Access to higher education and the life-changing opportunities that come from attending the most competitive universities is not equal. 28 in 100 of the most advantaged students progress to the most competitive universities. In contrast, only 2 in 100 of the least advantaged young people access these universities.
We think this is fundamentally unfair. We work across the UK to support less advantaged students to access the most competitive universities, and to succeed when they get there.
Between 2021 and 2026, we will work with 100,000 students across the UK to help them to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to access the most competitive universities. We will also support 10,000 students from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed once they enter universities.
We hope that you’ll consider joining us, as we work to create a fairer society where no child’s education is limited by their background.

Charity People are proud to be partnering with the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, the UK's founding personal safety charity and leading authority on stalking, to recruit a Senior Services and Development Lead.

The team work hard so beneficiaries sleep better at night, families can reunite at the end of the working day, and victims of harassment and stalking can regain control of their situations.

- Work with the Director of Services to deliver an ambitious strategy which includes developing national hubs and accreditation services across the UK, as well as supporting in the roll out and delivery of core training packages across statutory and non-statutory services.
- Provide leadership and management to relevant managers and team leaders.
The Senior Service and Development Lead will be an ambitious, dynamic leader with strong senior operational experience. The successful candidate will need to think on their feet and work in a fast paced, ever-changing environment. You will have a successful track record in designing, developing and delivering a range of projects and services demonstrating strong project management skills, as well as significant experience offering strategic and operational direction to front line services. You will have a background in the violence against women and girls' sector and experience of working in domestic abuse, sexual violence and/or the criminal justice sector. The ideal candidate will have experience in safeguarding and case supervision.
You will have demonstrable experience in a senior managerial role, be confident setting targets and appraising performance and be an inspiring leader. You will be an excellent communicator with have a successful track record representing an organisation to senior external stakeholders, including government and the media, with strong influencing and negotiation skills with people at all levels. You will have experience developing briefings, producing reports and reporting to funders. You will understand the financial constraints of working in a small charity, and funding mechanisms within the sector, with proven ability to manage multiple complex budgets. You will be passionate about the area of violence against women and girls and want to play an integral part of its future.
This is an exciting time to be part of this organisation. If you are committed, ambitious, results-driven, and resilient and would like to hear more about this opportunity, we would be delighted to hear from you.
