Salary band: £50,000-£60,000 per annum, depending on experience

Reporting to: CEO

Key leadership role within a dynamic growing charity transforming young people’s lives in London.

We are seeking a dynamic and motivated leader to join our Senior Leadership team as Chief Operating Officer / Head of Central Resources. This is a key role managing and continuously improving our central operations, enabling the Trust to maximise our impact. Genuine passion for social mobility and creating opportunities for young people is essential as well as a high level of personal responsibility and ambition to drive the Trust’s long-term success.

Construction Youth Trust is an ambitious, impact-led charity whose mission is to inspire and enable young people to overcome barriers and achieve their full career potential. Social mobility is at the heart of our work, and we prioritise working with young people from low-income backgrounds, under-represented groups and those who are facing significant barriers to employment.

We help young people recognise their potential, develop their confidence and skills and discover career opportunities never previously presented to them. Through our long-standing partnerships with employers in the construction and built environment sector (over 200+ across London), we connect young people to relatable role models, world of work experiences and ultimately rewarding jobs and apprenticeships. The built environment is at the forefront of the drive to achieve net zero and future economic growth, offering young people substantial opportunity for career progression.

Scope of role

We recognise the scope of this role is wide and we are open to working with the successful candidate to flex the span of their initial responsibilities dependent on their individual strengths.

We are open to considering outstanding candidates with ‘potential’ and investing in their growth and development, so long as they demonstrate motivation and willingness to learn as a charity leader.

The final Job Description and Job Title will be agreed with the successful candidate. We have included a wide salary range to reflect this flexibility, and the salary offered to the successful candidate will be dependent on experience and level of responsibility.

Nightingale Hammerson is an independent charity and a leading specialist in the care of older people. We have served the Jewish community since 1840. We have two care homes, Nightingale House in Clapham and Hammerson House in East Finchley.

The Role

Are you deeply driven to help others? Do you have the desire to do this in a creative and personal manner? Being an engagement lead may well be the job you have been looking for.

It is a human need to engage with the world and with each other in a meaningful way. But what does this engagement look like? There are as many answers to that question as there are people in the world. For those who are older and disabled it is a great challenge to maintain the relationships and activities that have supported them through life. As engagement leads at Hammerson House it is our challenge to help them do so and, taking a person centred approach, results in a wide and ever shifting variety of activities and individual interventions for our residents. We are a large and innovative organisation that is always trying to develop new ways to foster community and connect our residents with what matters to them.

We are specifically looking for a new member of the team to work with our residents living with dementia and while this does present particular challenges the rewards are also particularly high.

This is a job of tremendous variety and possibilities and requires individuals who have the energy, people skills and logistical know-how to bring the right ideas to fruition. Experience of working in care is not a necessity and we would welcome candidates with a diverse range of people-facing experiences and those with creative backgrounds. Experience of supporting people with dementia or other neurological conditions would be desirable.
