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.
