Executive Director

c.£60,000 pa + benefits

Location: London EC2, though consideration could be given for some remote working

The International Lawyers Project (ILP) was founded in 2005. We facilitate the provision of pro bono legal expertise from our volunteers to government agencies, to civil society groups, to communities, and others, principally, but not exclusively, in Africa. Our key thematic focuses are to combat bribery and corruption, support tax reform, and curb illicit financial flows – areas in which our staff and volunteers have deep technical knowledge and experience – to promote economic justice.

We are client-led and respond to requests from local actors to build their capacity, whether through formal training sessions, workshops, representation, or advice, or through extended engagement and mentoring for communities, officials, and civil society representatives. To provide this assistance we draw on a bank of highly qualified lawyers from the UK and other countries who offer their services for free. As a charity, our ultimate aim is to help our clients to create long-lasting change in some of the world's poorest regions. 

The role of Executive Director is a key appointment within ILP. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, you will undertake full direction of this small but highly effective organisation. This involves managing a small team of staff and interns and a wider network of volunteers, maintaining our reputation as a provider of high-quality pro-bono legal advice, developing the strategic vision and new areas of work, consolidating and strengthening ILP’s institutional basis through effective fundraising, as well as nurturing partnerships with all our stakeholders.

We are seeking a person with experience of innovative applications of the law to achieve policy reform in a sustainable development context; deep expertise in one of our programmatic areas; as well as proven experience in fundraising, budgeting, and programme management. 

Key responsibilities:

Strategic Planning and Leadership

• Develop and implement a strategic vision for ILP’s work, building on its existing focus areas and developing new themes, in collaboration with the Board of Trustees and programme staff
• Lead on the formulation of new initiatives in line with that vision, as approved by the Trustees
• Manage fundraising efforts and take responsibility for all stages of the fundraising, building relationships with foundations, private law firms, and individual donors
• Identify new opportunities for ILP to develop its portfolio, expand our bank of volunteers and the clients that we have assisted
• Build on our reputation for providing high quality legal support, including by ensuring that goals are met and that quality of delivery is maintained
• Represent ILP in a variety of fora, ensuring our work is communicated to key stakeholders.

Programme Management

• Deliver high quality programmatic work for at least one of ILP’s thematic priorities
• Oversee/manage/support ILP programmes and staff, ensuring appropriate monitoring and evaluation
• Build relationships with existing and new clients and volunteers
• Oversee the implementation of policies and guidelines for operations
• Oversee all employment obligations including payroll, pensions, employment entitlements
• Oversee the ILP budget and budget process.

Are you suitably qualified for this position and looking for a new challenge? Maybe you are a lawyer and keen to use your experience and knowledge within an organisation working internationally? Or perhaps you have been working for a civil society organisation, and would like the opportunity to bring legal expertise to strengthen the capacity of reform-minded government officials or national organisations to bring lasting change. Whilst this role is advertised as a full-time, permanent position, there could be flexibility for a 4 day week, rather than 5 and this will be discussed at interview stage.

The Job Description and Person Specification is attached.

If you are interested in joining ILP, please send a covering letter with a detailed account of how your skills and experience make you a suitable candidate for this position, along with your CV by email to our Advising Consultant, Sue Sowerby. Sue will contact you to discuss the role in more detail.

About the role

The culture of the National Extension College (NEC) is one of friendliness, hard work, informality and respect. We are fortunate to work with staff, authors, tutors, directors and trustees of the very highest calibre. We know that the traditional UK model of education delivery based within schools and colleges doesn’t meet the needs of all, and we are proud to support more than 4,000 students each year to successfully achieve their qualifications and progress into higher education, further training or employment.

Our success is not based on traditional external quality metrics – it is based on students achieving what they set out to achieve.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the most senior staff member, reporting to the Council of Trustees, and leads all aspects of our organisational strategy, finance, risk, commercial development, and the delivery of transformative education through an expert and committed staff team.

With our current CEO’s long and successful career with the organisation coming to an end, we look forward to a new CEO building on Dr Ros Morpeth’s legacy and developing a new strategy for NEC that will see us enhance our offer to students and customers, and extend our national reach and overall presence in the sector.

Who we are looking for

Having been saved from administration by the incumbent CEO in 2011, following NEC’s merger with another organisation, our initial focus was one of survival. We have come a long way since that time.

Now in a much stronger position and through having strategically adapted to market demands, we now look to appoint a new CEO who can build a new strategy and see NEC further develop its national impact and grow our market share.

First and foremost, our next CEO must be an educationalist and truly believe in our charitable mission. You will have expert knowledge of digital learning pedagogies, an entrepreneurial mind-set, and the ability to balance business and partnership development with high-quality education and support for our students.

Whilst this may be your first CEO role, we do expect you to have experience of strategic planning and reporting to a non-executive board. Our Council of Trustees are experts in their fields and have high expectations of the new CEO’s ability to manage future risks, take a strategic view of the opportunities available in the sector, and develop business plans and proposals to help inform long-term decision making.

The National Migraine Centre is the only national charity that provides clinical treatments for migraine sufferers and cluster headache patients. We are a Centre of Excellence which has been in operation for over 40 years, with a current turnover of £400k, an administrative staff of six with nine clinicians.

Our goal is to help our patients regain control of their lives, to manage this condition rather than allowing it to dictate their life. We get excellent patient feedback, with many citing their treatment at the Centre as life changing.

Due to the retirement of our current CEO, we are looking for a new Chief Executive. You will be joining us at an exciting and challenging period in our development.

Over the last few months, the team has successfully pivoted our services to be almost entirely remote, whilst maintaining excellent patient feedback. The new Chief Executive will need to grow the organisation, maintain quality and look at new operating models. You will need to have excellent people and leadership skills to manage our diverse stakeholders. You will have a willingness to get involved in all aspects to the operations and take a hands-on approach when required. The NMC remains a small charity and therefore you will need to focus on current operations as well as future growth.

We are looking for someone with:

• Substantial leadership experience within the healthcare sector, ideally NHS and charity exposure.
• An understanding of the issues involved in running a small charity and willingness to get involved in all aspects of the Centre’s work.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to be an effective spokesperson for the Centre
• Financial and budgetary management experience.
• Experience of the NHS Commissioning process and working with Clinical Commissioning Groups would be ideal.
• Excellent people skills to motivate a small team of staff to grow the organisation.
• An affinity with the plight of headache and migraine sufferers and a passion for the National Migraine Centre’s mission to support their needs.
