About this role

Turn2us is a national charity tackling poverty and the structural causes of financial insecurity. We work with co-producers and partners to provide people in financial crisis with the means and agency to get back on their feet, build resilience, move forward with their lives and thrive.

As an equal opportunities employer, we are committed to equity, inclusion and diversity and the value people from different backgrounds bring to a team. If, like us, you believe everyone has the right to have enough to live on, and you are ambitious about eradicating poverty, join us and build your career with a charity dedicated to ensuring dignity and equity for all.

The Head of EDIB is a fantastic opportunity to head a team that focuses on how Turn2us maximises the impact for people facing financial insecurity by developing equitable and inclusive processes to help embed a culture where equity and inclusion are engrained in everything we do. The team covers responsibilities for EDIB, safeguarding and co-production.

About You

You will bring experience of designing and implementing EDIB initiatives which have had a demonstrable effect on both organisational culture and the social impact of the organisation’s work. You will have previously worked with an extensive range of internal and external stakeholders to embed EDIB in their own areas. You will have an understanding of the barriers individuals face and an understanding of intersectionality and how that impacts experiences. You’ll need strong analytical skills to be able to translate data, research, and trends into strategy and actionable plans.
