About Black Thrive
Black Thrive Global (BTG) evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016. We exist to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people so that the thriving of Black communities is the norm.
Our guiding principle is that Black communities should be at the forefront of reimagining, redefining and co-creating a society where systemic racism and other oppressive systems have been dismantled so that they have fulfilling lives. We have two priorities – building a Black Thrive Research Institute and embedding race equity in systems change.
In September 2021 we launched our Thriving Futures Collective which has expanded the work of Black Thrive Lambeth and launched Black Thrive in Haringey and Birmingham, with Mind in Haringey and Catalyst4Change as our partners.
We have grown rapidly since 2021 and so still have a start-up culture and often deal with competing priorities at a fast pace. As such we are seeking team members who can be responsive to change, adapt seamlessly to evolving projects, uphold momentum in their work, and remain steadfast in their commitment to the broader organisational purpose.
Purpose of the role

The Thriving Futures workstream is undergoing a strategic shift, focusing on key areas identified during its three years of operation. This includes intentional co-learning, community feedback through Black Thrive Community Assemblies, development of community metrics, and refining our role and offerings as a backbone organisation.
The role entails managing the programme’s day to day activities, ensuring alignment with the programme's objectives and goals, procuring additional funding resources and managing a Project Officer. You can anticipate working with different combinations of Black Thrive locality workstreams. Your responsibilities will vary, encompassing project management, financial oversight, strategic development, communications activities, as well as engaging in learning, reflection activities and research.
The role also has responsibility for assisting in writing and delivering grant applications and bids to major funders to secure funding to support the work of the programme.
Duties and responsibilities
- Lead on the planning, execution and monitoring for delivering the Black Thrive Global Thriving Futures programme and other activities related to the achievement of the programme objectives and milestones.
-
Engage with and provide support to the Thriving Futures Collective partners (Lambeth, Haringey and Birmingham), staying informed about their activities and aligning initiatives with project requirements.
- Develop and deliver comprehensive project plans, schedules and budgets to ensure timely and efficient delivery of projects. While maintaining meticulous administrative and electronic systems to ensure the fulfilment of key project deliverables and dependencies, aligning with project goals and timelines.
-
Provide guidance, support and supervision to the Thriving Futures Project Officer responsible for supporting the programme’s operations.
- Develop and execute fundraising strategies to secure additional financial resources for the Thriving Futures programme. Explore opportunities to package programme initiatives for income generation.
- Oversee data collection, analysis and reporting and lead on collaboration with partners to develop methodologies for transforming community feedback into actionable metrics.
- Assess and enhance support structures provided by Black Thrive Global as a backbone organisation, determining the needs of localities and the available support resources available.
- Develop evidenced frameworks informed by locality learnings and research findings that contribute to creating nuanced models of race equity systems change.
- Identify and foster external collaboration opportunities and stay informed about relevant external projects, initiatives, research, policies and practices.
- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives, actively engaging in activities designed to enhance organisational learning and development.
- Collaborate with the Thriving Futures Collective partners to establish a comprehensive methodology for transforming community concerns gathered into actionable community metrics.
- Explore and establish meaningful and engaging content for internal and external blog posts and digital content across our communication channels to ensure effective communication of Thriving Futures work to relevant audiences.

- Oversee financial management and programme governance, including consolidating financial and narrative reporting across Black Thrive localities for dissemination to partners and stakeholders.
- Spend up to 10% of time supporting corporate business, such as strategy and administration.
