Summary
The newly scoped CEO role in our vision-focussed charity is one of many challenges. Despite having doubled its outputs in the last 2 years, the charity acknowledges there is still a great job of work to do to prepare itself for even greater demand in its services - without necessarily a proportionate increase in its budgets. This role is about leading and enabling the incredible team of people on to even greater levels of already-strong performance. So we're looking for an accomplished leader and not just a great manager. We're looking for someone who can lead from both the front - and from within. This will be someone who is as comfortable sitting and engaging with our beneficiaries - primarily homeless people and those with previous convictions, as they are creating and delivering highly polished, compelling public event and funder and stakeholder-focussed presentations. We are looking for someone who understands the balance of external and internal focus required to ensure both good governance and team wellbeing (as they work in often challenging circumstances) and the ambition to keep developing existing and new external partnerships. With a strong start to its ambitious Corporate Partnership programme, commercial and/or business experience is highly desirable as well as a proven track record in creating and optimising new funding channels.

We are also very proud of our UR4Driving programme, which supports people recently out of prison with free driving lessons in exchange for community volunteering.

Additionally, our UR4Jobs project focusses on both client wellbeing and breaking down the many barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged people every day.

Additionally, there are a wide range of community and external partner relationships to manage and develop. Ultimately this role sets the tone for the charity, one of both compassion and ambition to improve the lives of the people who need us. This is primarily an on-site role, with occasional opportunity to work flexibly.

The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is a registered charity established in memory of a young woman who was tragically murdered for her distinctive gothic appearance. Our mission is to challenge prejudice and intolerance, especially towards people from alternative subcultures, and to celebrate diversity within our society. Based in Haslingden, Lancashire, we have a large following both nationally and internationally and are a well-known presence within the alternative community.
We’re looking for a highly creative social media and marketing specialist to craft and deliver engaging content across our digital channels and spread our inspiring message of tolerance and respect to an even wider audience.
The Role
We need someone with professional social media and marketing experience who is passionate about driving the Sophie Lancaster Foundation forward. You’ll manage our social media presence, engage with our followers, and create new opportunities for conversation and audience growth. As a champion of our brand, we’ll look to you to ensure our communications are always spot-on. Your writing should shine across various platforms, whether it's website content, leaflets, or marketing emails. With a keen eye for design, you’ll create impactful social media posts and use both photography and video to boost engagement. Identifying ways to expand our audience and increase income is vital for our self-funded sustainability. Besides working at your desk, you’ll also represent the Foundation at events and festivals, becoming a key member of our small team. This role is offered as a one-year contract with the potential to be made permanent and has an annual leave entitlement of 25 days per year.
About You
You might belong to an alternative subculture yourself, or at the very least, you’ll understand and empathise with subcultural groups and champion cultural differences.
As well as being technically savvy, you’ll be fully engaged with our mission. Sharing Sophie Lancaster’s story is a privilege, and you’ll take pride in creating work that challenges hateful behaviours and inspires a diverse audience around the world. You’ll be a skilled organiser and administrator, who’ll be comfortable managing a busy diary filled with social media schedules, campaign deadlines and events.
Representing the Foundation is a key part of the role, so you will need to be self-sufficient in driving the company vehicle and transporting merchandise and presentation materials from our office HQ and into the event venue. Overnight stays are sometimes necessary. Please only apply if you’re based in the local area as remote working will not fulfil the in-person support required. Social media demands regular evening monitoring so if you are building a portfolio career and are not available in the evenings or don’t want to be disturbed, then this is not the role for you. Time in lieu is provided for work outside of your core hours and flexible working can be discussed.
Most importantly, you’ll be a fantastic team player who instinctively steps up to get the job done and will always go that extra mile. Your energetic, positive personality will help you build connections with communities and supporters, representing the Sophie Lancaster Foundation and our values with enthusiasm and warmth.

YPF Trust are seeking to appoint a Chief Executive Officer, to lead the next phase of the YPF Trust’s development in support of place-based partnerships for children and young people.
This role is a crucial one for the sector; we believe that for too long, children's and young people's services have been overlooked, and young people in England do not have access to the services that are required for them to live the full lives that they should be able to. Importantly we believe that the importance of Place has been ignored and that the passion and drive that is found in local community collaboration is a powerful agent for positive change.
You will have passion for social change and a strong commitment for making the lives of children and young people better. You will be collaborative and inclusive by nature and as comfortable working with small community groups as with Government partners and funders.
The Trust and the Network of organisations that feed into it are broad, and diverse and include people who all want to make this world better for children and young people. If this is you, we would love to hear from you.
ABOUT YPF TRUST
YPF Trust is a national charity that focuses on collaboration in place for children and young people – we know that working in partnership makes children and young people’s lives better.
We support a growing network of over 40 areas across England by providing tools, resources, advice, enthusiasm, and challenge to established, emerging and completely new partnerships.
The YPF Trust originated from work initiated by John Lyon's Charity in Brent in 2014/15. In response to significant changes in local funding and the role of the local authority, John Lyon's Charity invested in local collaboration to sustain and increase investment, maximise resources, and enhance quality and impact – this led to the establishment of Young People’s Foundations or YPFs.
YPFs are locally established, cross-sectoral organisations that seek to sustain and strengthen delivery for children and young people in a specific area, shaped by local needs and ambitions. In practice, they convene and coordinate local services, building the sector's capacity and increasing and shaping investment.
Our vision is that all children and young people are heard and supported to be happy and thrive wherever they are. To make this happen, we believe that every local authority area in England requires a strong and sustainable children and young people’s sector and that effective and meaningful partnership and collaboration between local organisations is central to achieving this.
This is why it is our mission to ensure:
- There is a strong and effective partnership for children and young people in every place that it is needed, sustainably funded according to its specific needs;
- Funders recognise, understand and collaborate with partnerships at an individual and network level;
- National and regional infrastructure bodies work together with local areas (and statutory partners) to provide a coherent offer of support to local organisations
YPF Trust also hosts the Centre for supplementary education (formerly NRCSE) to ensure the continuation of support and guidance to community-led settings offering supplementary (also known as out-of-school) education to children and young people.
Supplementary schools are community-based initiatives to provide additional educational support for children who also attend mainstream schools. They are often geared to provide specific heritage languages, cultural and religious teaching for children from ethnic minorities as well as additional literacy, numeracy, science and homework support.
Working alongside local partnerships YPF Trust supports safe, effective delivery in communities and collaborates with them to raise the profile of community-led activities among mainstream schools and other children’s services.
