Business Jobs
User Voice exists to reduce reoffending and improve rehabilitation by working with those who are often not heard. One of the main ways that we do this is through our council model, which allows those currently in prison, or on licence, to have their say and contribute ideas and solutions to benefit everyone. We know that if people with convictions are motivated to give feedback on their experience of services, it fuels a culture of continuous improvement within the criminal justice system and gives people a sense of purpose.
The past year has been a period of change and reflection for User Voice. We have invested in our central operations and services, and we now have a solid platform for further growth and innovation for the coming years. We are now looking for a values-led individual who matches our ambition and who can lead our amazing organisation into the next phase of its journey.
As Chief Executive, you will have the opportunity to develop a new strategy that seeks to capitalise on the opportunities that are available to us, while ensuring that we have a diverse and sustainable, long-term funding model. When User Voice first began, lived experience was on the periphery of the criminal justice sector. Now, there are numerous organisations that utilise lived experience in their practice. However, they do not do so to the extent that we do. As our new Chief Executive, you must be energised to push User Voice to where it belongs – the forefront of the sector.
We are looking for a leader who has a genuine desire to see real change for individuals, institutions and the criminal justice system as a whole. You will bring sharp strategic thinking and an enterprising mindset, with the ability to spot new opportunities for us to have an even greater impact, combined with an authentic and inspiring management style that brings the whole team with you on that journey. A natural ambassador and external advocate, you will also be enthusiastic about partnerships and able to ensure that User Voice, as a small charity, has a powerful and credible voice externally.
The journey won’t always be easy, and so you will need to be resilient; though you will have an excellent team behind you that is rich with lived experience. And you will also be supported by a committed Board of Trustees, who are all passionate about what we do and who have the enthusiasm to be different and step outside our comfort zone.
We would welcome candidates with no previous experience of being a Chief Executive. More important is understanding the value of lived experience, a commitment to the objects of User Voice and a hunger to see meaningful improvements for those in the criminal justice system. We particularly encourage applications from candidates who bring personal lived experience of the criminal justice system.

Everything we do is shaped by people affected by dementia. Their knowledge and experience are critical to bringing about real-world solutions. From choosing the most promising research through to telling their stories to raise awareness; they are the heart of this organisation.
Our Values
We are Determined to make a difference when and where it matters most, by being passionate, focussed and making a lasting impact for people affected by dementia.
Every one of us is a Trusted expert, listening, learning and using evidence and experience. We are Better together by being open, combining our strengths, helping us to achieve more together. We are Compassionate, we are kind and honest, and we don’t shy away from challenges.

Equal Opportunities
We’re a national charity providing dementia support to a community that’s ethnically diverse, but we don’t reflect this in our senior leadership. This needs to change.
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the community we exist to serve. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those from ethnically diverse communities who are traditionally underrepresented in the charity sector leadership roles.
We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.
We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do. During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and be at your best.
Inside Job consultant – Social Impact - London
Passionate about making a real difference? Want to help shape and grow a dynamic employment initiative that is reducing reoffending and changing lives by helping people who have served a sentence into work?
About us
Inside Job, is an Employment Consultancy with a difference. It was co-created by a serving prisoner, who is very much part of Our Team, and the Charity, Beating Time. Recognising the huge barriers people who have served a sentence face to re-entering the workplace, we realised a specialized service was needed. A service which collapses the space between Employers, who want to use their recruitment policies to achieve social impact, and people who are in prison. A service which understands those challenges and works collaboratively to remove them. Employment reduces reoffending by 50% - this is a job worth doing.

1. We recruit and train serving prisoners as Recruitment Consultants who provide us with our candidate pipeline and work closely alongside us.

Keeping up to date records with all relevant data on the Beating Time system to assist with monitoring the effectiveness of the programme, supporting funding applications, reporting to prisons and funders and to allow review and adaptation of the strategy.

About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people, working side by side with thousands of people each year as they find ways out of homelessness. We know that homelessness is not inevitable; we know that together we can end it.
This year, we will begin our new ten-year strategy to end homelessness. Key to our mission is thinking differently and more ambitiously about how we engage with corporate partners and the commercial sector and how we can generate more support for our cause across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Location: Based in our London office (we are open to a range of flexible working options, in line with Crisis’ Hybrid-Working Policy)
About the role
As we embark on a new ten-year strategy, this is a unique opportunity to lead the development of a radical and ambitious approach to partnerships with businesses, building on the successful partnerships we have with Lloyds Banking Group, Specsavers, Taylor Wimpey, Berkeley Homes and many more.
This pivotal role will lead the development of a corporate and commercial engagement strategy across Crisis, growing and deepening our portfolio of corporate partners, broadening their support for our organisation and our cause, and inspiring them to act within their businesses. The role also involves leading the continued development of our fundraising and partnerships outside of London, creating a national support network to end homelessness.
While the role is directly responsible for strategic and corporate partnerships, the post holder will lead across the charity, ensuring a joined-up approach across retail, service delivery (including Crisis at Christmas), brand partnerships, venture philanthropy, investments, and innovation.
The role also involves membership of the Brand, Marketing & Fundraising senior team and the organisation’s Senior Leadership Group, where it plays an important organisation-wide leadership role. Additional investment has recently been made in the team, and senior leadership and the Board have committed to supporting its success.
About you
We’re seeking someone with significant experience developing relationships with the corporate/commercial sector and a successful track record in organisations comparable in scale and complexity to Crisis. You will be ambitious, with a strong understanding of our challenges and how to make the most of opportunities to create new relationships with partners and think differently about what it means for a business to support a charity and social cause.
We’re looking for someone who…
-
Has cross-organisational leadership skills and the ability to represent the organisation to the corporate/commercial sector externally.
-
Has secured and developed significant corporate partnerships.
-
Has developed and executed organisational income generation strategies, including supporting and influencing areas outside of direct line management responsibility.
-
Can think creatively about partnerships, leveraging the unique opportunities that Crisis has.
-
Can develop a national income and engagement strategy appropriate to our work in English regions, Scotland, and Wales.
We believe diversity is a strength, and we aim to ensure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
Working at Crisis

Interest free loans for travel season ticket, cycle to work, and deposit to secure a tenancy.
