We are looking to recruit a CEO (Director) to support us in an exciting period of growth. Over the next 5 years, we will double our reach and impact. The CEO (Director) will lead us through this transformative period.
Since 2011 Disability Africa has developed a model using playschemes as hubs to deliver essential lifesaving services to extremely vulnerable disabled children and to end their exclusion in low-income African communities. Using this model, we have worked with project partners in Kenya, The Gambia, Sierra Leone and Zambia. 680 disabled children have now attended our projects more than 90,000 times since 2011. Now the charity is planning to grow and expand with our 5-year plan (‘DA2029’) to replicate the Disability Africa Model to reach more disabled children across Africa.
By 2029 we will:
• Start work with at least 4 new partners in Africa (as well as expected growth at our existing projects).
• Deliver 160,000 attendances by at least 1,500 disabled children in 7 African countries.
• Grow and reach as many disabled children as possible - we know we can’t do it all by ourselves - so we will engage other international NGOs to adopt our model of inclusion.
Disability Africa is a four-day week employer.

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.

You will also be passionate about our vision to reach people for Christ.
At TLG, we’re passionate about building an exceptional staff team that love making a difference to struggling children across the UK. We are continually on the lookout for great people to journey with us and join our vision. An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a graduate to train up in the specialism of Executive Support, who would consider a career in this profession. The EA to the Chief Executive is an integral and trusted role right at the heart of the action. We are looking for someone who is excited about helping senior leaders with executive tasks, operations, organisational efficiency, problem solving, the ability to react and pivot as things change.
The successful candidate will have a natural leadership gift, be comfortable with challenging the status quo, and be able to lead up and across the organisation with heads of departments and directors, to deliver the strategy and agenda that the Chief Executive and Executive Director are working towards. They will be trained in all aspects of executive support, working closely with the Head of Executive Strategy. TLG is interested in an individual that has a proactive instinct to fulfil the role successfully, anticipate the needs of senior leaders, and provide effective problem solving ahead of issues emerging, paired with a relational approach and the ability to partner effectively and negotiate well across the team at all levels.
TLG is a Christian charity and, as a team, we want to bring our faith to the work we do; as such, we are recruiting an individual with a strong and vibrant Christian faith. We would welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds to enable us to better reflect the needs of the communities we serve.
