The programme will also create a vital and tight[1]knit community of Black British entrepreneurs, with valuable, regular opportunities to network and share experiences, successes and challenges.
We are looking for someone with a track record of managing accelerators, who has extensive project management experience and who understands the mindset of a Black start up entrepreneur.

You will be a strong team player with the ability to establish strong relationships, manage complex programmes, identify and manage risks and also manage budgets. We also need someone who understands that it is lack of access to the opportunities to create family and community wealth that drives disadvantage in our community.

In return we offer flexible, hybrid working from day one, a 5% employer pension contribution, a generous leave, maternity and parental leave package together with a strong focus on wellbeing and the chance to be part of the task of dismantling structural racism.

The Listening Place (TLP) was conceived in 2015 and set up in 2016 in London, by a group of volunteers with a great deal of experience in supporting people struggling with suicidal thoughts and feelings, led by Sarah Anderson CBE.
They had recognised that there is little on going face-to-face support available for many people with chronic suicidal feelings, and that some of this support can be given by well trained and professionally supervised volunteers.
TLP’s Vision
Anyone who, for whatever reason feels life is no longer worth living, can find a place with a warm and open listener who will give them time.
TLP’s Mission
To provide those who feel life is no longer worth living with a safe place to come and talk freely and confidentially to warm, non-judgemental volunteers who are willing to engage with their feelings and support them through their darkest times.
TLP’s Values
Caring, Collaborative, Courageous, Resolute, Respectful
The charity now seeks to appoint a Head of Finance & Operations who has a strong affinity with TLP’s aims and objectives to help take it forward in the next stage of its evolution.
Background to the Role
From the initial concept eight years ago, TLP has expanded rapidly. It now operates out of three sites in Central London (Meade Mews in Pimlico, Hunter Street in Bloomsbury, & Shepherd’s Bush Road, which is also the Head Office). There are plans to open a fourth site in the City (ideally close to Liverpool Street) within the next twelve months. Income for the Financial year to March 2024 is expected to be in excess of £1.5m.
The back-office functions have expanded to reflect this growth, and the Board now believe that an experienced Head of Finance & Operations is needed to help realise the ambitious plans they have for TLP. This is a newly created role.
The Role

As a result, TLP is well-positioned to continue its progress in providing face-to-face support to even more Londoners who feel that life is no longer worth living.
The Head of Finance & Operations will support the COO in professionalising TLP, laying the foundations for its future growth and overseeing the commissioning of its fourth site.
