About the role:

This is an important time to join S.H.E. We were set up 20 years ago as a self-help group and since that time we have grown to delivering a wide range of activities to support the women who come to us. We are proud of what we do – we are a survivor centric charity who puts the voices of the women who come to us at the heart of all we do.

But we know that we can do so much more, and we are now looking for a CEO to take the charity to the next level and help us identify new opportunities to reach, help and support more survivors.  You will also play a key role in ensuring that we have the financial stability to continue and grow this essential work.

About you:

We’re looking for an enthusiastic leader who has a successful track record of securing funding applications from a variety of sources with experience of working with a range of stakeholders including funders and service users.

It’s essential that you have an ability to empathise and be an advocate of survivors and ideally you will have experience of working in a similar environment.

We have a small team of committed staff and volunteers and we envisage that the CEO will play a key role in developing and leading the team to develop and enhance their skills. So, we’re looking for someone with a passion for getting the very best from our people.

This is an exciting and challenging role but you will have the full backing of the Chair and Board of Trustees as you work with them and our staff and volunteers to make a difference to many more survivors of sexual abuse.

About S.H.E  

Our vision is to support adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and adult sexual violence through a range of services from counselling through to life skills workshops. Our uniqueness comes through our Evaluative Need Therapy and our Lounge service; we deliver services based on individual need rather than a fixed number of sessions recognising each person’s journey from surviving to thriving is different.  The work that we do really matters. Our clients tell us that we provide them with a pathway to move beyond the pain and trauma they have suffered to a place where they feel they have a future and a hope for a fulfilled and happy life where they are able to thrive and be the very best they can be.

You will have already had a successful career at senior executive / Non-executive level and have an outstanding track record of inspiring leadership and delivery. You will ideally have previous experience leading in the Charity sector, however we will consider applications from a wide range of backgrounds, but you must be able to show a strong understanding of Company and Charity Law and Governance.

Executive Director
Bromley by Bow Centre
Salary: £70,000, plus benefits
Location: East London, E3 3BT

The Bromley by Bow Centre is a pioneering and vibrant community charity in East London which is renowned for its radical approach to health and wellbeing. It was founded 36 years ago and sits in a beautiful three-acre community park. At its heart is a partnership between a diverse community, a locally-rooted charitable organisation, a research team and one of the most progressive primary care health teams in the UK.
The charity supports families, young people and adults of all ages to learn new skills, improve their health and wellbeing, find employment and develop the confidence needed to achieve positive outcomes they may not have dreamt of. We work with the most vulnerable people in our community, those who are isolated, facing physical or mental ill health or who are lacking confidence, skills or qualifications.
The Centre delivers a diverse range of projects based on a unique model that combines social entrepreneurship, the arts, learning, social support, horticulture and holistic and integrated health programmes. We work alongside people to support transformative change in their lives and their neighbourhoods and we provide a wide variety of integrated services. This link gives an overview of services running currently under pandemic conditions.

The Executive Director is a newly created position leading a broad range of inter-connected service functions, including programmes, projects, research and knowledge share, fundraising and partnerships. The role has 9 direct reports and a wider team of 85. It combines significant service delivery responsibilities across all of the organisation’s programmes, allied with overall day-to-day operational leadership. The role requires an ability to engage with multiple stakeholders and partners and requires an exceptional relationship-builder and communicator, who can drive efficient and effective systems, and continue to build the charity’s strong creative and innovative programmes. The Executive Director reports to the charity’s Chief Executive, is a member of the Executive Leadership Group and Chairs the Management Group.

The key to the Executive Director role is the combining of a mission-driven energy, with strong abilities that ensure effective delivery across the full range of service areas. This requires extensive and developed leadership and organisational management skills; an eye for detail and a natural focus on quality. It needs a supportive and sensitive approach to getting the best out of the team; and the ability to design and implement tools that measure effectiveness and create growth. The role is about driving efficient and effective systems; but it also requires a constant eye to building on the charity’s strong creative and innovative energy.
