Help shape the future of Cranstoun’s services
Cranstoun is a social justice and harm reduction charity supporting and empowering people to live healthier and safer lives. Each year, we support more than 45,000 people through services including substance use, criminal justice, domestic abuse, housing and services for children and young people.
Following a successful five-year strategy and significant growth, we remain ambitious about the difference we can make. As we enter our next phase, we are investing in the leadership and operational capability needed to support our continued development. We are now recruiting an Assistant Directors of Service to join our senior management team.
This is a significant senior leadership role offering the opportunity to lead substantial service portfolios while helping shape how Cranstoun’s services are led and delivered across the organisation.
The role
Reporting to the Director of Operations, you will lead a substantial portfolio of complex commissioned services and senior operational managers.
You will lead eight services with nine direct reports, spanning substance use and services for children and young people. You will have clear accountability for ensuring services are safe, effective and well-led, with strong contractual performance, financial sustainability and positive outcomes for the people and communities we support.
You will provide operational grip and evidence-based assurance, strengthen safeguarding and management accountability, build effective relationships with commissioners and partners, and ensure risks and underperformance are identified, escalated and addressed early.
You will also work collectively with fellow senior operational leaders to embed a One Cranstoun approach, strengthening common standards, sharing learning, developing leadership capability and improving quality and resilience across our services.
What you will be accountable for
As an Assistant Director, you will take senior operational accountability for:
- Safe, effective and well-led services – ensuring strong safeguarding, quality, operational risk management and service user outcomes.
- Contractual performance – ensuring services deliver against contractual requirements and KPIs, with strong commissioner relationships and timely action to address underperformance.
- Financial sustainability – maintaining strong financial oversight, effective workforce management and oversight of the sustainability of individual contracts.
- Evidence-based assurance – using reliable performance, quality, workforce and financial information to identify risks and drive improvement.
- Collective organisational leadership – working beyond individual portfolio boundaries to build consistent standards, stronger leadership and shared ways of working across Cranstoun.
You will lead and develop senior operational managers, set clear expectations and create a culture in which support and accountability operate together.
You will also lead and contribute to service mobilisation, transformation, workforce planning and continuous improvement.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for established senior operational leaders with substantial experience leading complex commissioned services and geographically dispersed teams.
You will bring a strong track record of:
- leading safe, high-quality services for people with complex needs;
- safeguarding, quality and operational risk management;
- contract and performance management;
- managing significant service budgets and improving financial performance;
- building effective relationships with commissioners, regulators and strategic partners;
- leading service improvement, mobilisation and organisational change;
- developing senior operational managers and addressing underperformance; and
- using performance, quality, workforce and financial information to provide assurance and drive improvement.
You will need to combine strategic leadership with operational pragmatism, understanding the detail when necessary while maintaining oversight of performance, risk, quality and sustainability across a complex portfolio.
Above all, we are looking for collaborative, credible and values-led leaders who can support and challenge in equal measure, build leadership capability and bring people together around common standards and organisational priorities.
Specialist experience
For this role, significant senior leadership experience within substance use services is essential, including experience of leading CQC-regulated provision and maintaining high standards of quality, safety and regulatory compliance.
You will also need a strong understanding of safeguarding and the governance required to deliver safe and effective services for children and young people. Direct operational experience of Children & Young People services would be valuable, but we are equally interested in candidates who can demonstrate strong safeguarding and CYP governance experience alongside substantial substance use leadership.
This permanent appointment offers the opportunity to provide long-term leadership to a significant portfolio and help shape the future development of Cranstoun’s services.
Be part of Cranstoun’s next chapter
Our successful five-year strategy has seen Cranstoun grow considerably, extending our reach and the range of services we provide. We remain ambitious and innovative, committed to developing services that respond to the changing needs of people and communities.
As we look to the future, we are investing in the leadership, operational capability and organisational infrastructure needed to support our continued development, strengthening operational governance, consistency and assurance across our services.
This role offers the opportunity to do more than manage established portfolios. You will help shape the future of our services and build an Operations Directorate characterised by high standards, clear accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.

Now we’re entering an exciting period of growth and digital transformation and we’re looking for an experienced Senior Web Developer & Product Lead to help us take the next big step.
The opportunity
You’ll lead the development and launch of a significant new digital platform, taking an established vision and turning it into a high-quality experience for our users.
This is a hands-on development role with genuine product ownership. You’ll write code, solve technical problems and make architecture decisions, while working closely with marketing and programme delivery colleagues to understand user needs, shape priorities and own the product roadmap.
As part of a small charity, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible difference, but you’ll also need to be pragmatic and resourceful. You’ll work within real-world budget and capacity constraints, finding proportionate solutions, making smart trade-offs and focusing resources where they can have the greatest impact.
You’ll also help us build for the future by establishing the technical foundations, documentation and ways of working that enable JFF to confidently own and develop the product beyond this 12-month role.
What you’ll bring
We’re looking for someone who combines strong hands-on web development skills with excellent product understanding. You’ll bring:
· Significant experience building and maintaining WordPress websites or digital products.
· Strong front-end skills alongside back-end development experience.
· Experience developing WordPress beyond standard configuration, including custom functionality and integrations.
· Experience with APIs and data flows between digital systems.
· Experience taking a substantial digital product or feature from requirements through to launch.
· Strong product thinking and the ability to balance user value, organisational needs and technical feasibility.
· A good understanding of accessibility, security, performance and maintainable development.
· Comfort using AI-assisted development tools and workflows to support faster, higher-quality delivery, with appropriate judgement around quality, security and maintainability.
· The ability to communicate technical decisions clearly to non-technical colleagues.
Experience with Salesforce integrations, agentic coding tools, analytics, user research or usability testing would be an advantage. Charity or education experience is welcome, but not essential.
You’ll enjoy building things, solving problems and taking ownership. You’ll be pragmatic and resourceful, comfortable making good decisions with limited budgets and capacity, and motivated by the opportunity to see the difference your work can make in a small, purpose-driven charity.

Director – Jamma Wellbeing
Build the model. Prove the impact. Scale through partners.
Jamma Wellbeing is looking for an exceptional Director to lead the organisation through its next stage of development.
This is an opportunity for an experienced, entrepreneurial leader to bring their judgement, experience and vision to work closely with a passionate Founder and Board to shape the future of an ambitious wellbeing charity.
Jamma Wellbeing exists to empower people so they can navigate life with greater confidence and choice. At the heart of our work is Brain Smart®, a practical wellbeing education framework that makes complex psychological ideas understandable and useful. Brain Smart is already being delivered through partnerships in prisons, schools, communities and workplaces.
We now want to build on that foundation.
The opportunity is to help build and deliver Jamma Wellbeing’s future model: delivering a sharper strategy, developing a strong operating model, building the right partnerships and creating a sustainable route to greater impact.
For the right person, this is much more than a conventional charity Director role. It is a chance to help build an organisation capable of changing how practical wellbeing education is delivered — taking useful, evidence-informed ideas to more people through trusted partners.
The role
The Director will lead Jamma Wellbeing from its current stage into a focused, sustainable and scalable organisation.
You will work closely with the Founder and team, while having real responsibility for translating ambition into delivery.
Key priorities will include:
- turning Jamma's strategy into a clear and executable plan;
- developing Brain Smart and its supporting infrastructure into a compelling, partner-ready proposition;
- building and leading high-quality partnerships across primarily education, public services, communities and other relevant sectors;
- establishing a sustainable income model, including licensing, partnerships, grants and public-sector opportunities;
- personally leading important early partner relationships and negotiations;
- building a small, capable team and network of specialist support;
- strengthening the systems required for safeguarding, quality assurance, accreditation, evaluation and reporting;
- creating clear measures of impact and using evidence to determine where Jamma should invest, adapt, expand or stop; and
- representing Jamma credibly with partners, funders, commissioners and other senior stakeholders.
Commercial responsibility is an important part of the role. We want to increase Jamma's reach and impact, but to do so in a way that is financially sustainable and protects the quality, integrity and safety of the programme.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for a builder.
Someone who is energised by creating something that does not yet fully exist, who can see the big picture but is equally comfortable turning ideas into plans, decisions, partnerships and measurable results.
You are likely to bring:
- significant senior leadership experience in an organisation that has grown, transformed or developed a new operating model;
- a strong track record of turning strategy into delivery;
- experience developing significant partnerships and generating revenue;
- strong commercial judgement, including propositions, contracts, financial management and senior-level negotiation;
- experience building teams, systems or capabilities in an evolving organisation;
- confidence working with Boards and senior stakeholders;
- strong financial literacy and a disciplined approach to priorities, investment and performance; and
- a well-developed network across the UK, including relationships across the private, public and/or philanthropic sectors.
Experience in education, youth, health and wellbeing, charities, social enterprise or public-sector commissioning would be valuable, but we are equally interested in strong leaders from outside the traditional charity sector who are attracted by the opportunity to apply their experience to social impact.
Experience of licensing, accreditation, train-the-trainer or another partner-led scaling model would also be an advantage.
The kind of leader who will thrive here
You will be commercially astute but purpose-led; ambitious but pragmatic; collaborative but prepared to make decisions.
You will be comfortable working in an organisation where not everything is already established.
Most importantly, you will care about creating something useful and enduring — an organisation capable of improving wellbeing, particularly for young people, at meaningful scale without losing the simplicity, quality and humanity at the heart of its work.
About Jamma Wellbeing
Jamma Wellbeing is a registered charity with a simple vision:
A future where understanding and shaping your wellbeing is a basic life skill for everyone.
We work through trusted organisations and partners to bring practical wellbeing education to the people and communities they already serve.
Our emerging model is deliberately designed for scale: Jamma develops and improves the programme, materials, accreditation, safeguarding, quality and evaluation framework, while partners bring the audience, setting and trusted local delivery capability.
If you are excited by the opportunity to help shape an organisation, build a sustainable model and create meaningful impact at scale, we would like to hear from you.
Please apply with your CV and a covering letter (max 2 sides A4)
Interviews by video, will take place on the 16th, 17th or 18th September and if successful, a second in person interview will take place during the week commencing 5th October in Surrey.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
This role is home-based with regular travel required, usually to London.
Can you turn complex information into engaging digital content that drives reach and impact? Do you enjoy improving websites, increasing audience engagement and helping colleagues embrace digital-first ways of working? Are you equally comfortable working with web developers, creating accessible content for professional audiences, and using analytics to show what success looks like? If so, we'd love to hear from you!
About the role:
This is an exciting opportunity to join the dynamic, multi-disciplinary team at the Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse (CSA Centre), as we work to improve understanding of child sexual abuse and help make children safer.
As we approach our 10th anniversary year, we are looking for a talented and proactive Senior Digital Communications Officer to help us grow our online reach and influence our main audiences. You will be an experienced digital communicator who understands how to maximise the potential of digital channels to inform, educate and inspire others to take action.
As part of our brilliant Communications and Policy team, you'll help deliver both our communications and digital strategies, ensuring that the CSA Centre continues to provide high-quality, accessible and user-focused digital content as we drive greater awareness of our sector-leading research, practice tools, and digital support hubs for victims and survivors, among multi-agency professionals, the voluntary sector, and wider support services. You'll be our champion for digital-first communications, helping colleagues embrace new approaches, improve collaboration, and maximise the impact of their work.
You'll play a pivotal role in the ongoing development and improvement of our digital presence, working closely with external web contractors and internal colleagues to enhance user experience, accessibility and search performance. From managing website content to identifying opportunities for innovation, you'll ensure our digital channels and outputs reflect the quality of the CSA Centre's work.
We're looking for someone who can:
- Lead and champion digital-first communications, helping colleagues make the most of digital channels and opportunities.
- Manage and improve website content, governance and user experience, ensuring accessibility and quality standards are embedded throughout.
- Use SEO, analytics and audience insight to drive continuous improvement and demonstrate impact.
- Build effective relationships with stakeholders, contractors and colleagues, confidently advising, influencing and challenging where appropriate.
- Create engaging digital content and assets across websites, social media, email newsletters and other online platforms.
- Support the implementation of digital systems and tools, including SharePoint and OneDrive, to improve collaboration and information management.
- Balance competing priorities while maintaining high standards and delivering excellent results.
To succeed in this role, you'll bring digital communications experience, strong knowledge of content management systems such as WordPress or Drupal, and a good understanding of accessibility, user-centred content design and digital publishing best practice. You'll be equally comfortable working independently and collaboratively, using your judgement, creativity and expertise to help deliver meaningful outcomes.
Most importantly, you'll be motivated by the CSA Centre's mission and committed to helping us reach the people who can make a difference to children's lives.
CSA Centre roles are currently funded until 31 March 2027, in line with our current grant funding arrangements. This will be reviewed in late 2026, as future funding for the CSA Centre from 2027/28 onwards is confirmed.
Although this contract has a permanent status, please be aware that this post is subject to funding currently to 31 March 2027 and therefore should this funding not be extended further, you may be subject to a redundancy consultation or a TUPE arrangement.
We're here to help children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful – and have somewhere they feel they belong.
