Are you the Strategy and Executive Facilitator to work with Sam?

• Do you thrive in a collaborative, open, creative and highly adaptive environment where all forms of intelligence and perspective are valued?
• Do you have an aptitude and ability to effectively support and collaborate with neurodivergent leadership and with someone whose preferred style of working is strongly verbal?
• Can you be a conduit for creative ideas and visions and enable communications, strategy and organisation, and can you see what steps and actions need to be taken to support translating them into reality?

Our priorities and approach

The Roddick Foundation was established by Gordon and Anita Roddick, founders of The Body Shop. We are entrepreneurial and activist, driving innovative programmes and focusing on people and organisations that take unconventional approaches to advancing justice and empowering communities. We do this through two areas of work; grant making and initiating and incubating system-change projects. Historically some of these include initiating and incubating the Big Issue and 38 Degrees.

Current projects include indigenous rights in Canada and Brazil, a farming cluster project in Wales and creating new ways of trading with indigenous food growers.

The projects are led by Sam Roddick who is a creative entrepreneur and who brings her creative and intuitive abilities to being an activist and leading visionary projects. This role will work closely with Sam who is neurodivergent and the postholder will support her to transform her ideas and creativity into tangible work projects.

About the role and you

This is a truly unique position. It is going to bring a new capacity to the great projects we run. You’ll be integrated into our talented and warm community of colleagues. What we need from the postholder are the creative skills to fully communicate Sam’s ideas and the work to a wide range of people and partners, and the organisational skills to support pacing and planning of projects, creating systems and processes to advance and document progress and learning. They will act as a kind of bridge, relaying Sam’s vision and ideas once they have been conceptualised to various project managers, partners, and other audiences. It’s important to say also that there are elements of some traditional PA support that are required.

If this is how your creativity operates – enabling bridges to be built and creating effective communications – then you might be the person Sam, and the projects, need.

The successful candidate may come from any of a wide array of relevant backgrounds, such as: creative writing, communications, public affairs, campaigning, advocacy, policy influencing, media work, etc. Their career to date could be any number of settings: from film or theatre to think-tanks, to NGOs or international development, to private companies, to research or academia etc. The bottom line is that we are open to where you have honed your communications and organisational skills, and we are excited to hear from you.

How to apply

Please download the candidate information pack (attached). The pack contains lots of information about the role and how to apply (by uploading your CV and a short video, together with a completed equal opportunities monitoring form). The closing date is 20 January 2025.

This role is all about making an impact — from creating exciting development opportunities to celebrating the hard work of our incredible Student Leaders (Academic Societies, Student Reps, School Community Organisers). No two days will be the same, so if you thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

You’ll also take the lead in organising Student Council meetings, helping Elected Officers deliver impactful updates and ensuring our student voice is heard loud and clear.
