Strategic. People-focused. Ready to grow something that matters?

At Brighter Together, we believe in a UK where every older person has regular, meaningful connections with young children. Our award-winning intergenerational programme tackles isolation and improves wellbeing by bringing together two often-overlooked groups—older adults and early years children—through joyful, structured weekly sessions.

We’re on an ambitious growth journey, and we’re now looking for a Programme Lead to help shape the next phase of our impact.

Founded in 2020, we’ve delivered over 160 projects across London, with extraordinary results: 98% of older adults report improved emotional wellbeing, and 97% of children show significant development in social skills. With expert-designed sessions based on cognitive stimulation therapy and the EYFS framework, our model is evidence-led, highly engaging, and full of heart.

We’re a small, dynamic charity with a start-up mindset: agile, fast-moving, and ambitious. This is your chance to play a key leadership role in a high-impact social venture—and help build something that really matters.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading the strategic growth, sales and delivery of our intergenerational programme across London

• Building and maintaining partnerships with care homes, nurseries and local stakeholders

• Overseeing and supporting a team of Session Facilitators and volunteers

• Shaping our impact and evaluation approach and producing key data insights

• Playing a core leadership role in organisational strategy, systems, and communications

This job is for you if:

• You thrive in start-up environments—building, improving, adapting

• You love selling a impactful programme to potential partners

• You’re a natural people person with strong project and team management skills

• You have experience leading programmes or partnerships with social impact

• You’re strategic, solutions-focused, and love getting things done

• You believe in the power of human connection to transform lives

Key details:

• Contract: 12-month fixed term, with potential to become permanent (subject to funding)

• Location: Hybrid, with 2 days/week in our Twickenham office + travel across London

• Salary: £32,000 – £42,000 depending on experience

• Annual leave: 25 days + bank holidays

• Hours: Full-time, with flexible working options

How to apply:

Send us your CV, a 2-page supporting statement, and a short task (outlined in our recruitment pack).

First round interviews: w/c 23rd June | Final interviews: Friday 4th July

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and lived experiences. If you’re not sure you meet every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you.

• Job Title: Secretary
• Civil service pay grade equivalent: 6/7

• Post: Secondment (up to 24 months)
• Location: London / Hybrid
• Work pattern: Full time or part time (min. 3 days)
• Closing Date: 19 June 2025

This is a hugely exciting time for the Public Chairs’ Forum (PCF) and Association of Chief Executives (ACE) as we seek to assign someone to take up this national role and lead the Secretariat for the next two years.

The Secretary leads the Secretariat in driving membership and diversifying income sources for our two unique networks of public body leaders and ensuring members receive an outstanding membership experience. The Secretary will help us to celebrate our member’s achievements as part of our 20th anniversary in 2026/27.

If you are interested in building your skills and networks, and are motivated to influence change across public bodies, the role of Secretary could provide the perfect leadership development opportunity for you.

Supported by our ambitious and highly-respected boards, we’re growing our membership networks and partnership opportunities as we expand our offering and reach with our new annual programmes bringing insight, support and inspiration for executives and non-executives of UK public bodies.

You will work with some of the most prominent figures in UK public and civil service. You will bring experience of developing and shaping engagement with leadership, with the energy to continue to nurture and grow this organisation, bringing its diverse membership with you.

It’s likely that you’ll be familiar with public bodies, but that’s not what’s really important. If you’re experienced at shaping events and developing leadership programmes, perhaps you’re also creative, tenacious and entrepreneurial, then we’d love to hear from you.

If you’d like to apply for this post, please send your CV and a covering letter, describing in under 500 words how you meet each of the criteria listed in the job and person specification.

If you’re shortlisted, we will contact you via email to arrange a time for an interview. We expect to hold interviews Monday 30 June 2025.

Ascension Community Trust (ACT) is a much-loved community-based charity in Custom
House, Newham. We deliver Newham District Foodbank (a Trussell foodbank run by ACT
and two community partners), welfare benefits advice, immigration advice, ESOL classes,
work with adults with learning difficulties, as well as work with children, young people and
their families.

Our volunteers come from all walks of life, and their experience includes working with
corporate companies, students, school children, people with lived experience of poverty,
refugees, asylum seekers, and adults with learning difficulties. Our mission statement –
“Enabling the whole community to make the community whole” – means that we work with
all members of our community and promote integration.

We are looking for someone with good interpersonal skills, who can welcome and listen to
prospective volunteers to find out their interests, skills and goals and match them with the
right volunteering opportunity.

You will work two days a week with Newham District Foodbank strategic partners to mobilise
volunteers across our three delivery sites, and one day a week to support volunteer
involvement across the rest of ACT. You will need to be able to think outside the box to spot
opportunities – across all our projects – to invite volunteers to join in with our mission,
whether that’s regular volunteering, one-off projects or using their skills to help us with
strategy or communications.

You will also need to be methodical, making sure references are taken up and DBS-checks
are completed, as well as tracking and recording volunteers’ training. To make this easier
you will help us implement the ‘Assemble’ volunteer management software across Newham
District Foodbank’s three partners.
