Hazelwood is an independent co-educational Prep School for children aged between 4 and 13 years of age.  It has a linked nursery (on a separate site 2 miles away), The Nursery and Early Years, which caters for children between the ages of 3 months and 4 years.  The school has a rich history spanning over 125 years.  In that time, many generations of the same families have passed through its doors on their way to some of the UK’s leading Senior Schools and Universities. There is a strong sense of affinity with the school in the local community.  The nearest town, Oxted, is situated one mile away and has excellent mainline rail links into London.  The M25 is easily accessible. 

In September 2020 we will have almost 600 children across the two sites.  The Prep School is situated in 25 acres of grounds with phenomenal views over the North Downs.  The school boasts some wonderful facilities (with plans for more in 2020) which are open to use by the local community after school hours as part of a developing Lettings Programme.

The Role

The school is looking to recruit an Enterprise Manager who can, whilst working within the boundaries of the School’s vision and brand values, develop a programme of recognised and ground-breaking initiatives to develop new or extend existing revenue streams.

These may include, but not be restricted to:

An enhanced Lettings Programme making wider and more creative use of existing facilities.

A connection with the school’s alumni in order to re-engage with past pupils and to involve them in the life of the school, past, present and future.

An opportunity to harness the school’s human resources and innovative approach to teaching and learning for the benefit of pupils overseas

A report has been commissioned by the school which is available, as a starting point, for the successful candidate to review and develop. 

The Enterprise Manager is a newly created role for the school.  The successful candidate will work closely with members of the Senior Leadership Team and the Board of Governors.

The Successful Candidate

Will be someone with experience of working within the fund-raising sector, and ideally within schools or the education sector with a proven track record in generating revenue from alternative business streams.

You will boast a creative mind balanced by the ability to be analytical and consider the finer detail.

You will have a detailed grasp on developing budgets and financial plans showing required investment and possible returns on that investment.

You will be a convincing orator, a persuasive negotiator and credible sales person.

You will find building and maintaining relationships based on trust, honesty and integrity, comes naturally to you.

You should respond well to targets; those of your own setting and those set by others and be able to demonstrate a delivery against high expectations.

You should relish the opportunity of navigating unchartered waters and of making a difference.

You should love working in an environment which exists for the benefit of educating young people and should see their progress as your motivation to excel in your role. 

You should be as happy working front of house as in the backroom delivery.

The Enterprise Manager will be expected to uphold and actively promote the Hazelwood Behaviour Competencies of Big Picture Thinking, Communication, Adaptability & Flexibility, Building Relationships, Planning & Organisation, Professionalism and Teamwork.

Profile

In addition, the profile of a successful Enterprise Manager is likely to demonstrate qualities of:

Do you share our passion for supporting people with neuro-disabilities? Do you have a clinical background as a therapist, social worker or nurse? Would you welcome the opportunity to serve as our new CEO?

If you do, Integrated Neurological Services (INS) would like to hear from you.

Integrated Neurological Services (INS) is a unique charity. Founded in 1993, we offer long-term, holistic support to people with neuro disabilities, in particular Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke.

We work closely with the NHS and local authorities to bridge the gap in their support services to people with neuro disabilities and we maintain support for people once active NHS input has ended. INS have contracts in Hounslow and Richmond providing health and wellbeing preventative services as well as supporting carers.

INS have developed a reputation for achievement and innovative approaches to integrated care in the community. We are passionate about providing support to ensure all clients receive ongoing, long-term professional support tailored to their needs. Our multidisciplinary team use an integrated model of care to encourage self-help and, through rehabilitation, education and support, enable people to manage their condition, to live as fully and independently as possible within their communities and achieve the best possible quality of life for them and their carers. 

We have also recently reached an important milestone, our 25'" anniversary, which provided us with the opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved and what we hope to achieve moving forward.

Following the recent decision by our previous CEO to leave INS to take up a new position closer to where he lives, the Board took the decision to appoint an Interim to provide oversight whilst we appoint to the substantive post.

Our new CEO will preferably be a therapist, social worker or nurse who can provide INS with the visionary leadership and networking skills to champion our ethos and continue taking us forward. Their priorities will be to champion and lead our clinical work, continue our local partnership working and look to increase funding by exploring opportunities in surrounding areas.

They will be expected to be ambitious and entrepreneurial, bring energy and a vision. They will have the ability to communicate the work, success and ambition of INS and be able to lead and motivate people effectively.

Join the friendly Carers’ Hub team and make a lasting difference to the lives of unpaid carers in Lambeth.   You will have the experience and skills to manage a small local charity and have an appetite for getting involved in strategic planning. 

Carers’ Hub plays a vital role in Lambeth, supporting the many unpaid carers across the borough with 1-1 and peer support, signposting, monthly forums, training, workshops and social activities. We are a charity with ambition, a big heart, and an outsized impact.

This is an opportunity to lead a talented and dedicated staff team as we enter the next phase of our development.  Carers’ Hub Lambeth was only established as an independent organisation in July 2018, having previously been the Lambeth division of a much larger charity which closed. We have achieved a lot since then in what has been an exciting and dynamic time. New finance and HR systems, an excellent relationship with the local authority and partner organisations, a switch to the cloud, a new database, 9 new team members, a new Board of Trustees and a rebrand mean that the key building blocks are in place for future success.

Carers’ Hub is entering a period of consolidation, but there is still much to do.  As the CEO (maternity cover) you will provide leadership and stability to the staff team ensuring we maintain the high quality of our core services, build on existing work streams to strengthen our organisational processes and work with our engaged and supportive Board of Trustees to develop a long-term strategy.

We welcome requests for informal chats to find out more about us as an organisation and the role.   For more details, including how to get in touch, please see the Application Pack

Interviews will take place on Wednesday 15th April, 2020.
