Please note, this role may require up to 6-8 days a month working in our London office in Farringdon. 

About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.  When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave.  We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

About the Team:

The Organisation of the Future (OoF) programme is about transforming how we are as an organisation to increase our impact with and for children.    Together, we want to create a great experience at work for everyone - an environment that is safe and where we feel we belong, where we work towards a clear shared purpose, with flatter structures and lighter systems.  An environment that inspires innovation and collaboration with greater autonomy and responsibility and that allows for flexibility, adaptability, and responsiveness to change whilst also delivering value where it matters most.

Four interconnected principles guide us: agile, adult, experience and iterative, providing us with clarity into what we want our organisation to be.

 The Organisation of the Future programme is now part of SCUK's new strategy, under our Culture of Impact goal.

To deliver to our new strategy, we are currently implementing a change programme, the Refocus programme, which started in 2024 and will run throughout 2025 and beyond in terms of implementing the changes. Different areas of the organisations are being re-designed and significant Organisation Development support will be needed as areas, teams and colleagues transition to new ways of working and organising.

• Co- designing products and co-facilitating multiple spaces with other colleagues, bringing OD specialism, knowledge and experience to compliment theirs.

• Being an active member of the Organisation of the Future OD group and of the Refocus OD transition support team.

• Demonstrable and significant OD knowledge, skills and experience at all levels of an organisation, from individual to team, group and wider systems interventions.

• Significant knowledge, skills and experience of group and team development, with multiple teams and organisations, including through change. 

• Deep understanding and awareness of diversity, equity and inclusion, and demonstrable experience of integrating DEI in OD interventions. 

• Knowledge and experience of working with teams and organisations moving towards less hierarchical structures and adopting self-management and an agile mindset an advantage.

• A high level of self and interpersonal awareness.

• Excellent relationship building and collaboration skills and demonstrable experience, across multiple teams, groups, and the wider organisation, and with diverse colleagues, people managers and Directors and senior leaders.

• Experience in supporting others' development, such as through coaching and/or mentoring .

We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss.

This is the reason why we are all here.

Our Bids and Tendering team are the golden thread between our current support and the future opportunities we pursue, driving growth and making a lasting impact. Join us to be part of a dedicated team shaping the future of our services.

It’s all about the people

The support we provide is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We’re here to enable people to live the life they choose, in their own way, every day.

As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, you’ll collaborate with cross-departmental teams, to understand how we can all come together to tender for, deliver on, and exceed, the contractual requirements for each tender, building this into a cohesive strategy for ongoing growth and development.

Your people-led leadership approach will inspire and empower your team to continue to excel in delivering high-quality content for bids and tender processes.

Imagine peeling back the layers to discover what's holding them back so that you can unlock their potential for astonishing progress.  Imagine having your own group of young people to support who will turn to you for that one-on-one support, guidance, and maybe just a nudge in the right direction.

Safety always comes first, so keeping a watchful eye on safeguarding, health and safety, and data protection is part of the deal! You’ll be the guiding force that empowers our delivery partners and service providers to reach for the stars.  Together, we will ensure every young person embarks on a remarkable journey, experiencing the extraordinary and achieving the dreams they've aspired to.

You’ll lead personal development sessions that take our foundation programmes to new heights. Whether it's in person or via a virtual session on MS Teams, some of these activities will be in the great outdoors and enjoying our wonderful green spaces. You won’t be sitting behind a screen every day, there will be some travel required to relevant local areas to support the delivery of these exciting programmes as well as programme visits.  However, it’s not all fun and games, keeping things on point means meticulously recording info and data about our young superstars, volunteers, or partners. It's all about making sure every step of their journey aligns perfectly with our funding contracts.

At The Trust, we're strong advocates for fostering an inclusive workplace where everybody feels seen, and it would be fantastic if you share that passion too.  Your mission? Making a positive impact by implementing a local action plan that harmonises with our big-picture EDI goals.

Would you like to be part of the coolest team in town, collaborating with our Outreach and Marketing legends and our friendly customer service team here at The King's Trust? Together, we'll ensure that our young people get onboarded and engaged in our programmes safely and with style.

Dive deep to uncover any barriers that stand in their way, helping to remove those barriers to enable them to shine and propelling them on their journey towards amazing outcomes. Responsible for a group of young people, for one-on-one support and guidance or just gently pointing them in the right direction. You'll be on a mission to assist with travel expenses and find clever ways to handle their other commitments. You'll champion their support and learning needs with employers, and you'll be the ultimate liaison, working alongside partners like the job centre to ensure that nothing stands in the way of their success!

You’ll also be the guiding light for our delivery partners and service providers as we want them to deliver the best experience and outcomes for our young people. High-fives all around! Roll up your sleeves and deliver employability sessions directly to our incredible young people. You'll also help our Delivery Partners and volunteers do the same, both in person and virtually through our trusty MS Teams. When we're doing things face-to-face, you’ll need to hit the road and be there in person to help with programme delivery or programme visits to make sure all is running as smoothly as possible.

And if that’s not enough to keep you busy, you’ll also be keeping meticulous records of information and data on our young people, volunteers, and partners. It's all about making sure every step of their journey is accurately reflected in our systems so that it complies with our funding contracts.

We are a massive advocate of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion so it would be amazing if you could lead the charge in creating an environment where everyone feels seen, by implementing a local action plan that supports our big-picture EDI goals. Let's make positive change happen!

Be ready for anything and everything. Alongside all these fantastic responsibilities, you might find yourself wearing different hats and rocking them like a pro, this could even include deputising when the need arises.

Join the King's Trust Team and let’s make magic happen!
