Does every child have the right to "sparkle"? We think so.
At Thriving Through Recreation, we believe that equitable access to hobbies, sports, and the arts is a fundamental part of growing up. We work with children and young people navigating social, emotional, or educational difficulties, helping them find and fund the activities they love in their own communities.
We are looking for a proactive, empathetic, and highly organised Activities Support Co-Ordinator to join our team.
The Role
Working directly with our CEO, you will be the engine room of our Activities Support Programme. This is a primarily remote role, but because our heart is in the community, you must be based in Cambridgeshire to facilitate local connections and occasional travel within the county.
Your day-to-day will involve:
- Connecting: Triage and assess applications, building relationships with families and referring professionals to understand a child’s unique needs.
- Vetting: Conducting risk assessments and due diligence to ensure every activity provider we partner with meets our gold-standard safeguarding requirements.
- Facilitating: Managing the "matchmaking" process—finding the right club, negotiating payments, and tracking the budget.
- Evidencing: Collecting the stories and data that prove our impact, helping us grow and reach more young people.
Who You Are
You are someone who balances a big heart with a sharp eye for detail. You understand that "equity" means doing whatever it takes to level the playing field.
- Experienced: You have a background in social work, youth work, teaching, or a related field. You’ve worked with families facing disadvantage, and you know how to navigate complex family difficulties.
- Qualified: A degree or certification in Social Work, Youth Work, Education or a related field.
- Safeguarding Savvy: A deep understanding of safeguarding principles and child protection procedures.
- Independent: You’re comfortable leading frontline operations autonomously and can manage a budget with precision.
- A Multitasker: Ability to manage a budget, family case load and calendar without breaking a sweat.
- A Great Communicator: Whether you’re on a video call chatting with a parent and child about finger painting or liaising with a local activity provider, you can adjust your style to build rapport instantly.
- Local Knowledge: As a resident of Cambridgeshire, you’ll use your local insight to help expand our reach across the county.
Why Join Us?
- Be a Pioneer: You’ll be instrumental in shaping the future of a rapidly growing charity.
- Impact-Focused: You will see the direct results of your work as children gain confidence and thrive through recreational learning.
- Flexible & Inclusive: We offer remote working and value your unique journey. We encourage applications that evidence these requirements through paid or unpaid roles, as well as personal and professional experience.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a nationally recognised suicide prevention charity at a pivotal moment in its development. We are not looking to become bigger, but stronger — building the leadership, systems and sustainability needed to protect and grow our impact.
Olly’s Future is a charity born from lived experience, working to prevent young people losing their lives to suicide. Over the past five years, we have trained more than 10,000 people in suicide prevention and built trusted partnerships across healthcare, education and communities. We are part of national conversations on how to better support young people and intervene earlier.
We are now seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the organisation into its next phase.
This is a significant leadership role, responsible for the overall direction, performance and sustainability of the charity. The CEO will work closely with the Board of Trustees and in partnership with our Founder, ensuring that Olly’s Future remains values-led, well-governed and financially resilient, while continuing to deliver high-quality, compassionate work.
We are looking for someone who can:
- Lead strategically while maintaining a strong operational grip
- Build financial sustainability through a diverse income mix
- Develop and manage partnerships across sectors
- Ensure strong governance, safeguarding and risk management
- Lead with integrity, emotional intelligence and sound judgement
This is not about changing everything or making it your own. It is about building on strong foundations with confidence and care — strengthening what works, creating stability, and enabling the organisation to grow safely and sustainably.
The role is part-time (2.5 days per week) and offers the opportunity to shape a charity operating in a critical area of national importance, contributing meaningfully to suicide prevention across the UK.
If you are a thoughtful, values-led leader who can balance ambition with realism, and are motivated by the opportunity to lead an organisation where the work is both professional and deeply human, we would love to hear from you.
