This is an extraordinary opportunity to join Belong’s Senior Leadership Team as Director of Programmes, a pivotal role at the heart of our mission. You will lead the design, delivery, and impact of Belong’s programmes across England and Wales, ensuring they are strategic, inclusive, and evidence-based. Working closely with the CEO and senior colleagues, you will shape programme strategy, oversee complex portfolios, and drive systemic change that strengthens social cohesion nationwide.

As Director of Programmes, you will:

  • Lead strategic development and delivery of Belong’s place-based programmes, ensuring alignment with our mission and values.
  • Oversee programme design, implementation, evaluation, and learning to guarantee quality and measurable impact.
  • Line manage a talented team of Programme Leads and Coordinators, fostering a culture of collaboration and empowerment.
  • Apply systems thinking to understand the interconnected nature of community, policy, and service ecosystems.
  • Build and maintain high-level partnerships with funders, commissioners, local authorities, and community organisations.
  • Represent Belong at national forums, events, and networks, championing our work and influence.
  • Identify and pursue new opportunities for programme development and funding, supporting organisational growth.

This is a senior leadership position that combines strategic vision with hands-on delivery. You will play a key role in shaping Belong’s future and ensuring our programmes make a lasting difference to communities across the UK.

About You
We are seeking a visionary and experienced leader with:

  • Proven experience in leading complex programme portfolios and delivering impactful initiatives.
  • Strong strategic thinking and planning abilities, with a track record of shaping programme strategy.
  • Excellent leadership and line management skills, with the ability to inspire and develop teams.
  • Experience managing diverse stakeholders, from senior decision-makers to community partners.
  • Familiarity with systems change and participatory approaches.
  • Understanding of social cohesion, integration, and related social policy issues.
  • Strong communication and influencing skills, able to translate complex ideas into accessible messages.
  • Highly organised, diplomatic, and politically astute, with experience in income generation and bid development.

Desirable: Experience in areas such as Prevent, PCVE, community tensions, hate crime, or tackling misinformation.

Personal qualities matter too: we’re looking for someone passionate about improving cohesion and integration in the UK, collaborative and inclusive in their leadership style, and committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Why Join Us?
At Belong, you’ll be part of a dynamic, values-driven team united by a shared commitment to creating a more inclusive and connected society. We offer:

  • 30 days’ annual leave
  • Hybrid working (typically 3 days in the office)
  • Enhanced sick pay and family-friendly policies
  • Opportunities for professional development and growth

Salary: £65,000–£70,000
Location: UK-wide (regular travel across England and Wales)
Contract: Permanent, Full-time
Closing Date: 12 January 2026
