We tackle the three most difficult challenges that affect a young person’s ability to succeed in life in Britain today:
• Lost learning through absence, suspensions, exclusions from school.
• Stagnation in education attainment outcomes, which means many are missing out on key qualifications like GCSE English and maths.
• The large numbers of young people out of education, training and employment.

These are challenges that are faced by all young people, but they disproportionately affect young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

You would be joining a team that is passionate, rigorous, determined, creative and warm. We care deeply for our colleagues, our charity partners and the young people we serve.

Impetus is a registered charity and our charity number is 1152262.

About the role

Are you passionate about giving all young people the best chance in life? Are you a brilliant influencer and communicator who relishes harnessing great policy, research and communications to realise social change? Do you want to work in a pioneering charity with impact at its core?

Then this could be the role for you. At Impetus we are looking for our next Director of Public Affairs, someone who can inspire our brilliant Public Affairs team and spearhead our communications, policy and research work. This is an exciting senior role, joining our Senior Management Team and working alongside our CEO, board, donors, supporters, portfolio partners and the wider sector to effect real change for young people.

This is an exciting time to join Impetus. We are at an inflexion point, having welcomed a new CEO this year and implementing a new strategy focusing on strengthening and expanding our impact and influence. A big part of that is through our public affairs and communications work; whether influencing policy makers so that all young people regardless of background get the best possible chance to succeed, reducing the gaps in education and employment between young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and their better off peers, or working with government and other funders to prove and expand impactful programmes or communicating our findings, insights and message to a wider range of audiences.

The Director of Public Affairs will work with the CEO and Senior Management Team to raise our profile and influence policy, unlock and steward resource and build new partnerships, in order to facilitate growth in impact. They will do this by getting the most out of our high performing Public Affairs team, which covers policy, research, advocacy and communications - as well as working across teams and with the Board to ensure Impetus is well positioned externally.

We’re proud of the work we’ve achieved to date, developing a strong track record of high-quality research and insightful reports, significantly raising our profile through media relations and stakeholder engagement, building strong sector partnerships and coalitions to drive meaningful change, establishing a wide range of relationships across government and the sector and building strong expertise in the team. We’re delighted that you’re considering joining us to take forward this work to the next level.

Here are some examples of the types of work that the Public Affairs team delivers:
• Our monthly policy newsletter, Impetus Insights
• Our news and commentary and blogs
• Our latest research reports on school engagement, attainment and youth employment
• Our coalitions: The Youth Employment Group and Who is Losing Learning?

About St Elizabeth’s
 
Set in 60 acres of beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, St Elizabeth’s is a national charity supporting children, young people, and adults with complex needs — including epilepsy, autism, learning disabilities, and health conditions.
 
Our integrated site is home to a School, College, residential care, supported living, and on-site health services. Everything we do is underpinned by our values: Aspirational, Collaborative, Joyful, and Compassionate.
 
We’re now seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking estates leader to join our Executive Team and take responsibility for the future of our built environment — ensuring it supports our services today and scales to meet the needs of tomorrow.
 
About the Role
 
This is a strategic leadership opportunity to shape the future of a multi-disciplinary, regulated estate — across education, health, and social care.
 
As Director of Estates and Facilities, you will lead the long-term vision for our infrastructure, ensuring our spaces remain safe, futureproof, and aligned with the ambitions of a growing organisation. You’ll oversee major capital projects, environmental strategy, digital transformation of estates systems, and ongoing compliance across all services.
 
You’ll also consider how our estate can adapt and evolve to support growth — from off-site provision to new care models — and ensure we’re fully prepared for future regulation, climate impact, and service transformation.
 
Key Strategic Priorities
 
This is more than a property role — it’s about forward-thinking leadership across key areas:
 
Growth & Scalability

• Shape an estate strategy that supports future expansion into new geographies and service models.
• Plan infrastructure for offsite and outreach services in care and education.

 
Regulatory & Inspection Readiness

• Ensure robust, inspection-ready environments in line with CQC, Ofsted, HSE, and SEND standards.
• Build a culture of proactive compliance across all sites.

 
Digital Transformation

• Drive adoption of CAFM systems and smart building technologies.
• Use data to enable predictive maintenance, optimise space use, and enhance safety.

 
Sustainability & Net Zero

• Lead decarbonisation and retrofit initiatives aligned to net-zero goals.
• Secure external funding (e.g., Salix) to enable sustainable, future-facing development.

 
Risk & Resilience

• Develop estate-wide business continuity and emergency plans.
• Address risks posed by aging infrastructure, service disruption, and climate change.

 
Stakeholder Engagement

• Collaborate closely with service users, families, regulators, and commissioners.
• Ensure estate design and decisions reflect the needs of vulnerable individuals and inclusive practice.

 
What You’ll Bring
 
We’re looking for a standout leader who blends technical excellence with strategic vision and who’s ready to make a meaningful difference through place, design, and leadership.
 
Essential experience and qualities include:

• Proven experience in a senior estates or facilities leadership role
• A track record of delivering high-value capital projects and master planning across multi-site estates
• Strong understanding of compliance frameworks and regulated services (e.g. Ofsted, CQC, HSE)
• Passion for sustainability, digital innovation, and inclusive estate design
• Inspirational leadership with the ability to motivate multidisciplinary teams
• A proactive, collaborative mindset with excellent stakeholder engagement skills

 
Desirable: Professional qualifications (e.g. RICS, CIOB, IWFM) or experience in health, education, or social care settings.
 
Why Join Us?
 
This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a unique charity with a proud history and bold ambitions. You’ll be joining a values-driven Executive Team, leading one of our most critical functions at a time of real growth and innovation.
 
We offer:

• Annual leave: 30 days plus service-related increases
• Healthcare: Bupa private medical cover
• Pension: Generous contributory scheme
• Wellbeing: Employee assistance, free parking, subsidised meals, and a beautiful countryside campus
• Development: A culture that invests in leadership, professional growth, and continuous learning
• The opportunity to shape one of the UK’s most distinctive models of integrated education, care and health provision
