BACKGROUND
Our work has never been more needed. The latest research suggesting that the number of children and young people at risk of hunger has rocketed to 2.6 million* means that one in five children don't have enough to eat.When a child is too hungry to learn, when they’re aching for something to eat, they can’t concentrate. They can’t absorb information. Big feelings and worries can be impossible to control. They fall behind in their studies.
Magic Breakfast provide a nutritious and filling breakfast to over 300,000 children and young people every school day. We work with schools in areas of high disadvantage, helping staff target the children most in need without barrier or stigma. Magic Breakfast are ambitious to grow our impact to remove hunger as a barrier to learning for all children and young people in the UK.
This is an exciting time to join Magic Breakfast if you wish to make a difference to the lives of children as we work to influence both policy implementation, with the national rollout of primary-aged universal school breakfast, and legislative change, through the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. There has also been commitment from the Scottish Government for a national breakfast scheme and we are seeking to expand our advocacy work into Wales. Magic Breakfast’s influence will be instrumental to ensuring school breakfasts are implemented in a way that is hunger-focused and barrier free.
In addition, thousands of secondary school children are at risk of losing their free school breakfasts from September next year. For many of these students, this is their only opportunity to have a nutritious meal before facing a demanding school day, including taking exams. And for the very youngest, we know that the disadvantage gap begins before they even reach reception. With the Government commitment to another 100,000 places in school-based nurseries, early years is also a critical part of our advocacy work.
Being part of the work of Magic Breakfast is your chance, together with parents, teachers and people across the UK, to demonstrate the power of school breakfasts and to shape the way forward to end morning hunger for good.

Our client is one of the largest social mobility charities in the UK. They help to level the playing field between state and independent schools by giving all young people access to the same prestigious networks available to the top fee-paying schools.
They believe by inspiring young people to explore their ambitions through their speaker programme, facilitating access to multi-day experiences of the world of work, and supporting young people to successfully seize opportunities available to them, that they can make a profound difference to the lives of young people, their future happiness and prosperity.
By 2028, their ambition is that every young person in the UK has access to high quality work experience. Yet today, less than half of young people leave secondary school having had any work experience whatsoever. Their five year strategy is focused on achieving this ambition.

We're looking for a new Chief Executive: a compassionate and visionary leader who values lived experience. It's a balancing act between honouring the organisation's deep foundations, whilst welcoming new and innovative ways of working.
Mary Seacole House is a small, but mighty charity that punches above its weight. Rooted in people, place and community, the organisation has a proud 30-year history serving the city's Black, Asian, racially minoritised and refugee communities with a clear mission: to tackle mental health inequalities through a culturally responsive lens. They serve people too often overlooked by traditional mental health services, offering a safe space and a strong voice.
Why this role matters
The need for culturally appropriate mental health support has never been more pressing. Against a backdrop of systemic inequality, social injustice and rising mental health challenges, Mary Seacole House offers a lifeline to hundreds of individuals each year.
Services range from 1-1 support and advocacy to wellbeing activities, outreach, and collaborative projects across the region. Respected and trusted because they listen and learn, the organisation prides itself on partnerships and creating spaces where people feel genuinely seen and understood.
About you
As Chief Executive, you'll help shape the future of Mary Seacole House - driving strategic ambition, empowering the team, and ensuring services continue to create lasting impact. This is more than a CEO job - it's a platform for someone who wants to shift the dial on mental health inequality.
We're looking for someone who is:
- A natural collaborator and communicator, confident presenting to diverse audiences, from local communities to commissioners and funders.
- A values-driven leader, with a deep understanding of the lived experience of racially minoritised communities.
- Skilled in strategic planning, service development and partnership building, with credibility to influence decision-makers and inspire teams.
- Aware of income generation, capable of fundraising, developing partnerships and ensuring financial sustainability.
- Passionate about equity, inclusion and culturally responsive care, with a proven commitment to antiracism and the resilience to lead through change and complexity.
We're open-minded about your background - whether you come from the charity sector, health, social care or beyond. What matters most is a demonstrable commitment to the core mission and your ability to lead with humility, integrity and vision.
We welcome candidates from all backgrounds to apply for this role.
Mary Seacole House values the power of lived experience to inform, shape and drive change. We encourage those without lived experience of racialisation or racial/ethnic oppression to spend time reflecting on how you would lead authentically and advocate effectively. If you choose to apply, you'll be given the opportunity to address this in your application.
Why join us?
At Mary Seacole House, you'll be part of something powerful, leading a dedicated and diverse team who are deeply connected and committed to their work. Together, you'll help shape services, influence change, and make a meaningful difference.
We're passionate about developing potential leaders, especially those who come from typically underrepresented backgrounds. As such, we are working to develop a programme of coaching, mentoring and training to upskill a new leader who may not have been in a CEO role before.
To apply, all you need to do is send a copy of your CV or brief overview of your career/profile to Amelia Lee at Charity People as the first step.
We'll be back in touch with details on the application process, providing your experience meets the brief.
Closing date: 9am on Thursday 8th May
Interviews dates will be confirmed soon.
Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.
