opportunities she needs to reset her life and thrive. 

We work to create better informed and more empathetic attitudes about women with convictions and to raise awareness about the issues that often underlie women’s offending.  In short, we believe no woman should be held back by her past.
 

We’re looking for a new HR Lead to build on our existing policies and processes and take our inclusive and high performing culture to the next stage.  As HR Lead you will be integrated across the organisation, working at both strategic and operational levels to develop our people practices. You will have experience across the HR spectrum but will be especially skilled at coaching managers, undertaking employee relations case work, recruitment, developing organisational culture, and implementing equity, diversity and inclusion within HR practices. Your ability to building trusting relationships with a wide range of people set you apart, as will your passion for the work we do. 

You will join a friendly and supportive team who are passionate about what we do. In addition to a competitive salary we offer flexibility, generous holiday, time off for your birthday and wellbeing days. 

Flexibility

Our London-based staff operate on a hybrid model, working in our office within London South Bank University (one minute from Elephant and Castle tube station) on Mondays and Tuesdays (for full time staff – part-time staff are only required to work one of those days in the office) and at home for the rest of the week. We also have staff outside London who are fully home-based. We would like the HR Lead to work in the London office on either Monday or Tuesday (or both if preferred) but are flexible as to when in the week the remainder of the hours are worked, provided that there is a consistent working pattern each week.   We have specified the number of days for this role as 3-4, meaning a minimum of three and a maximum of four, depending on what the appointed candidate is able to offer on a consistent basis each week.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is able to instigate and
deliver meaningful change and can work across organisational and sector boundaries. You
will understand the value of social action in communities and the crucial and unique role
of infrastructure support in the voluntary and community sector.

Working with the Trustee Board and the whole staff and volunteer team, we’re looking for a
leader with vision and integrity who has the skills, experience and drive to take on
challenges, capitalize on opportunities and create a sustainable future for our unique
organisation. This will involve leading both VAL the charity, managing our trading
subsidiary, VALYOU, and providing strategic advocacy on behalf of the voluntary and
community sector in the city.
You’ll be resilient, adaptable, innovative and persuasive, with the ability to maintain,
develop and create new relationships with key strategic partners in Leeds and West
Yorkshire. Driven by our values and a solutions-focused approach, you will be able to take
and deliver difficult decisions that enable VAL to continue to thrive as a sustainable and
agile organisation in constantly changing times.

This opportunity comes at a time when the VCSE sector are under increasing pressure, but
when the value of social action within communities has never been more important. At
VAL we take a solutions-focused approach to working with people, communities and
organisations to effect meaningful change, as outlined in our 2023-26 Strategy. Leading the
review and update of our organisational strategy will be a key priority for our new Chief
Officer.

If our work and mission align with your values and experience – both personal and
professional – we want to hear from you. We particularly welcome and encourage
applications from candidates from culturally diverse communities who are currently not
represented within our senior management team.

We are looking for a CEO for our ambitious maths charity. Will you help us make life easier for teachers and more interesting for students?

About the charity 

Dr Frost Learning is an education charity that believes there should be no barriers to a student’s desire to learn. Our product, Dr Frost Maths, allows students to learn maths online whether independently or via their school. We also provide learning materials and resources to support teachers, so children can maximise their potential in mathematics in and out of the classroom.

Tens of thousands of teachers, and hundreds of thousands of students use our product every month. Over 1000 schools subscribe to our paid product which is subsidised by our generous funders and donors. As we enter our fourth year as a charity we have some key priorities:

- Continue to migrate from a reliance on philanthropic funding to a subscription model

- Deepen our offerings in maths to support more teachers and more students

- Increase our focus on schools which have either high levels of social deprivation or teachers who are not STEM trained

We need a leader who is going to help us deliver on those and work with us to decide what the future strategy should be.  We are positive about our future, keen to use the latest technologies to improve our offerings, and ambitious to meet the requirements of students and teachers in new and exciting ways.

Our name recognition is incredibly high. Our reach into schools, across the UK and beyond, is very strong. Our charitable status differentiates us from our competitors.

About the role

We are looking to appoint a CEO to lead our Charity. You will be working with a committed Board, alongside our founder and Chief Mathematician, Dr Jamie Frost, and with a staff team all dedicated to delivering a top class, online, maths education.

We have a lot of maths expertise, and our developers are excellent. What we need is someone who can lead the team, create a great working environment, and grow the business. So we need a proven leader who has an entrepreneurial mindset, perhaps with experience growing a start-up business, but definitely passionate about the transformational power of a good maths education.

Jamie Frost joins Board Meetings as an advisor. He has handed over all his intellectual property to the Charity. He much prefers creating teaching materials and going out into schools than managing staff and getting involved in the day to day running of things. He will report to the CEO.
