A supportive and inclusive culture with regular team social events. We were voted one of Escape the City's Top 100 companies to 'escape' to in 2022

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. In our last staff survey, 100% of respondents said they would recommend Settle as a good place to work and 95% said they feel a sense of belonging at Settle.

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.

Over the next few years, Settle wants to bring the voices of care-experienced young people and our learning together to influence wider change. At the same time, we need to develop and deepen our delivery and funding networks and relationships, so that we can support more young people.

You’ll help us get the most out of our communications and engagement work, finding creative ways to meet more than one purpose – whether that’s a National Care Leavers Month event that engages both policy audiences and potential funders, a report for local authorities that helps change practice and recruit new partners, or a relationship with an influencer that boosts our profile and encourages more young people to access our support.

Reports to: Chief Executive

Line management: Senior Communications Officer

Salary: £44,500-£46,600. We review our pay scales every April in line with inflation.

Hours: Full time (35 hours per week) preferred, with attendance at external events outside core hours as needed from time to time. Part-time will be considered for the right candidate but we envisage at least 0.8FTE / 28 hours per week.

Contract: Permanent

Location: Hybrid working between our office in London Bridge and working from home – our standard expectation is at least 2 days a week of contact time (in the office or in external meetings / events). We have a monthly in person team meeting on a Wednesday.

Flexibility: Settle is committed to flexible working and will work with the successful candidate to agree mutually positive working arrangements.

We are seeking people with experience in one or more of the following areas:

Policy influencing and/or strategic communications

Support for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness

Support for people seeking asylum and refuge

Every few years, Settle agrees a strategy which outlines what we want to achieve, how we plan to do this (and what we won’t do), and how we’ll know whether we’re making progress. As a Trustee, you will work with the staff team to understand how we’re doing against this strategy, what we’re learning, what we can do next, and what else is happening that we need to consider. Based on this, you will agree Settle’s next strategy.

The deadline for applications is Sunday 11th October 2026.

We will hold interviews with Trustees, including at least one care-experienced Trustee, and members of Settle’s SLT on 16th and 21st October 2026.
