About the College
The Royal College of Pathologists is a professional membership organisation with charitable status concerned with all matters relating to the science and practice of pathology.

The College is a charity with over 13000 members worldwide. The majority of members are doctors and scientists working in hospitals and universities in the UK.
The College oversees the training of pathologists and scientists working in 17 different specialties, which include cellular pathology, haematology, clinical biochemistry and medical microbiology.

Fifty years ago, Home-Start began with a simple yet powerful idea: parents supporting each other can transform lives. Today, we are a national movement of volunteers, staff, and partners, standing alongside families to ensure every child has the best possible start in life.
The last few years have placed increasing pressure on families. The cost-of-living crisis is forcing parents to make impossible trade-offs. The erosion of public services, the NHS and social care can leave little support around the earliest moment of a child’s life. The need for our support has never been greater.
With a network of 177 independently governed local Home-Starts across the UK and a central supporting team at Home-Start UK, we are united in our mission to provide compassionate, non-judgemental support to families facing challenges such as isolation, poor mental health and financial pressures. Last year, the network supported 75,500 children in 58,850 families across the UK and British armed forces in Cyprus, with the help of our dedicated staff and nearly 8,000 volunteers.
While we are proud of the impact we make, the need for early years support remains vast, and we currently reach only a fraction of the families we aim to help. Our network is aligned by an ambitious federation-wide strategy to expand our reach and drive meaningful change. With this shared commitment, we aim to double the number of families we support and leverage innovative approaches to scale our impact, reaching 200,000 families a year.
About the role:
As the central organisation in the Home-Start federation, Home-Start UK exists to aid the Home-Start network, providing leadership, voice and quality assurance support to ensure the network has the capacity and resilience to sustainably stand alongside families and communities in times of challenge.
With our current Chief Executive moving on after a successful tenure, we are looking for an exceptional leader to take Home-Start UK into its next chapter. As Chief Executive, you will work collaboratively with our federated network, partners, and funders to enhance our profile, strengthen our voice, expand our reach and deepen our impact. You will help secure bold and sustainable growth and influence policy to ensure early years support remains a national priority.
This is a unique opportunity to lead a dynamic, values-driven organisation at a critical time for UK families. We seek a visionary, highly collaborative leader passionate about social change— someone who excels at uniting people around a shared vision. You will be an inspiring advocate, strategic thinker, and skilled influencer and partnership builder, adept at navigating complexity and championing our movement. A personal commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusive relationships and work cultures is essential.
Diversity and Inclusion at Home-Start UK and in this recruitment:
Home-Start UK are committed to increasing the diversity of our leadership and creating an inclusive recruitment process that attracts a broad pool of talent, including candidates with lived experience relevant to Home-Start’s mission. We appreciate this is an important role with a significant mandate, so are keen to consider how a mix of skills and intersectional insights can contribute to our mission - we are open to exploring new models of leadership structure to achieve this aim, including exploring Co-CEO models. So, if you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet every single aspect of the person specification, please still apply – we would love to explore the role further with you! For further details on EEDI in our organisation and in this recruitment, please see the full Appointment Brief.
If you are energised by the power of communities and committed to making a lasting difference for children and families, we would love to hear from you. For more information about the organisation, role and how to apply, please download the full appointment brief below.

Background Information
The Screen Academy Foundation fundraises for the London Screen Academy (LSA) and the East London Arts & Music (ELAM) - two free-to-attend, Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ sixth form academies for 16-19 year olds in London which, combined, are teaching just under 1200 young people every year. With the opportunity to work alongside an inspiring and supportive Board of Trustees from across the Film, TV, Media, and Music industries, this role is within an ambitious and exciting Foundation.
Part of the same multi-academy trust (the Day One Trust), LSA and ELAM were founded by industry leaders from the film and music industries who wanted to address the lack of diversity, inequality of opportunity and serious skills shortage in the creative industries.
LSA and ELAM’s shared mission is to transform and diversify the creative industries by enabling access to all young people, no matter their background, and to develop the most well-rounded, highly skilled workforce possible, which reflects the cultural and socioeconomic diversity of the world we live in. LSA teaches a behind-the-scenes Film & TV programme in Highbury whilst ELAM teaches Music, Games Design and Film & TV in Bromley-by-Bow.
Everything the Academies offer is practical, relevant and plugged into the real world. By combining an innovative and ever-evolving education with dedicated in-house Industry Engagement and Alumni & Careers teams, we seek to radically change access routes to the creative industries and transform lives and trajectories. Our diverse students are leaving LSA and ELAM highly employable and ‘industry-ready’, with the skills, knowledge, professional behaviours and network needed to fulfil their potential and ensure a successful career.
Fundraising for LSA and ELAM
As sixth form academies, the LSA and ELAM receive funding from the Department for Education. However, in order to provide students with world class facilities and equipment, opportunities to engage with industry, arts and culture, and services to support their mental health, the charity needs to raise an additional c. £2.2m each year to supplement the Government funding.
Philanthropy and corporate partnerships are therefore crucial to the success of the Academies. In addition to major donors and trusts & foundations, LSA has developed partnerships with corporations such as NBCUniversal, Netflix and Disney, and ELAM have relationships with Universal Music Group, UTA and PPL.
Purpose of the Role
This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a career in fundraising and gain experience across all areas of the sector. The Fundraising Support Executive will play a critical role in supporting the smooth running of the Foundation, managing essential fundraising administration, working in partnership with the Foundation Director and Senior Philanthropy & Partnerships Manager to secure new donors, ensure excellent stewardship for existing donors and event organisation.

Job Title: Senior Design & Production Officer

Contract Type: Permanent, 37.5 hours per week, Monday-Friday
Salary: £36,000-£38,000 (dependent on experience)

About The Felix Project
The Felix Project is London’s largest food redistribution charity. Started in 2016, its vision is a London where good food is never wasted, and no one goes hungry. In 2024 our workforce of over 200 staff and 13,000 volunteers collected and distributed the equivalent of 38 million meals to Londoners in need. This is done through a network of 1,200 community organisations and schools who are working on the frontline to feed people who are experiencing hunger and cannot afford to regularly buy the food they need. The Felix Project works with hundreds of suppliers from across the food industry, including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms and restaurants to rescue high quality surplus food, that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste.
In London, one in four working families regularly struggle to afford to feed their children, equating to an estimated 325,000 families across the capital. The cost of food has increased by 30% in the past three years and one in eight working families have less than £3 a day for food, after paying their bills. About 20% of working families have been forced to access a food support service for the first time during 2024 due to the rising cost of living.
Our work has never been more needed, and demand continues to grow. We are building our expertise and impact in response. The Felix Project now operates from four main depots in North, South, East, and West London, with ‘point-to-point’ projects in Central London and Canary Wharf. Felix’s Kitchen in our East London depot produces up to 5,000 meals per day from surplus food. Felix’s Multibank in West London distributes non-food items to those who need it most. As part of the charity’s involvement with The Coronation Food Project, we are launching an innovative food processing lab – The Felix Food Factory.
