The expert authority on breast cancer research who is making breakthroughs and driving forward progress. And a vehicle for change, acting now to make sure anyone affected by breast cancer gets the best possible treatment and care.

We believe that we can change the future of breast cancer and make sure that, by 2050, everyone diagnosed with the disease lives – and is supported to live well. But we need to act now.

Breast Cancer Now is an inclusive employer committed to developing a diverse workforce.

Closing date 5pm on Thursday, 7 October 2021.

The Charity is looking to appoint a Director to oversee the next stage in the charity’s development.  With the current interim Director now moving on, this is an opportunity for a dynamic, committed and experienced individual to join the charity and shape and deepen our work and impact in the Borough of Hackney.

Founded 25 years ago, Hackney Night Shelter provides routes out of homelessness for people in need in Hackney by working with the community to provide warmth and shelter to homeless guests and to support them in rebuilding their lives. 

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the charity has successfully moved away from a roving night shelter model to a static building-based model in the Borough (one female only shelter and one mixed gender shelter). Formerly known as Hackney Winter Night Shelter, the charity is now a year round service supported by a small dedicated staff team and over 250 volunteers.

Specifically, you will:

• Work with the Board of Trustees to realise HNS strategic objectives, demonstrate impact and deliver real value to the sector
• Spearhead the search and secure a new long term shelter venue by June 2022
• Be responsible for ensuring effective operational delivery through management of a small team of staff and volunteer resources
• Oversee organisational fundraising (trusts, foundations and statutory funding focus) and donation management
• Sustain and build strong strategic and working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders (council members and officers, funders, supporters, faith and community leaders, and the local business community)

In order to be considered for this role you will have previous senior management experience in the Charity sector and experience of working with vulnerable adults (ideally, but not necessarily within the homeless sector). You will have a strong knowledge of charity governance, excellent interpersonal skills, and experience of trusts/foundations fundraising.

The shelters are operational, and this is a client facing role, so while there is some flexibility for the successful candidate to work from home occasionally (up to 2 days per week), this role is predominantly hands on.

How to apply:

Hackney Doorways is committed to equality and diversity, and we encourage applications from all backgrounds but particularly from those who have lived experience of homelessness.

The Cares Family particularly welcomes applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, who are under-represented in our organisation. We are an equal opportunities employer and an anti-racist organisation committed to inclusion.

The Cares Family’s mission is to help people find connection in a disconnected age. Our objectives are to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst younger and older people alike; improve people’s connection, belonging, purpose and power in a changing world; and bring people together to reduce social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

Over the last decade our model has grown from a tiny idea in a single place into a national leader. Combined, North London Cares (founded in 2011), South London Cares (2014), Manchester Cares (2017), Liverpool Cares (2018) and East London Cares (2019), have connected some 23,000 older and younger neighbours to share over 600,000 interactions and 140,000 hours.

We’ve been improving individual lives and community togetherness for ten years, and The Cares Family has more recently started to have an impact at the systemic and cultural levels too. Our strategy to do that is to consolidate our operations to ensure we make the biggest impact possible; to go deeper with our local intergenerational communities; and to spur a ripple effect connection across the UK with a suite of exciting new projects including The Multiplier which we started in 2021.

The Cares Family is therefore at a moment of opportunity to make an even bigger difference in the years ahead, and this is a key leadership and fundraising position that will help us to grow our income (our annual budget has grown from £0.75m to £2.5m in the last four years), impact and influence at pace.

During the pandemic, we have had an Acting Director of Development covering maternity leave. Now, as we reaffirm our strategy for the coming years, we are seeking a permanent Director of Development to help us meet our ambitious income targets in a continued time of uncertainty, to drive our income generation strategy, to lead and develop our fundraising team, to nurture key partnerships and to serve as a key figure in our Senior Leadership Team.

If that sounds like it could be you, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a task-based application process, so we are not asking applicants for CVs. To find out more information, including on how to apply for this role, please read the job description and the included application task descriptions on our website.

Deadline: 11:59pm on Tuesday 22nd September 2021.
