This is an incredible opportunity to be part of a member-led organisation that supports people with a learning disability and autistic people to thrive.
You’ll shape a vibrant, inclusive and accessible community space at the heart of Bexley—one that offers a range of activities, support, and services. The exact shape of the Hub is still to come—because we’re co-creating it with our community. From creative workshops and peer-led support, to potential social enterprises like a community café—your ideas, energy and leadership will help make it happen.
You’ll lead a team that includes staff with learning disabilities or autism, and you’ll work closely with our partners and other charities to open up new opportunities for local people.

Be the voice that drives change. Be the bridge between families and prison healthcare.
For too long, families and carers have been shut out of the prison healthcare system, unable to support their loved ones when they need it most. Yet, their knowledge, experience, and insight are invaluable. When families are involved, outcomes improve—for prisoners, families, the NHS, and the criminal justice system as a whole.
That’s where Listen to Families London comes in. This groundbreaking project, commissioned by NHS London, is transforming how prison healthcare services engage with families and carers. Over the past two years, we’ve gathered the voices of more than 1,500 people, ensuring their experiences shape better healthcare in prisons.
The Role: Champion Lived Experience, Drive Real Change
We are looking for an inspiring individual to take this pioneering initiative to the next level. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of healthcare, justice, and lived experience—ensuring that families and carers are not just heard, but listened to.
You will lead a dynamic project that operates in a quarterly cycle of listening, feedback, and action—working directly with families, NHS teams, prison services, and policymakers to make real, lasting improvements in prison healthcare.
At the heart of this project is our Family Team—a group of people with lived experience of supporting loved ones in prison. You will ensure their voices remain central to everything we do, consulting and involving them at every stage.
What We’re Looking For
We need a strategic thinker, a powerful communicator, and a fearless advocate. You’ll have:
• Experience leading service user involvement or public voice programmes.
• A deep understanding of the criminal justice system, prison healthcare, or both.
• The ability to engage with families from diverse backgrounds—understanding their struggles, frustrations, and hopes.
• Confidence to work at a senior level, influencing NHS decision-makers and challenging the system where necessary.
• We strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience—whether you’ve had a family member in prison, or have been in prison yourself.
Why This Role Matters
This is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to challenge, influence, and change the way prison healthcare services work. If you are passionate about amplifying the voices of families, breaking down barriers, and creating a more just and compassionate system, we want to hear from you.
Join us. Be the voice that makes a difference. Apply today.

About Free to Run
Free to Run’s mission is to advance gender equity globally through running. We are a registered nonprofit/nongovernmental organization that has been operating community-led programs for adolescent girls and young women since 2014. We are known for delivering long-term, youth-led, progressive running, leadership, rights, and health programs directly to girls and young women living in protracted conflict zones. However, the longer-term impact of our work is building enduring social change - decreasing barriers to public participation, increasing women in leadership, and making power structures more equitable and inclusive. Free to Run identifies as an organization working at the intersections of feminism, human rights, development, and humanitarian interventions.
The organization is in a position of significant growth, in terms of our strategy, reach, impact, and operating budget. In 2024, we embarked on a new three-year strategic plan that positions us to reach 50,000 people by 2026. We will meet this goal through our work across three strategic pillars: direct service (EMPOWER), capacity building for local, women-led NGOs (EQUIP), and building a global movement of activists who are passionate about gender equity and running (MOVE).
Position Overview
A new role within the organization, the Philanthropy Officer, Trusts and Foundations is responsible for identifying, building, and managing a (new) portfolio of trust, foundation, and grant funders from identification to stewardship, developing high-quality proposals, budgets, and reports. Alongside ownership of this portfolio, the Philanthropy Officer, Trusts and Foundations will support the broader Free to Run team with prospect research and assist with applications and reports for institutional/transformational funders.
This position offers a high degree of flexibility and would suit a proactive self-starter with a strong ability to self-manage to achieve goals and a demonstrated passion for the work of Free to Run. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced trusts and foundations fundraiser to build and grow a new, high-potential portfolio from the ground up, with strong support from program and leadership teams.
While some support for larger institutional grants is part of the role, we are particularly seeking applicants with experience managing and growing portfolios of charitable trusts, private foundations, or family foundations, rather than institutional grant management alone.
