Join Public Law Project as our interim CEO and lead us as we enter our new strategic phase, championing justice, fairness in state decision-making and upholding the rule of law.

About us

Public law is fundamental to a fair and inclusive society. At its best, it enables the state to confront and navigate challenging contexts and make well thought through decisions for us all. Where public bodies make decisions that are unlawful, irrational, unfair or contrary to human rights, public law is there to enable people to challenge those decisions and hold the state to account. 

For over 30 years, PLP has been at the forefront of public law in the UK to advance fairness in society. We have delivered impact through strategic litigation, ground-breaking research, and training for legal professionals, NGOs and public bodies. Our work includes challenging the government’s Rwanda immigration policy, contributing to the prorogation of Parliament case, supporting Windrush survivors, and scrutinising the use of automated decision-making and AI in public decision-making. We are values-led and highly collaborative, working in alliance with individuals and communities facing discrimination.

In the face of existential issues facing society, we have recently agreed a bolder strategic direction with a more aspirational vision than before. It is our intention that no matter the challenges in the years ahead, PLP will advance fairness in society through public law with determination, with authority and with others. This role will be essential to that journey.

About the role

Public Law Project (PLP) seeks an inspiring and experienced interim CEO - parental leave cover - to lead us through an exciting and pivotal period. With our new strategy launching in July 2025, we are looking for a collaborative and values-driven leader to turn vision into action, build our external profile, support a developing team, and drive sustainable funding growth. This is a critical 12-month appointment, offering the opportunity to lead one of the UK’s most respected legal charities through a period of dynamic transition.

You will guide PLP through a vital year of strategic delivery and internal consolidation. You’ll lead the rollout of our new strategy, embedding agility, accountability and purpose across the organisation, while strengthening our external profile through increased visibility and thought leadership. You’ll support a capable and committed senior team, many of them recently appointed, fostering cohesion, a strong team ethos and an inclusive, positive culture. You will also play a key role in fundraising, stewarding existing funders and identifying new opportunities to diversify and grow income.

Working closely with the Chair and Board, you’ll help ensure strong governance and deliver the stability and impact our mission requires. You’ll be supported by a values-led team and a forward-thinking board, united in their commitment to accountability, equity and justice.

What we are looking for

We’re seeking a senior leader with a proven record of translating strategic plans into operational delivery and measurable impact, leading and supporting teams through organisational growth or transition, and building strong external partnerships and raising organisational profile. You will have experience in supporting income generation and funder engagement, and of effectively working with trustees and senior stakeholders to ensure good governance and risk oversight.

A background in law or public law is not essential, but you must bring a clear appreciation of the issues and landscape in which we operate. Most importantly, you’ll bring a collaborative and empowering leadership style, a deep alignment with our values, and the ability to get the best from people during times of change.

Closing date for applications: By 9am, Monday 14th July 2025

Who are we?

Depaul International (DPI) oversees the Depaul Group, a group of charities that work across the world with a mission to stop homelessness and change the lives of those affected by it.

What’s the role about?

This is a great opportunity to join us as the new Chief Finance Officer. As the Depaul Group continues to experience growth and increases its impact, you’ll lead the effective financial and governance support provided by DPI to its subsidiaries. You’ll be the leading interface between the Senior Leadership Team and the Board of Trustees and other corporate bodies and subsidiaries. You’ll provide financial advice to the Group CEO, Board and other senior management colleagues, including modelling best practice in financial management, overseeing the financial management in the subsidiaries, setting financial standards for the group and providing support to enable the subsidiaries to meet those standards. You’ll also be leading and supporting the development of a new governance structure for the Group.

What will ideally support your success?

You’ll be a CCAB qualified accountant with experience of strategic financial leadership and management experience and the ability to solve complex problems. In addition, you’ll have experience of working with and advising a diverse range of boards and external stakeholders. It’s important that you also have experience of current financial reporting requirements and financial management practices, including consolidated financial reporting. Strong IT skills as well as an appreciation and understanding of key HR and ICT challenges in the charity sector are desirable.

Right now, millions of people across the UK are struggling to make ends meet. Whether it’s skipping meals, choosing between heating and rent, or facing unexpected expenses without a safety net — financial insecurity is a daily reality for far too many. At Turn2us, we’re here to change that. We support people in financial crisis to access the help they need and to build long-term financial security.

Every year, we reach millions through our practical tools like our Benefits Calculator and Grants Search, and we provide direct support through our Helpline and grant programmes. We work alongside people with lived experience of poverty to influence policy, shift public narratives, and tackle the root causes of financial insecurity.

Turn2us is serious about tackling financial insecurity both at scale and at its roots. We understand that the measurement and evaluation of our all of our work is absolutely vital to achieving this and helping people thrive. As Head of Impact and Evaluation, you will be responsible for maintaining and evolving frameworks that help all colleagues understand and enhance our impact. This role will support Team Heads and Directors in decisions about prioritising work and assessing innovations that advance our vision of financial security for all. You will also work closely with the Policy Team and external partners on research that deepens our understanding of poverty and financial insecurity, while leading a dedicated team to scale and replicate effective solutions.

We’re looking for someone who sees impact not as a back-office function but as a transformative enabler of our mission. Naturally we want you to bring deep technical expertise, but also empathy, curiosity, and the leadership skills to bring others with you. This role isn’t just about ticking boxes and meeting funder paperwork requirement. It’s about supporting innovation, making crucial decisions about where we focus our efforts, and unlocking the insights that help us deliver a more just and secure society.

We know that Turn2us will benefit from leaders with new perspectives and ways of thinking, so we’re actively encouraging broad interest from impactful leaders who bring transferable skills from a wide range of backgrounds- whether commercial, from civil society, government or education. But an ability and curiosity to learn is key, as is the confidence to acknowledge the things that you don’t know.

This is a genuinely exciting and critical role: for our staff, our partners, and most importantly, the people for whom our organisation exists. We are always eager to receive approaches from people with lived experience of financial insecurity. If you can demonstrate a clear commitment to our values and ethos, and a deep personal commitment to our vision, we’d love to hear from you.

Come and join us and be part of a mission to save lives and end economic abuse forever!

In 2024, a staggering 4.1 million UK women experienced economic abuse at the hands of their current or former partner. The rising cost of living has only exacerbated the devastated impact of this form of domestic abuse. 

Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA) is the only UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of economic abuse and transforming responses to it.

Since our founding in 2017, we’ve proudly campaigned successfully for the recognition of economic abuse in UK law and influenced wide-ranging systemic change to transform responses to it. We're now entering an ambitious new phase, and we’re seeking a dynamic, strategic and values-led Head of Income as part of the Senior Leadership Teamto help drive it forward.

This is a critical time for SEA. With a bold three-year strategy now in place, we’re looking for an experienced income-generation leader to oversee and diversify our income streams — across high-net-worth giving, corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations, and earned income through consultancy and training. As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, the Head of Income will play a vital role in shaping the future of the organisation and enabling us to scale our impact.

The Head of Income will lead a talented team, including our Senior Fundraising Manager (trusts and foundations) and Corporate Development Manager (strategic multi-stakeholder partnerships), and collaborate closely with our CEO, Trustees and earned income delivery teams (consultancy and training) whilst also being hands on in relationship development. Your approach will be collaborative, survivor-centred and driven by SEA’s values. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with strong experience in high-value fundraising and/or commercial income generation.

What we’re looking for in the Head of Income

• Proven success in income generation from high-net-worth individuals and/or corporate partners
• Strategic mindset with the ability to lead and grow multi-stream income
• Experience of working in a small, agile organisation and line-managing high-performing teams
• Experience of working at Senior Leadership Team level, or readiness to step into the role
• A confident communicator with strong relationship-building skills
• A commitment to SEA’s feminist ethos, values and mission
•  

What we offer the Head of Income

• 25 days annual leave + 5 wellbeing days + bank holidays
• Home-based and flexible working options
• Reflective practice and wellbeing support
• 5% employer pension contribution
• Enhanced family leave, carers leave, sick pay
• A dynamic, purpose-led team where your impact is tangible
