We want everyone to be in a good place - personally, in a home that’s a good place to live, and in a community that’s a good place to belong. We play our role by connecting and catalysing community-led change, providing the money, time, tools and connections that build organisations’ capacity and capability, to make people’s lives better and their communities stronger. We back people and communities across England and Wales, to make that happen, because when you back brilliant people, brilliant things happen. Our communities are full of ambitious, energetic and determined people stepping up to make their neighbours’ lives better and their communities grow stronger. Day in, day out. About the Role This is a leadership opportunity to shape how the Foundation designs, delivers and strengthens its programmes across England and Wales. As Head of Programme Design and Organisational Development, you will lead the Foundation’s approach to programme design, organisational development and volunteering, ensuring everything we do is high quality, evidence-informed and grounded in lived experience. You will set the standards, frameworks and tools that underpin programme design across the organisation, working closely with Programme Leads to design new programmes and strengthen existing ones. You will also lead our organisational development offer, ensuring charities and partners are supported to become stronger, more resilient and better connected. Alongside this, you will shape how volunteering contributes to our work, embedding it across programmes and ensuring it supports both community capacity and connection. You will work across teams and directorates to ensure programme design, organisational development and volunteering are fully aligned and working together to deliver meaningful community-led change. About You We’re looking for an experienced and credible leader with a strong background in programme or service design, ideally in complex or multi-partner environments. You will bring a deep understanding of how organisational development builds capacity and resilience, alongside experience of using evidence and insight to improve programmes and outcomes. You will be confident developing frameworks, standards and approaches that ensure quality and consistency, while also enabling innovation and learning. You will be a collaborative and relational leader, with strong partnership skills and the ability to work across internal teams and external organisations.
