For almost 15 years, we and our predecessor charities have been delivering high quality professional development programmes to educators serving disadvantaged communities. We are now working with more teachers and school leaders than ever before, annually delivering programmes to over 50,000 educators nationwide.

As Associate Director, Strategy, you will be responsible for leading and implementing complex strategic projects across the organisation, playing a vital role in organisational decision making. Strategy projects will include evaluating new external delivery opportunities, influencing sector policy and practice projects, and internal strategy development and implementation. You will contribute to briefing papers for senior leaders and develop papers for our Executive Committee.
 

Who are Ambition Institute?
A great teacher changes the future every day. Especially for children who have had a tough start in life, a teacher can be the critical factor in their success.

At Ambition Institute we help schools tackling educational disadvantage to keep getting better and help their teachers and school leaders to become more expert over time.

That’s how we’ll make sure every child gets a great education and the best possible start in life.

• We train teachers and leaders at all levels to get better at the things that make the biggest difference: what you teach, how you teach it, and how you create the conditions for schools to thrive.
• We share what works. Everyone can benefit from evidence of how great teaching and leadership can improve schools and change lives, so we connect people to the latest research and best practice.
• We champion every teacher and school leader’s potential to develop, as the driving force for sustainable school improvement.

We would like you to:

• Lead the defining of new strategy projects to deliver our long-term strategy 
• Lead the delivery of complex strategy projects, collaborating with both senior and junior stakeholders across the organisation to achieve desired project goals and outcomes 
• Lead the planning, development and drafting of complex reports, facilitating input from senior colleagues, communicating complex ideas and proposals effectively to inform decision-making at the executive level.
• Facilitate highly effective meetings and workshops, building strong relationships across the organisation, and fostering collaboration across departments to input into strategy projects.
   

Working in a hybrid way, you’ll be attached to either our Birmingham, London or Manchester office and will report to the Head of Strategy.  In line with our current ways of working, you’ll be expected to be in the office at least 1 day a month, in addition to team days and this may be reviewed by Ambition. 
 

Skills, Knowledge and Experience

To succeed in this role, you'll have proven experience of initiating and delivering projects. You'll also have a track record of independently approaching complex problems in a structured way, leveraging evidence, business and financial acumen, and logical reasoning to support strong recommendations.

Our successful candidate will be a strong quantitative thinker and proactive relationship and stakeholder manager. It's essential that you have proven experience of producing papers with impact independently for Executive Committee and Board of Trustees stakeholders.

 If this has sparked some interest, we would love to receive an application from you.

We are committed to the safeguarding of children and the most vulnerable in our society and, as such, we are unable to employ individuals with relevant convictions, including the following: a conviction for an offence involving violence or dishonesty, of a sexual nature or against minors, or for any other offence that is relevant to the nature of the services provided by our organisation.

About the Legal Education Foundation

“Why does it matter that people can understand and use the law?”

This question lies at our core. By asking it, the role of the law as a tool for social justice has become the common thread in our development. We are now one of the largest social justice funders in the UK, and one of the only ones to focus on the specific role and potential of the law. We do this through the strategic development and delivery of a number of programmes and initiatives.

We distribute around £6m a year through our grants, which cover areas of law including human rights, employment, housing, discrimination, children’s rights, community care, education, immigration, asylum and public and administrative law. We also fund particular issues and communities, such as racial justice, gender justice including violence against women and girls, disability justice, tenants, workers, migrants, refugees and children.

The Justice First Fellowship

In 2014 we established the Justice First Fellowship (JFF), our flagship scheme to support the next generation of social justice lawyers. More than 160 Fellowships have been awarded across all four nations in the UK, over ten cohorts. The Foundation has invested around £10.6 million into the scheme with additional contributions from other funders totalling £4.7 million.

The Fellowships have supported the new lawyers to use their skills and networks to bring about social change. Over 90% of JFF graduates remain in legal roles using law for public benefit and we are committed to continuing to support our alumni over the long term. So, it is an active and engaged group with a growing collective impact and voice for social justice.

About the role

This is a new role within the Foundation, and the post-holder will play a key part in ensuring the successful delivery of this flagship scheme. As part of a small and collaborative team, the JFF Officer role is varied and will include overseeing the coordination of events and training, acting as a key point of contact for Fellows as well as administration, communication and relationship management. The candidate will join us at an exciting time as we explore opportunities to help further develop the support provided to our Fellows.

If you have relevant experience and skills, are passionate about social justice and the not-for-profit sector, and thrive on building relationships, then this could be a great opportunity for you. On a practical note there will be some UK travel and you’ll need a demonstrable ability to juggle multiple projects. There’s lots more information in the pack (linked below) so please find out more if you are interested, and if you feel that you could be right for the role then we’d love to hear from you.

Power, Culture and Inclusion

As an organisation we are committed to shifting power in the systems that we are part of. Through a process of learning about anti-oppression, developing our values and behaviours, we want to build the best workplace.

Across all our recruitment we are working towards greater equity, diversity and inclusion and take this journey extremely seriously. Part of this journey is building a team that is diverse and representative, so whilst you will need the skills and experience described, we really want to hear from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. We particularly encourage people with lived experience of social welfare legal issues and where they intersect with structural racism and other forms of discrimination. However, there is no expectation for candidates to disclose details of personal experiences at any stage during this recruitment or during their work at the LEF.

Are you passionate about making a tangible impact in the charity sector? This is an exciting opportunity to join The Mulberry Centre at a pivotal time. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2026 and prepare for a series of high-profile fundraising initiatives, this is your chance to be part of something truly special. With the launch of the new Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre at West Middlesex University Hospital, we’re ready to enhance our collaboration with local NHS services and broaden our impact within the community.

We’re looking for someone with a background in the charity sector to help us drive forward our fundraising ambitions. Since 2001, The Mulberry Centre has been providing essential cancer information and support services to over 18,000 people. With our income now exceeding £750,000 and growing fast, we’re set to expand even further and we need someone like you to help secure the vital funding that will enable this growth.

In this role, you’ll work alongside our Head of Fundraising and Engagement to develop and implement fundraising strategies, focusing on securing new funding from trusts and foundations. You’ll write compelling proposals that secure support and cultivate relationships with funders to ensure long-term engagement. Your efforts will directly contribute to our mission of providing life-changing support to those affected by cancer.

If you’re a self-starter who thrives in a dynamic environment, can juggle multiple priorities, and is eager to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

At The National Lottery Community Fund, we are committed to making a bigger difference in the years ahead.  That’s why being ‘impact-focussed’ is one of our core values.  We want to transform how we use evidence in our organisation so that we can identify the communities that most need our funding, demonstrate the difference we make and take an equity-based approach.  Our 2030 strategy ‘It starts with community’ sets stretching goals and puts impact at the heart of what we do. In April, we will launch a new Impact Strategy that will explain how we will do this.

We’re recruiting for a Research Programme Manager in our newly formed Evidence and Impact team. This is an exciting new role where you’ll oversee the Fund’s externally commissioned research activity, making sure it delivers evidence and insights that our organisation needs to support communities across the UK. 

Building strong, positive working relationships is critical. You’ll work with colleagues to identify and manage new requests for research contracts and ensure these are appropriately specified, designed, monitored and costed. The culmination of this work will be your annual bid for the research programme as part of our business planning process. 

You’ll play a leading role in governance too, owning and improving standards and processes related to commissioning research and learning contracts and regularly reporting to governance groups on their status. And together with the Head of Strategic Analysis, you’ll maintain a strong network of contacts within government, other funders and the wider VCSE sector. This will allow you to identify common evidence interests and commission joint research projects.

Interview Date: Interviews will be held w/c 24th and 31st March and will take place online via Microsoft Teams.
