Why Work for The Difference?
Schooling isn’t working for the children who need it most. Every week in England 109 children – equivalent to three full classrooms – are permanently excluded. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Since the pandemic, school suspensions have risen significantly, as has persistent absenteeism. 1 in 5 children are missing more than 10% of their time in school. Children who are excluded or persistently absent are much more likely to already be experiencing vulnerability or disadvantage. They are more likely to live in poverty, have additional learning needs, suffer mental health challenges, or experience a lack of safety outside school. Certain ethnicities are also disproportionately affected, notably Gypsy Roma Traveller and black Caribbean children.
Exclusion and high rates of absence can have a dramatic effect on life chances. These young people are more likely to drop out of education or employment, become vulnerable to long-term mental ill health, or be at risk of criminal exploitation. The Difference believes that children and young people deserve better and that the education system has to change.
Our Organisation
The Difference is a young education charity, founded to change the story on lost learning. By 2030, we want rates of exclusion and absence to be falling nationally and for schools to be better equipped to support all children, including those who may be vulnerable.
The Difference was born out of a year of research into school exclusions with think-tank IPPR. This research identified a lack of inclusion expertise in schools and proposed a new leadership development programme to fill this gap. In 2018, Difference founder Kiran hired the team who took this idea from concept to reality, beginning work with our first schools. In September 2024, we published a follow-up report: Who is Losing Learning? This report broadened our definition of ‘exclusions’ to include lost learning from absence, as well as suspensions and permanent exclusions.
The Difference is now a 22-strong team delivering multiple school leadership programmes, alongside a growing research and policy arm. This work is needed more than ever. Effects of COVID-19, coupled with the spiralling cost of living, have substantially increased levels of vulnerability. Schools serving excluded pupils face under-funding. The Difference has had excellent early impact but there is work ahead to capture this, share learning with schools and policy-makers, and grow our capacity to lower exclusions across England.
Our Values
-
Relationships underpin success - Strong relationships and the safety they bring are the foundation of achievement - for children, for school staff, in our workplace and in our collaborations. They enable higher trust, challenging feedback, bolder work and stronger impact.
-
We build stronger from assets - Every child, family, school and community has strengths and successes. We avoid deficit-labels about teachers, children and families, and instead focus on building from what’s strong.
-
Systems shape opportunities - Actions always take place within systems. These can help or hinder individuals. We recognise the role of policy and structural inequalities and address them directly in our work.
-
Agency makes the difference - Bold leadership by individuals can create significant and lasting change. We are proactive in addressing problems and seeking out opportunities.

We’re here to prevent children from becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to change things. We need to inspire and connect with youth justice services across England and Wales to spread what works and make our country safer for some of our most vulnerable children. We are looking for someone to lead on making this happen.
We are making good progress building the evidence of what works within and around youth justice to reduce violence, with new Practice Guidance and implementation resources due next year on diversion, mentoring and sports programmes. But the big risk is that we publish these resources and nothing changes. That’s where you come in!
Key responsibilities include:
Working out the best way to make this change happen by getting more senior leaders within youth justice to use our Guidance, toolkit, research and implementation tools to inform day to day operations and strategic decision making.
Creating practical tools and resources that help leaders put evidence into action.
Supporting the scoping and commissioning of behavioural insights research to support effective evidence mobilisation plans and strategies.
About you:
You understand the youth justice sector. You really understand how youth justice services work, from Heads of Services to frontline officers. You have experience working in/with youth justice, ideally in a role that worked with young people who are vulnerable to or involved in violence. You might have previous experience of supporting a youth justice to reflect on and adopt evidence-based practice.
You are fascinated about change and are experienced in making it happen. You have outstanding analytical judgment alongside the emotional intelligence and experience needed to identify the right opportunities for change, then make them happen. You understand why people find change difficult. You come alive talking about how people make decisions and why they do the things they do.
The wide salary range reflects our flexibility to tailor the role to the right candidate’s experience, with the exact responsibilities and leadership level decided during the interview process.

If you are passionate about making a difference in young people's lives and have an already outstanding career in the strategic partnerships area of fundraising, then this could be the opportunity for you. We are looking for someone who can design and implement new ways of working which will enable us to generate further income from already established income streams, and identify new opportunities, alongside our local YMCA partners. Collaboration will be essential so communication skills, a supportive approach, and an ability to think creatively are crucial.
About Us
YMCA England & Wales supports 83 local YMCAs, advocating for vulnerable young people by providing essential building blocks for a better life—like a safe home, guidance, friendship, and employment skills. We’re committed to ensuring fairness and opportunity for all, and through our collective voice, we influence national policy and media to improve the lives of young people across the country.
Fundraising at YMCA England & Wales has three pillars:
Fundraising for distribution through initiatives such as our RoomSponsor programme
Fundraise to support YMCAs and fund our policy, campaign and research work, that changes the lives of young people
Help YMCAs fundraise themselves by providing assets, propositions and advice for local YMCA fundraisers
What you’ll do
Build strong working relationships with YMCA Federation partners; your style is supportive! You will oversee multiple projects simultaneously.
Strategically oversee the development and implementation of fundraising frameworks and models, for Trusts and Grants and Corporate Partnerships.
Guide the establishment of a combined Trusts model (again working with our partners in local YMCAs) whilst building upon a collaborative corporate fundraising model to optimise partnership opportunities. You’ll help take us to the next level!
Contribute to the development of a funding strategy which may include commissioning, as a new organisational strategy launches. You’ll involve the team in its development and provide clear direction in the ultimate delivery.
Work alongside the Assistant Head of Public Fundraising to support and deputise for the Head of Fundraising when necessary.
Drive sustainable income growth for YMCA England & Wales through development of strategic partnerships, including trusts and grants and corporate partnerships.
Identify new national opportunities and develop ways of working to enable us to help local YMCA to generate their own funding.
Provide practical operational leadership and delivery of fundraising targets, developing an already dynamic, high performing fundraising team.
Build excellent working relationships throughout the charity.
Bring effective and inspiring leadership to coach and develop existing staff.
Recruit new talent to maximise fundraising opportunities.
Who We’re Looking For

This role reports to the Head of Fundraising and works closely within a vibrant team as well as across the whole of YMCA England & Wales. You will have experience of managing multiple internal and external relationships.
Your early career will have seen you gain fundraising expertise in corporate partnerships or trusts and grants (or both!)
If you're ready to join us on our journey we would love to hear from you!
Please apply today with cv and cover letter and help us continue to build a better future for young people across England & Wales.
