Disabled people face significant inequalities in education, sport, leisure and employment. They often face multiple barriers to fulfilling their potential and achieving their aspirations. Sport and physical activity have the power to inspire, enable, build self-esteem, and provide success. They can improve physical health, employability, mental well-being and social community inclusion. However, many barriers prevent disabled people from accessing sport. These include a lack of coaching, clubs, transport, equipment and support networks, as well as high costs and negative perceptions of disabled people participating in sport.

We are a fairly new charity established in 2021, with big ambitions for the future. We have started with small but meaningful projects. We are reaching out to disabled people, learning from our projects, and focusing on our vision and purpose.

We are now looking for someone to join our small but mighty team as our Project Officer. This is a new role, and is crucial to the development of the charity over the next few years. You will set up and deliver new projects to enable disabled people to get active and access sporting opportunities. To do this you will develop relationships with partners, funders and the disability community. This role has the potential for growth and development. You will have a huge influence in shaping our project delivery so that we can continue supporting disabled people to achieve their ambitions through sport.

As a user led organisation, we are keen to receive applications from disabled people.

About the Richard Whitehead Foundation

The Richard Whitehead Foundation is a small charity with big aspirations to use the power of sport for the benefit of disabled people. We believe in the impact of sport: the increased mental well-being, the confidence, the self-esteem, the social inclusion and employability which can come from it.  We want disabled people to be able to thrive and benefit from all the opportunities that sport provides.

Our vision: Enabling disabled people’s ambitions.

Our purpose: We believe disabled people should have access to the life-changing power of sport.

Our mission: We place the individual at the centre of our work. We provide access to life-changing support, mentoring, information, advice, equipment, and opportunities that will spark a sustained lifetime intervention.

Our values:  Person Centred Dynamic Powerful Authentic Inclusive

Main purpose of this role

Our mentoring work provides a person-centred approach, supporting disabled people to access the life-changing power of movement and sport. We train mentors (who are mostly disabled) and match them with disabled people who face multiple barriers and are likely to remain inactive without intervention. They work together to break down these barriers and connect with local sports clubs and initiatives. We delivered our first mentoring programme in Nottingham and are now looking to expand the programme across the East Midlands and other areas in England and Wales. Alongside this we want to expand our already established Supported Runner Programme to enable disabled people to participate in shorter community runs, and to adapt the model to support disabled people into other sports.

We are looking for a proactive, confident and dynamic individual to help us set up and deliver new mentoring and supported sports projects to enable disabled people to get involved in physical activity in their communities. You will join our small creative and supportive team within an empowering, values-led organisation that is person-centred and ambitious to empower disabled people.

We are looking for someone with significant experience of delivering projects at a community level, recruiting and supporting volunteers and project beneficiaries. You will be able to work independently, take initiative and achieve results. You will keep up to date with developments in the disability and sports sectors in order to inform the development or our projects and ensure we are seeking opportunities for partnerships and funding. You will work confidently with a wide range of individuals and stakeholder groups, including disabled people, volunteers, community groups, disability organisations and local services.

The Tudor Trust is a philanthropic foundation with a long-standing commitment to funding smaller organisations across the UK. Holding an endowment of around £250m, our annual commitment to grants historically has averaged £20m.

Following a transition from a family foundation to one that is independently led by a new board of trustees, we are bridging to a strategy with greater emphasis on racial justice. Our definition of racial justice is a vision for a world that moves beyond racism and racial inequities to one where inclusive communities thrive in all our systems and structures.  We believe this is the foundation for tackling all forms of injustice, including economic, environmental and social.

As we continue our transformative journey and the process of making new grants, we are excited to appoint our first Head of Programmes to join the Tudor Trust. This appointment will complete the rebuild of a new Senior Leadership Team (SLT)

About the role 

The Head of Programmes is a new and pivotal role in leading our grant making strategy, taking an iterative approach that is informed by our learning and commitment to systems thinking.

This role requires a facilitative leader who understands the importance of bringing out the best in your team, which is currently made up of four people and is likely to grow further. You will guide the programme team as they go deeper into developing strategic and equitable funding practices that empower communities and drive systemic change. The Head of Programmes will also act as a bridge between internal teams and external partners, understanding ways in which we can maximise on our collective knowledge to build more power-sensitive relationships between funders and grantee partners. Your leadership will help create a culture of curiosity, learning, and inclusivity, ensuring the Trust remains agile and reflective in response to the evolving needs of communities we serve. 

As a member of the SLT, you will contribute to the strategic direction of the Trust, ensuring alignment between our funding practices, the change we seek, and organisational goals.  You will work closely with and in collaboration with the Head of Finance & Resources and Head of People & Culture with a shared responsibility for delivering projects and embedding a coaching approach to how we empower all our staff.  You will also work closely with the CEO and the Board to ensure that the grant-making aligns with the wider work, particularly as it relates to our investments.

We very much encourage you to read our recruitment pack and consider this newly designed role. We are genuinely open minded about the right candidate. In all our roles we have encouraged applications from people who are ready for a stretch, and we are committed to personal and professional development to ensure that everyone at Tudor is well supported. 

Are you passionate about influencing people to improve the lives of others? Are you a skilled communicator, able to get across complex ideas succinctly and impactfully, adapting your style to suit a range or audiences? Do you have a proven track record of engaging with policy makers & other key stakeholders at local and national levels to get key messages heard, understood and acted on? If so, this role could be for you.

Our policy work plays a pivotal role in pushing for widespread change that will help prevent epilepsy deaths and gain greater recognition of the life-long impact these sudden deaths have on communities. So we’re looking for someone who has experience of engaging with and influencing policy-makers, preferably in the charity or health/care sector. This is an exciting opportunity for someone interested in building on established relationships with the NHS and local authorities across the country who are keen to use SUDEP Action’s expertise and tools to make change. There is much to do in challenging circumstances. Our national campaign has global support with real opportunity with a new Parliament to build back to our level of influence to our experiences before the dramatic impact of Brexit, the COVID pandemic and cost of living crisis.  Working closely alongside and reporting to the Director of Policy and Influencing (who has nearly 3 decades of expertise), you will learn the field to deliver high quality policy and campaigning for the charity.

Engaging confidently with people and feeling comfortable in adapting your approach to different audiences is a key skill for this role – epilepsy, and in particular epilepsy bereavement is a challenging area to gain attention and change, so you’ll need tenacity, creativity and passion to succeed. You’ll have experience in writing punchy, evidence-based communications that have personal stories at the heart.

Building positive supporter connections is at the heart of what we do at SUDEP Action, so setting a positive example of this through your work and actions, and demonstrating the importance of maintaining strong, personalised relationships is key. You’ll be ready to record, monitor and evaluate the impact and engagement with policy work, so this feeds back into how the charity operates. The successful candidate will be able to build on current processes and successes to grow our engagement across all policy activities and campaigns.
