This is a fantastic opportunity to lead and develop a brand-new, pioneering youth charity in Hammersmith and Fulham, committed to investing in its staff and volunteers and giving young people the opportunity to discover their passion and purpose. 

Position: Chief Executive Officer 

Salary: £57,500 – £62,500 per annum depending on experience 

Hours: Full time, permanent 

Location: Hammersmith and Fulham, London 

Benefits: Employer pension contribution, 25 days’ annual leave plus 8 bank holiday days 

Closing date: 9am, Monday 5 September 2022

Interviews: Telephone interviews w/c 5 September; first stage interviews 13 September (to be held face to face); this day will run like an assessment center and is likely to take half a day.

The strength of the charity comes from the diversity of the people within their vibrant network. They are proud that the Youth Zone teams reflect the communities they serve, and value people working together from a range of different backgrounds locally and nationally, and with different experiences, all with a shared passion for boosting the aspirations of young people across the country. Diversity brings innovation, fresh ideas and creativity, and we actively strive to create a culture that is truly inclusive and fair for all and where everyone in the team can be themselves and thrive.

About the role: 

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a national charity that believes all young people should have the opportunity to discover their passion and their purpose; to find out what they’ve got and where it could take them. This Chief Executive role is strategic, requiring effectiveness at a high level, yet at the same time it demands detailed and hands-on management. You will have responsibility for a revenue budget of £1.35m per annum and a state-of-the-art Youth Zone building.

As Chief Executive, your relationship with the Chair of the Board will be supportive and challenging, enabling you to deliver on-going success for the Youth Zone. 

Key responsibilities will include: 

• Working with the Chair and Board on the development of the strategic plan, together with the delivery of a robust funding plan to ensure the long-term sustainability of the charity 
• Establishing a vision to lead and inspire the team; supporting them to deliver a wide range of activities for young people
• Working with the local authority, the business community and other services providers to generate added benefits for young people and showcase the Youth Zone as an asset for the whole community 
• Demonstrating the charity’s values and a commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion 

About you: 

As an exceptional leader, motivated to improve young people’s lives for the better, you will have the ability to think strategically and develop a long-term vision, bringing with you a successful track record of developing organisations or large teams, proven experience of generating significant income and time spent in the voluntary sector and/or working with young people. Your communications and people management skills will be strong, together with an ability to build inclusive relationships and display excellent judgement and focus at all times. 

Although the successful candidate will be based in Hammersmith & Fulham when the Youth Zone is open in late 2023, they will spend the first 4 months working alongside an established team in one of our other London based Youth Zones.

Do you want to make life better for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse?

Galop, the UK’s LGBT+ anti-abuse charity, is seeking someone passionate about improving life for the LGBT+ community in the UK to be our new Executive Assistant.

Galop works directly with thousands of LGBT+ people who have experienced abuse and violence every year. We specialise in supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, and other forms of abuse including honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and so-called conversion therapies. We are a service run by LGBT+ people, for LGBT+ people, and the needs of our community are at the centre of what we do.

We run three national support helplines: for LGBT+ victims and survivors of domestic abuse, survivors of so-called “conversion therapy”, and LGBT+ people who have experienced hate crime. We provide advocacy services, both in London and nationally, for LGBT+ victims who need longer-term support. We are person-centred, empowerment-based, and trauma-informed – meaning our focus is always on helping our clients decide what is best for them and then supporting them through their journey.

We use what we learn through working on the frontlines with clients to work on national and local policy changes, to improve outcomes for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence. We build evidence through key pieces of research, like our upcoming report on LGBT+ experiences of sexual violence. We push for legislative change, improved statutory guidance for victims, and a better understanding of the needs of LGBT+ people around the country.

This brand new role will play a pivotal role in supporting Galop to achieve its mission to support LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence in the UK. You will provide administrative and project support to the CEO, as well as support the Chair of the Board and Deputy CEO as needed.

You will work closely with Galop’s CEO and the wider senior team to ensure the efficient and effective running of the executive office. You will proactively manage both internal and external demands, as well as work on key projects within the CEO’s priorities.

Due to the nature of the role, it is anticipated that this role will work mostly from the Galop building in central London, but can support one day a week working from home.

At Galop, we believe that life should be safe, just and fair for all LGBT+ people, and that includes our staff in the workplace. We believe in equity and understand the importance of inclusion for staff with a wide range of lived experiences. No matter your age, race, faith, orientation, gender identity, disability, or class, we want you to feel welcome here. To that end, Galop has a multi-year Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion plan in place, currently focusing on equity and inclusion for trans and BAMER members of staff. We are committed to listening and learning, and to constant improvement. We believe it is our job to make sure that all our staff, particularly those from minoritised backgrounds, feel welcome, safe, and able to thrive at Galop.
