Summary
Are you an experienced leader in the support or advice sector? Want to take your skills to a national level and shape impactful services across the UK?
Clean Slate is looking for a strategic, data-informed Deputy Head of Programmes to help us tackle poverty and reduce inequalities for people on low incomes - wherever they are in the UK.
This is a rare opportunity to drive real change at scale, supporting regional teams, enhancing impact reporting, and helping us improve lives through our innovative Quids in! programmes.
About the Role
We’ve developed a system that works, and now we’re scaling it. Our frontline Money Coaches support people to improve their financial wellbeing, manage cost-of-living pressures, and move towards employment. As Deputy Head of Programmes, you’ll play a critical leadership role in ensuring consistent, high-quality delivery across regions.
You’ll work directly with Team Leaders, supporting and challenging them to build strong local teams. You’ll help streamline operations, promote safeguarding best practice, and ensure our data and insights directly influence service design and national strategy. You’ll also deputise for the Head of Programmes, ensuring the continuity and accountability of our work.
This is not an entry point into the sector, we’re looking for someone who already understands the landscape, the language, and the lived experiences of our service users.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has significant experience in programme or service delivery in the advice, support, or community development sectors
- Has successfully led or supervised delivery teams, preferably in multiple locations
- Understands the challenges faced by low-income households and how services can address them
- Uses data confidently to monitor performance, identify risks, and drive improvement
- Brings strong safeguarding knowledge and confidence in leading safe practice
- Is skilled at building collaborative working relationships across internal and external stakeholders
- Communicates with clarity and empathy, in writing and in person
- Is highly organised, solutions-focused, and ready to step up when needed
You’ll need to bring sector insight — and in return, we’ll give you the platform to influence, develop and grow.
Why Join Us?
- You’ll lead change that directly improves lives
- You’ll help us scale our model to reach more people across the UK
- You’ll join a mission-led team that’s serious about making an impact
- We offer a flexible, supportive workplace that values diversity and inclusion
We’ll invest in your development and involve you in strategic decision-making
