Valuing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
We are dedicated to being a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging and where diversity is celebrated.
To support this, we have regular staff satisfaction and wellbeing surveys to ensure everyone’s voices are heard and the responses help shape us as an employer and as a team. We recently ran a workshop to explore what belonging is at Settle which sparked some fascinating discussions which we will continue reflecting on.
We have targets for representation of various groups in our staff team and on our Board because we want our organisation to reflect the community we work in. You can see our most recent diversity data here.
We have an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion working group who meet regularly to move our ambitious EDI strategy forward. You can read more about our achievements and challenges here.

Trust and Foundation Manager
Are you looking for a role in an organisation where trust and foundation income is already well set up, has current track record in income and some multi-year commitments going forward?
The deadline for this position is rolling and we are reviewing applications as we receive them. In the first instance please send your CV to Charlotte Wilmot, Director, Eardley Wilmot, charlotte@eardleywilmot.co.uk who is supporting us on this appointment and answer any questions you might have about the role and the team.
Communications Officer
As Communications Officer at Settle you'll play a crucial role raising awareness about Settle's life-changing work, and providing a platform for young care-experienced people to share their stories and promote change in the care system long-term. You’ll be full of content ideas and keen to make them happen in a small team and growing community.
Communications Officer
This role is key to our success in communicating with our core audiences – whether that’s young people who’ve taken part (or would like to take part) in the Settle Programme, or potential partners and supporters of our organisation.
This role is for a communications all-rounder, who might have some experience working with social media, digital communications and content creation, either in the third-sector or beyond. You don’t need to consider yourself an expert in every area of comms – in fact, we’d love to find someone with interest and potential across a broad range of communications areas, from social media storytelling to press and PR, with room to develop and grow as Settle expands.
Reports to: Senior Communications Manager
Start Date: As soon as possible
Salary: £28,704 - £32,656 (dependent on experience)
Hours: Full-time, but we may consider part-time for the right candidate (28 hours minimum)
Contract: Permanent
Location: Hybrid working between our office in Tobacco Dock, and working from home, with occasional external events and meetings with partners
Closing date: 11.30pm on Sunday 2nd March
