This requires a disciplined approach to governance, compliance, and risk management, ensuring that all activities are conducted with integrity, transparency, and accountability.

The Legal & Compliance function plays a central role in supporting this framework — working closely with senior leadership and trustees to ensure that the organisation meets its legal and regulatory obligations while enabling effective and responsible delivery of its objectives.

This is an opportunity to join a values-driven organisation where strong governance is not simply a requirement, but a core part of how we operate.

You will work closely with internal stakeholders across the organisation, providing practical, risk-based advice and helping to embed a culture of compliance and accountability. This role is particularly suited to an individual with a strong legal foundation who is looking to apply their expertise in a dynamic, purpose-driven environment.
