The Organisation
The CSJ Foundation was born out of the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) an independent think tank, established in 2004 that studies the root causes of Britain’s social problems and seeks to address these through innovative policy recommendations to government. The CSJ has changed the landscape of our political conversation by putting social justice at the heart of British politics. This has led to some of the biggest welfare reforms in a generation. The CSJ Foundation is committed to ensuring the voices of grassroots charities are elevated to national decision makers. Our aim is to bring much-needed frontline experience into national policymaking. Utilising local networks and a philanthropic platform to guide investment, the CSJ Foundation will ensure that charities who are fighting the root causes of poverty receive the right support – both in policymaking and funding. The CSJ Foundation was established to magnify and amplify the crucial role played by grassroots charities and social enterprises around the country.

Using Anonymous Recruitment
This organisation is using Anonymous Recruitment to reduce bias in the first stages of the hiring process. Submit your application as normal and our system will anonymise it for you. Your personal information will be hidden until the recruiter contacts you.
Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
This academic year, we will be expanding our work significantly, supporting close to 3,000 young people from Cornwall to Northumberland. The majority of this growth will be through a one-year project we are running in partnership with the Education Endowment Foundation.
This project is a randomised control trial (RCT) of our Peer to Peer coaching programme, where we will be working with an additional 50 new secondary schools. We have seen consistently strong impact from this programme on the attainment, social & emotional development, and school attendance of disadvantaged young people for many years. This EEF supported RCT now gives us the opportunity to test this impact at significant scale, specifically on the maths attainment, maths self-efficacy, and school attendance of disadvantaged Y10 and Y7 pupils.
To support with the delivery of this work, we are looking to recruit a part time (2-3 days per week) Programme Manager based in Cornwall, to start as soon as possible, and deliver programmes through to July 2026. We welcome applications from candidates seeking either a fixed-term or freelance contract, depending on individual circumstances.
You will have end-to-end ownership of your own allocation of programmes, which may involve a mixture of Peer to Peer, Core and LifeCycle programmes. Whilst delivering our programmes you will be required to build excellent relationships with our school and university partners, support with training and developing our undergraduate volunteers, use our evaluation frameworks to assess impact, and lead on conversations related to retention and expansion.
Candidates will be required to travel to secondary schools across Cornwall, with occasional trips to Plymouth and other locations in the South West. Access to a car will be required. At times team members may be asked to travel to a location outside of their region, but this will be rare and sufficient notice and TOIL will be given where appropriate.
The majority of direct delivery in schools will begin in November.
Whilst there is the potential for a permanent role beyond the length of this project, this will be based on our levels of school retention and business development, and so cannot be guaranteed.
You will flourish in this role if you have a genuine passion and ‘knack’ for working with young people and supporting them to succeed, as well as being organised, motivated, and able to think on your feet quickly. If that sounds like you, please get in touch!
Role details Managing and delivering programmes

● Experience with young people. Comfortable running a session or delivering a workshop with a group of young people from age 8-18. (Please note, the vast majority of our programmes are at secondary phase).

About the role
We are recruiting for a Head of Supporter Experience and Optimisation to join on a permanent contract. This is newly created role and will be home-based, working full-time, 35 hours per week, with occasional travel required for team and stakeholder meetings and events.
The last few years have seen unprecedented growth in the public profile of dementia, driven in part by the growing size, impact and ambition of Alzheimer’s Society - the UK’s leading dementia charity. We now need to ensure that everyone who needs dementia support today can access it, while improving our ability to attract, engage and retain the donors, volunteers and campaigners who so generously give money, time and voice to deliver enduring change.
As Head of Supporter Experience and Optimisation you will lead the strategic alignment and continuous improvement of how we deliver for our supporters (donors, campaigners, volunteers), transforming how we work across the Income and Engagement directorate. You will bring together our critical enabling functions focused on performance, planning and reporting; supporter experience delivery and improvement; administration and people development. We are looking for you to drive a joined-up approach to transformation that enhances both internal effectiveness and external impact.
You’ll champion a seamless, meaningful supporter journey, ensuring every interaction reflects our values and strengthens engagement, with a clear focus on improving the end-to-end supporter experience. You’ll embed a culture of insight-led decision making, collaboration, accountability, operational excellence and learning, ensuring our people are empowered to thrive and deliver their best to help end the devastation of dementia.
At all times, you’ll act as a passionate, articulate champion of the importance of our supporter’s experience. You will be a key stakeholder and build strong relationships across the Society, ensuring processes, systems and tools are developed with the ultimate goal of always improving the experience of all our supporters.
We have provisionally scheduled the first stage of interviews for this role to take place on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th December.
There will be a Q&A webinar for this role taking place on 18th November 4pm - 5pm where you will be able to anonymously ask questions about the role and team. To request an invitation to the webinar, please email [email protected]
About you
We are looking for a dynamic leader with exceptional people skills and a proven ability to inspire, motivate, and develop high performing teams.
Joining us, you’ll have experience in developing and implementing strategies spanning a variety of functions with variable short and long-term goals. You’ll have a deep understanding of the drivers behind supporter / customer loyalty to an organisation or cause with experience using data, insight, and experimentation to test and refine supporter / customer experiences.
Crucially, you’ll be able to adopt a holistic and collaborative approach, and you’ll have the project management and planning experience required to drive change, optimise processes and assess their impact across our directorate. You’ll embody our value of being ‘determined to make a difference’ with a proactive, adaptable and pragmatic, solutions-focused approach to making improvements. You’ll be able to build positive relationships, influence key stakeholders and use your communication and leadership skills to manage and motivate cross-functional teams.
You don’t need to have a background in the charity sector, and you may or may not have a connection to dementia. We welcome applications from anyone who feels they have relevant, transferrable skills that will enable you to succeed in this role. We hope the Society’s purpose and ambition resonates with you, and you’ll be motivated to help develop and optimise our processes and systems to ensure a brilliant experience for all our supporters.
What you’ll focus on:
- Developing and delivering a transformation roadmap for the Income and Engagement directorate that aligns with directorate and Society priorities, with a clear focus on improving all touch points of a supporter experience.
- Championing a supporter-first mindset across all teams, ensuring that every process and interaction is designed to enhance supporter satisfaction and loyalty.
- Using insight and feedback to identify opportunities for continuous improvement and innovation, driving a culture of marginal gains and agility across Income and Engagement.
- Overseeing the ongoing development, improvement and implementation of robust performance frameworks, enabling clear planning, tracking, and reporting of impact of activity across Income and Engagement.
- Building and fostering strong relationships across the Society to ensure alignment and buy-in for transformation initiatives that improve the supporters experience and our operational excellence.
- Fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and high-performing team culture that supports innovation and growth.

About Us
CleanupUK is a national charity that supports communities in tackling the problem of litter and strengthening community connections. We work directly with people in areas of need to help them clean up and care for their local environment through the creation and support of litter-picking hubs.
Why Join Us?
This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference for communities and the environment nationwide. You’ll be joining a friendly, flexible and supportive team that values your creativity and initiative at an exciting time, as we continue to grow our national reach and impact.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking an experienced and creative Communications and Marketing Manager to join us on a fixed-term basis to cover maternity leave. You’ll be passionate about driving positive change in communities and the environment, with strong skills in storytelling and creating engaging content across social media, web and campaigns. You’ll know how to bring a national charity’s voice to life in a way that connects with local communities.
You’ll be both strategic and hands-on, able to manage multiple projects and deadlines while adapting quickly to new opportunities and priorities. Organised and proactive, you’ll thrive working with diverse partners and stakeholders. Above all, you’ll share our commitment to community engagement, tackling inequality, and protecting the environment, using your skills to inspire and amplify voices.
About the Role
You’ll lead our communications and engagement efforts, helping to shape and deliver key campaigns and partnerships that sit at the heart of our work. From developing compelling marketing materials and managing digital content to promoting our litter-picking hubs and supporting national initiatives like our Summer Pick Me Up: Protect Our Waterways campaign and The Davina Awards, you’ll play a central role in telling our story and inspiring action.
Your work will be guided by our organisational objectives and annual communications work plan, with clear deliverables and milestones throughout the year. At the same time, you’ll need the flexibility and initiative to respond to the more reactive demands of the role — whether that’s capitalising on media opportunities, supporting partner activity, or responding to emerging issues and events.
A key part of the role will be developing and delivering engaging social media content that reflects our position as a national charity with a strong community focus — finding creative ways to connect our national voice with local stories, volunteers, and impact at a hyper-local level.
As our go-to person for communications, design, and content creation, you’ll bring a strong mix of digital, creative, and strategic skills, along with the confidence to manage multiple projects and relationships in a fast-paced environment. If you’re a skilled communicator with a flair for creativity and a passion for community engagement, tackling inequality, and protecting the environment, we’d love to hear from you.
