Margaret Pyke Trust has been a leader in contraception and sexual health for over 50 years. Our vision is a world where everyone can choose freely whether and when to have children, and how many: for the benefit of all people and the planet.

Our mission is to promote sexual and reproductive health knowledge, rights and services, for the benefit of all people, especially women and girls, and to support sustainable development.

Today, in the UK, we train doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals on contraception and sexual health, providing the broadest range of contraception and sexual health training in the UK. Globally, we promote the critical importance of removing barriers to family planning for both environmental and human health. To this end we develop projects with partners in low- and middle-income countries, to improve sexual and reproductive health, focussing on family planning information and services.

The new role of Head of Operations and People has been established to provide the additional capacity necessary as we work towards our ambition of expanding our reach and influence. As we grow we will need to ensure that the management of the resources we have available are used to best effect in pursuit of our objectives and longer-term ambitions. Operating in compliance with ever changing regulation for charities is a fundamental requirement in the discharge of our duties. Growth brings the need for organisational development to embed new ways of working, which is a job for winning hearts and minds as we evolve.
