Role Purpose Statement

The Senior Officer, Active Fellows plays a key role in delivering high-quality support to Cara Fellows. This includes leading casework, coordinating Cara’s mentoring scheme to support Fellows’ placements, and contributing to strategic improvements across the Fellowship Programme. The role combines direct support to Fellows, operational oversight and delivery of casework, and collaborative leadership to support Cara to uphold its mission.

Organisational Background

The Council for At-Risk Academics is a UK-registered charity founded in 1933 under the leadership of William Beveridge, to rescue academics suffering persecution under the rise of Nazism and facilitate their continued work in safety. Sixteen Cara Fellows from the 1930s and 1940s became Nobel Laureates, and many more innovators in their fields, including, Nikolaus Pevsner, Lise Meitner and Karl Popper. A number of Cara’s founders and Council members also personally provided places and/or funds to help individual academics; and Cara, known in the 1930s as the AAC, later the SPSL, was closely involved in the successful effort in 1933 to bring to London the Warburg Institute art library, which had been prohibited by the Nazis, and six of its staff. The Fellowship Programme is the continuation of the rescue mission operation started in 1933.

Cara has been a lifeline to academics at risk for over 90 years, as and when world events have placed them in the line of fire: Hungarian Uprising, Cold War, Apartheid South Africa, Iran, Latin American Juntas, Vietnam, Kosovo, DRC, Rwanda, Sudan, Zimbabwe etc. and, more recently Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine. Cara support is typically framed as temporary sanctuary offered at times of heightened risk.

Cara Objectives ‘To assist academics who have been, or are, or are at risk of being, subject to discrimination, persecution, suffering or violence on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, to relieve needs among them and their dependants and ensure that their specialist knowledge and abilities can continue to be used for the benefit of the public.’

‘To advance education by supporting academics and their educational institutions in countries where their continuing work is at risk or compromised, to ensure that such academics and institutions can continue to fulfil their critical role as educators for the public benefit.’

This is a critical time to join our dedicated and friendly Fellowship Programme team as we expand our capacity to support at-risk academics from the Middle East, Sudan, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Russia and many other countries.

Help shape the future of youth gaming and gambling related harms prevention by becoming the new Chief Executive of Ygam, an evidence-led charity.

Location: Remote, with regular UK travel and occasional international travel
Contract: Permanent, full-time

Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Monday 13th October 2025.

About us

Ygam is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to preventing gaming and gambling harms among young people. Our work bridges the critical knowledge gap between young people’s digital lives and the adults who guide them. We believe in harm prevention through education, empowering the people who can make a real difference.

Through our award-winning portfolio of programmes and resources, we build awareness and resilience, helping young people thrive in the digital age. Inspired by lived experience and grounded in robust evidence, our City & Guilds-assured training is supported by a rich library of practical tools and insights. Our work has built a growing and passionate network of educators, parents, professionals and partners, including respected brands such as The Scouts, NSPCC, Barnados and The Children’s Society. Since launching in 2014, we’ve reached nearly 5 million children and young people and trained over 28,000 delegates. We are values-led, mission-driven and ambitious for change. As the landscape evolves and new risks emerge, we continue to lead the way in effective education, safeguarding and prevention.

About the role

This is a pivotal moment for Ygam. With significant policy changes underway, including the Online Safety Act, Ofcom’s Children’s Code and reforms to gambling legislation introducing a new statutory levy, we have a vital role to play in shaping this new era. As we enter the fourth year of our “Safeguarding our Digital Generation” strategy, we are seeking a visionary and collaborative Chief Executive to lead us through our next phase of growth and impact. This is an opportunity to build on strong foundations and guide a nationally respected charity through a changing, dynamic environment.

You’ll be responsible for shaping and delivering our long-term vision, ensuring that everything we do is aligned with our charitable mission. You’ll represent Ygam externally at the highest levels, developing meaningful partnerships across government, education, health and the third sector. You’ll also support a skilled and committed senior leadership team, creating a culture where people feel valued, trusted and motivated to do their best work. This role calls for confident public leadership alongside sound operational and financial oversight. You will be the visible face of Ygam, advocating for change while keeping us grounded in good governance, clear priorities and strong delivery. With your guidance, we’ll deepen our impact, evolve our programmes and continue to grow a resilient, inclusive and evidence-informed organisation.

What we are seeking

We are looking for a strategic and people-centred leader who can inspire trust, unlock potential and help shape a safer digital future for young people. You will bring experience of leading purpose-led organisations or initiatives, ideally with a national footprint. You’ll have a track record of translating strategic vision into meaningful impact, supported by strong operational judgement and a confident approach to financial oversight. You’ll know how to work effectively with a Board of Trustees, and how to build positive, long-term relationships with funders, partners and policymakers.

We’re especially interested in those who bring fresh thinking, clarity, and emotional intelligence to their leadership—people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions and push boundaries. Someone who can hold a steady line through complexity, communicate with authenticity and bring out the best in others. You don’t need to come from the gaming or gambling harms sector, but you will need to demonstrate a genuine commitment to our mission and a clear understanding of the social context we work in.

This is a unique opportunity to join a bold and forward-looking organisation at a time of significant opportunity. If you are driven by social purpose and ready to lead a values-led organisation making real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
