About the Job

An opportunity to be part of a dynamic social change charity, working at scale across the UK and internationally.

Good Things Foundation is the UK’s leading digital and social inclusion charity. Our mission is a world where everyone can benefit from digital. Through our Online Centres Network of hyperlocal partners, we are supporting people and communities to overcome some of the most pressing social challenges they are facing through digital.

Since 2010, we’ve helped over 2.4 million people to improve their lives using digital, driving positive outcomes from employment through to health and wellbeing.

We are looking for an individual who is collaborative and communicative both internally and externally, and someone who always delivers what they say they will. You’ll embrace change, and help us to bring our team with us. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment, while also bringing order and focus to complex situations. You will embody our culture and continue to support and embed this across the organisation. You’ll guide the organisation as we continually change and evolve – growing and extending our impact. You will have outstanding organisational and leadership abilities – a demonstrable passion and commitment for continuous improvement and for human motivation and empathy. In addition, you will be excellent at building relationships across teams and you will have the ability to create trust.

24 February (midnight): deadline for any applications
28 February and 1 March: initial telephone interviews for longlisted candidates (approximately 30 minutes)
6th or 8th March: competency based interviews for shortlisted candidates (Skype – approximately one hour). There will be an online psychometric test for candidates to complete prior to the competency based interview
15 March: assessment and interview day for shortlisted candidates. (Sheffield – all day)
