Job description

Director

Overview

At our sanctuary (Finsbury Park, North London) for those in suicidal crisis, we offer a potentially transformative experience with a once-only 4-night stay at our non-medical, family-style house. Through respite, time and space for reflection and compassionate and nurturing care, our Volunteer Befrienders and staff team support an opportunity for the revival of hope and resilience.

Our values - trust, respect, openness, empathy, non-judgement, equity - are paramount in all our thoughts and actions.

  • Responsible for managing house administration, volunteer resources, fundraising, finance, IT support, media/external relations, and the recruitment of appropriate staff where necessary.

  • Natural qualities of compassion, empathy, calm, containment; a good listener.
  • General management experience covering business functions.
  • Leadership skills: team player, collaborative style of trust, openness, support.
  • Excellent communication skills in multiple contexts, e.g. with funders, referral partners, external events.

Desirable

  • Experience in working with, training and supervising volunteers.
  • Corporate Governance.
