About Settle
Settle is an award-winning charity that breaks this cycle by supporting care-experienced young people as they move into their first home, helping them to confidently transition into independent living and thrive.
Our vision is for a 21st-century Britain where no young person is homeless, and all young people are given a fair chance to succeed.
We make this vision a reality by providing weekly coaching sessions that support young people in sustaining a tenancy, developing practical life skills and thriving as independent adults.
Our approach is holistic, flexible, and tailored to an individual’s changing needs – ultimately offering a consistent, transformative relationship that a young person can rely on.
All of our work is underpinned by our core values, and our programme has an annual success rate of 95%-100% — demonstrating that by focusing on early intervention and empowering care-experienced young people, we tackle a leading cause of youth homelessness before it happens.
About the role
This will be a significant appointment for us, as our current CEO and co-founder is moving on after providing us with ten years of incredible leadership.

About Contact
At Contact, we provide vital information, advice and support to parent carers with disabled children, across all four nations of the UK. Last year, we reached 413,000 families, helping parents to navigate the health, social care, education and welfare systems.
Parents tell us that our support has increased their confidence, helped them feel less alone, and made a huge difference to the support they receive. Our family finance support alone, on average, increases family incomes by £5,918 per year.
About the role
This is an exciting time for Contact. We are embarking on a new strategy, with an aim to end the battle parent carers face when accessing help and support for their family.
As a critical member of the Executive team, you will play a central part in delivering on that aim, and help Contact to grow our reach, profile and impact for families across the UK.

Overview and Summary
We are seeking to appoint an Advocacy and Communications Officer – a vital role for our 70-strong coalition during an exciting period for our work.
CJC is a broad coalition of NGOs, trade unions and law firms, encompassing a range of political and thematic priorities, from workers’ rights and modern slavery, to climate and the environment, global justice and the rights of women and girls, children and indigenous peoples. But what brings us together is a shared commitment to ending corporate impunity for human rights abuses and environmental destruction: in line with this, collaborative work for change alongside our partners is at the heart of all we do.
We’re at a crucial point in a campaign which spans advocacy, public communications and engagement with businesses, and seeks to ensure the implementation of a ‘Business, Human Rights and Environment Act’ in the UK. This legislation would help end corporate abuses of human rights and the environment, and make it easier for victims to access justice. At an exciting juncture for the campaign, the successful applicant will play a central role in shaping it and driving it forward, working alongside our civil society partners to do so.
Please note, applicants must hold the right to work in the UK to be considered for this role.
CJC is an equal opportunities employer committed to refining anti-oppressive practises in its work. We particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in the business and human rights sector.
See attached document for a detailed JD and person specification
What we’re looking for
The successful candidate will be highly motivated and have a real commitment to campaign for change on corporate accountability for human rights abuses. You’ll be enthusiastic and full of ideas, able to juggle multiple deadlines and tasks, while being ready to show initiative and take ownership of your area of work.
You don’t need to be a policy expert on our issues, but you’ll need to have the ability to rapidly gain an understanding of what we work on and why, and advocate for these issues to Parliamentarians and civil servants.
Facilitating joint work alongside our coalition partners is fundamental to everything we do, so we’re looking for someone who already has experience of working in coalitions or in the not-for-profit sector - whether in the UK charity sector or elsewhere - and who will be at ease regularly communicating with other organisations and facilitating meetings which can have multiple organisations in attendance. We need someone who recognises and understands the value of civil society groups collaborating effectively, and is good communicator comfortable working with stakeholders at multiple levels.
You will update and ensure the delivery of the advocacy strategy for the campaign, leading regular calls with coalition partners, so it’s crucial that you’re comfortable with and enjoy collaborative work with others. You’ll drive forward our engagement with policy makers, thinking up strategies for engagement and potential approaches. You will be supported by a team and engaged Board, as well as coalition partners, but will be encouraged to take ownership of your areas of work and develop proposals for action.
