Head of UK Programmes

British Asian Trust • Full-time • London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom • 1w ago

About the British Asian Trust:

The British Asian Trust is a diaspora-led international development organisation, delivering high quality programmes in South Asia. Since our formation, we have reached the lives of over 18 million people across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka with high-impact interventions to address the subcontinent’s critical unmet needs in areas of livelihoods, mental health, education, child protection and conservation. We are now launching our first programmes to support the South Asian diaspora in the UK.

Role overview:

The Head of UK Programmes will play a central role in shaping and delivering our first-ever UK programmes strategy. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to lead impactful initiatives that bring together British Asian communities to tackle critical issues and drive lasting change.

British Asians make up nearly 9% of the UK population, yet too many face persistent health, economic and social challenges. As we start working in the UK we want to bring the same sense of innovation, possibility and disruption that has been so successful for us in South Asia.

Responsibilities:

The work will initially focus on health inequalities and later build towards a suite of programmes, focused on a range of issues that will change the lives of the South Asian diaspora in the UK.
We have a big vision and bold strategy. We need a strong, experienced leader to take us into this next chapter. You will be a self-starter who can turn this into a reality.
