We're thrilled to be partnering with Christian charity Young Life International, a charity that believes in the power and potential of young people and helps them find hope and purpose. Their work begins with caring adults who meet young people right where they are, offering genuine friendship, a listening ear, and a heart for what really matters to them. By showing up with consistency, kindness and unconditional support, Young Life leaders help young people discover that their lives are full of worth, meaning and purpose. With fun, adventure, and authentic relationships, they create safe spaces where hope can take root. Through these trusted relationships, they gently earn the opportunity to share with young people the life-changing message of God’s love for them.
Young Life has been working with young people in communities across the UK and Ireland, and over the past five years, the London Team has grown from a few staff serving one borough to 12 staff and 63 volunteer leaders supporting over 1,000 young people across 11 boroughs.
We are seeking a passionate London Director of Development to build and develop meaningful relationships, initially with London-based high-net-worth individuals, securing significant funding to grow Young Life International's impact on young people in London and beyond.

You'll cultivate relationships with high-net-worth individuals and major trusts, represent Young Life in high-level meetings and networking events, and plan impactful vision events to inspire and engage supporters. Working collaboratively with senior management and fundraising colleagues, you'll connect donor interests with different aspects of Young Life's mission, inviting supporters to experience first-hand the life-changing work being done. You'll also lead on securing grants from key UK trusts and oversee an effective stewardship process to retain and grow donor support.
With the potential for wider influence across the UK and Europe, you'll lead by example in donor stewardship, train the wider team, and play a key role in expanding Young Life International's philanthropy efforts.
The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:
- Proven ability to build strong relationships with major donors and secure funding in the range of £10,000+
- Experience in securing multi-year funding from trusts, foundations, and institutional donors
- Ability to organise and deliver high-quality vision events to enable prospects to hear the case for support
- Leadership experience, capable of managing a high-performing team
This is a unique opportunity for a practicing Christian to combine strategic fundraising expertise with a passion for youth mission. You'll be part of a team that believes every young person deserves to be safe, loved and supported, helping young people in London discover hope and purpose through Jesus.

About us
Foxglove is a non-profit that exists to make the use of technology fair for all. When Big Tech companies abuse their power, their workers or the planet – and when governments use technology to oppress, exclude or discriminate – we litigate and campaign to fix it.
Big Tech companies have become so large – gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data – that they’re now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere – threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers’ rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Big Tech and AI data centres are rapidly expanding, resulting in huge strain on energy and water supplies. Worldwide governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI.
Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We have a strong track record. We’ve launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech’s harmful business models, supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama – winning world-first judgements. We're urging competition regulators worldwide to stop Google’s theft of independent news. We’ve filed the UK’s first legal challenge to a data centre permission decision over the government’s failure to properly assess their environmental impact. We’ve forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm, helped make grading fair for UK A level students, forced the government to pause the NHS Data Grab and challenged the Department of Work and Pension’s use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations.
We are a small but growing team of lawyers, communications experts, and campaigners. Our work is global, and we work in partnership with lawyers, civil society, unions, and people impacted by Big Tech.

Use your leadership excellence to shape the development of a Bristol-based charity serving homeless and vulnerable clients.
We are seeking an exceptional leader who brings experience of supporting organisational growth and excellence.
InHope helps people in Bristol overcome the insecurities of homelessness, hunger, addiction, and poor mental health. Working in partnership with individuals, churches, community groups and companies our vision is of communities where everybody can reach their God-given potential free from injustice and insecurity.
As the largest city in the South-West, Bristol has always had a challenge with rough sleeping, particularly amongst women. In recent years the need for our services has risen with acutely increasing rents and food prices.
This has led us to a thorough redesign of the way inHope functions. Instead of being organised by venue, since April 2025 we have been organised by the services we offer to clients through all of our venues. These cover provisions, shelter, client pathways and housing. The restructure is enabling us to provide better, more joined up services and for our clients, to not only meet their immediate needs, but to help them reach their God-given potential.
As Chief Executive you will lead our efforts to realise our vision, embedding the new structure, provide leadership to our skilled and proactive staff team of 40 and nearly 400 volunteers, and shape the development of our next five-year plan.
If you enjoy working in a dynamic and passionate organisation and are attracted to the challenge of working with highly committed staff, serving people with complex needs in a faith context, we would love to hear from you.
For more information please see the job pack attached. Closing date 10th November.
