Job description

This is a new position and a great opportunity to help lead a well-respected national charity, dedicated to making lives better for people with eczema and their families. The post-holder will work closely with, and deputise for, the Society’s chief executive Andrew Proctor.

You will need some solid fundraising experience and skills to lead our income generation, and a willingness to turn your hand to a wide range of other things. An interest in digital is really important.

The role will suit someone who is proactive and enjoys variety, and has the confidence to use their own initiative. You’re also likely to be motivated by the opportunity to develop your leadership skills and experience.

We are passionate about improving the quality of life for people with eczema and raising awareness of the condition. You would join our small, friendly team based at the charity’s office in Camden, north London. There is flexibility to split hours between office/home.

We are looking for an outstanding leader to join us as Chief Executive Officer to build on the success of our members in protecting their employees from domestic abuse. We are currently reaching over 6 million employees and this is a unique opportunity to work with some of the UK’s largest employers, partners and supporters to grow the employer response to domestic abuse in the UK.

Some background…

EIDA enables employers to take action on domestic abuse by raising awareness among employers and their employees, supporting those affected and providing support and education to help perpetrators stop.

EIDA Vision - Every employer taking action on domestic abuse.

EIDA Brand Tag Line - Domestic abuse. It’s all our business.

EIDA Mission - To bring together the experience, expertise, and best practice of employers and partners so that all employers across the UK can support any of their employees affected by domestic abuse.

Together with our partner organisations in the sector we have developed innovative ways to bring employers together and equip them with the necessary resources, tools and skills. We believe that every one of our growing membership of over 800 employers is critical to that mission.

Sound interesting? Then please read on…

As CEO, working closely with our Board, you will be responsible for promoting and influencing this national response to domestic abuse. You will encourage employers to do more to support their people in their workplaces and communities.

Are you someone with proven experience of strategic leadership? Are you commercially astute and a natural fundraiser? Do you understand how to effectively bridge the needs of private and non-profit sectors? These skills will be essential in your role as EIDA CEO as you deliver on our established strategy for achieving growth in our reach and impact. You will need the ability to promote the business case for employer action on domestic abuse and secure funds for EIDA’s ongoing development. Your strong business acumen and hands on, practical approach will be invaluable as you develop a financially sustainable business model for our organisation.

You will be experienced in business and an enthusiastic network builder who has tried and tested communication and relationship building skills. As well as being adept at engaging people at all levels, you will be a convincing partner and influencer at C-suite executive level across private, public and third sectors. Your dynamic and creative leadership will motivate staff, members, partners and supporters to join our mission.

What’s in it for you?

Making a genuine difference to the lives of others every day, you’ll get to work with our dedicated team and have the satisfaction of being instrumental in shaping our success. You’ll be a major influencer in a UK wide network of corporate leaders, Government departments and prominent leaders in the private and non-profit sectors.

We offer flexibility in how we work, a competitive salary, 25 days holiday and pension pro rata (employer contribution 5%).

Hours - 3, 4 or 5 days, we're flexible - talk to us about what would work for you and how you can structure your work to bring the best value to EIDA

Location - Mostly based in central London, though, for  the right individual, we will consider remote working from anywhere in the UK if you are willing to travel.

Support - EIDA’s Board is currently supported by a small team of part-time remote workers and volunteers which we anticipate will need to be increased as funds allow.

We are delighted to be partnering with The Avenues Youth Project, a ground-breaking and award-winning charity based in North Westminster, to support the search for their next CEO.

The Avenues is one of London's leading youth charities and has over 40 years of experience, with an excellent track record, and exceptionally strong links with the local community. As holders of the Gold Level Quality Mark, they are recognised by London Youth as providers of the highest possible standards of youth work. The Avenues is a special place - staff and youth centre users talk of "magic", with generations of families having their lives touched by the work of the charity. The trusted professional staff deliver relevant and inspiring activities for young people to learn in an informal setting, supported by state of the art facilities, a recently revamped suite of music and recording studios, and a professional level kitchen.

Despite the challenges of the last 18 months, The Avenues has achieved a period of rapid growth, and the new CEO will join at a pivotal time to continue this journey of success and positive impact to young people. Leading a stable and high performing team, the key priorities for this role will be to work towards long term financial stability, to optimize organisational processes and procedures for the size/complexity of business, and to continue to use the increasing profile of the impact the organisation has on young people to influence broader policy work at a regional and national level.

The next CEO will bring senior strategic experience with strong leadership skills and financial management coupled with creative flair. In addition, you will be collaborative, progressive, empathetic and flexible. You will have supported the design and delivery of organisational strategy at a senior level (either as a CEO or a Director/Head of Department), and you will be a confident communicator - comfortable presenting to key partners and donors. You will have a commercial mindset and ideally an understanding of the non-profit funding environment (although this last point is not essential - in fact, we welcome expressions of interest from candidates with work experience in any sector)

To apply for this role, please either reply to this advert with an updated version of your CV or contact Brigitte Studner or Matt Adams on [email protected] or 0207 198 6040.
