Impetus transforms the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds by ensuring they get the right support to succeed in school, in work and in life. Impetus is one of the first organisations in the UK to apply a venture philanthropy approach to the not-for-profit sector – providing its charity partners with grant funding, and the expertise of an internal investment team and extensive pro bono network. Impetus finds out what works by combining the lessons from charity partners with new research to influence decision-makers so all young people can get the support they need.

Impetus’s focus on impact extends beyond their work with their partner organisations. Together with the Sutton Trust, they founded the Education Endowment Foundation – the Department for Education’s What Works Centre for educational attainment.

At this exciting time of growth for Impetus, the Trustees seek to appoint a new Chief Executive Officer. Building on a strong existing platform, the new CEO will provide clear, strategic leadership in a changing external environment, ensuring that Impetus influences the national debate on how we achieve the best outcomes for young people; identifying and investing in programmes that improve the life chances of the next generation.

The successful candidate will bring a proven track record of strategic leadership with first class influencing, relationship building and advocacy skills as well as the capacity to motivate and inspire a high performing team.

About the role:

This role works alongside the Executive Director for Strategy and Fundraising to lead NEON, deputising for one another where needed and supporting the development of the overall organisation.  You will manage and set-up the organisational systems, processes and culture that underpin all of our work. The role’s seniority shows how important this work is to NEON and the status with which we hold it. 

This will look like building and training staff to implement the human systems that help people work together: decision making, information sharing, resource allocation, giving kind and constructive feedback and handling conflict.  NEON’s culture and commitment to anti-oppression is at the very core of all of our work. This role will ensure the systems and strategies are in place to maintain and refresh our culture and implement anti-oppression across all of our work.  This role will also develop a system for building the staff management and leadership competencies required for high performance, role modelling NEON’s values and enacting our commitment to anti-oppression. 

You will manage the Operations Hub of 4 people, building on existing operational systems in finance, HR and programme management to integrate the latest practice and tools. You will support the Operations Hub to train and upskill staff members in our programmatic Hubs on the core operational skills they need to implement their programmes to a consistently high standard, e.g. in budgeting, monitoring and evaluation. Where appropriate you will draw on your own skills and experience to coach participants on NEON’s programmes on organisational development.

Operations for NEON aren’t just a service for other teams, they inform the very nature of the work we do and help define our approach to change. As a result, NEON’s values of generosity, solidarity and respect and our commitment to anti-oppression should be embedded in all of our operations. As a capacity building organisation, in time, you will also support our membership to apply some of our own best practice into their organisations, helping to scale the impact of our work.

About NEON
The New Economy Organisers Network (NEON) is a not-for-profit company with 12 staff members, growing to up to 15 staff by the end of this year. We also work with a range of contractors and Associates and incubate other organisations. We are a network of over 1,600 UK organisers from different trade unions, grassroots groups, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), faith-based campaigns, civil society groups and movements from across the country. 

We run powerful trainings and support campaigns to help progressives win social, economic and environmental justice. We offer movements a range of support, from helping people lead movements like Just Treatment (organising patients to fight for the NHS), through to working with our members on over 2,500 media bookings on the UK’s biggest TV and radio channels. We’re ambitious and the team is agile, fast paced and committed to actually changing things. 

To build the power of movements for social, environmental and economic justice we organise our work around three goals: 

• Connect we bring people together who aren’t usually in the same room, working across many different issues and from many different struggles, because together there is strength. In particular, we want to build the power of campaigners and organisers from groups most affected by injustice to help change the leadership of our movements

• Focus is about how we support our members’ work to transform our social and economic systems through prioritising key battles. Our aim is to help members work together to win bigger change on key battleground issues, such as health and climate justice

• Build means supporting the development of key institutions that underpin the wider progressive movement. The range and diversity of groups needed is wide - from campaign groups to policy and training institutes. We help our members develop excellent institutions and structures that support many others.

To build a culture and community that lasts, we organise around three values: 

• Solidarity we’re here to change the system and that requires working together across issues and sectors that aren’t normally in the same room. This means placing anti-oppression at the heart of our work and building the power of people most affected by injustice to change the leadership of our movements

• Generosity is about sharing our time, resources and learning with one another as we support each other’s work. It means being open and honest with one another, especially when we hit problems, and thinking creatively about how we positively build from there

• Respect is the bottom line for all relationships in NEON. It means being respectful of different backgrounds and life experiences and giving space for all voices to be heard. This often means listening more than we talk and being open to changing ourselves as a result of what we hear. 

Join the friendly Carers’ Hub team and make a lasting difference to the lives of unpaid carers in Lambeth.   You will have the experience and skills to manage a small local charity and have an appetite for getting involved in strategic planning. 

Carers’ Hub plays a vital role in Lambeth, supporting the many unpaid carers across the borough with 1-1 and peer support, signposting, monthly forums, training, workshops and social activities. We are a charity with ambition, a big heart, and an outsized impact.

This is an opportunity to lead a talented and dedicated staff team as we enter the next phase of our development.  Carers’ Hub Lambeth was only established as an independent organisation in July 2018, having previously been the Lambeth division of a much larger charity which closed. We have achieved a lot since then in what has been an exciting and dynamic time. New finance and HR systems, an excellent relationship with the local authority and partner organisations, a switch to the cloud, a new database, 9 new team members, a new Board of Trustees and a rebrand mean that the key building blocks are in place for future success.

Carers’ Hub is entering a period of consolidation, but there is still much to do.  As the CEO (maternity cover) you will provide leadership and stability to the staff team ensuring we maintain the high quality of our core services, build on existing work streams to strengthen our organisational processes and work with our engaged and supportive Board of Trustees to develop a long-term strategy.

We welcome requests for informal chats to find out more about us as an organisation and the role.   For more details, including how to get in touch, please see the Application Pack

Interviews will take place on Wednesday 15th April, 2020. 

The two directors of this busy charity are looking for an executive to work alongside them. You will be working in a small non-hierarchical team running music and employment projects in 10 prisons.

We have a fantastic team of musicians and managers all of whom are deeply committed to what they do, the people serving sentences we work with and the rest of the team.

This role would suit someone who is used to responsibility and making things happen, who is looking for a change in environment. You will be non-judgemental and comfortable with people from all walks of life. You will be interested in social justice. You are comfortable working from home (part of the time) and be prepared to roll your sleeves up and be adaptable. Your personality is more important than sector experience. You will be able to represent the charity and influence and build relationships with prisons, other organisations and funders.

We are looking for energy and positivity, working in a difficult “prison charity” context. We need someone who is good to have around and be around. Efficiency, with an ability to be articulate and write well, is also essential. Business skills will encompass team management, budget management, planning, accounting, pitching to fund raisers, onboarding of employers and networking.

There is a definite opportunity to create an important role and grow as the Charity does.

. Place: Blackheath 2-3 days a week– but must be prepared to travel to prisons in Kent and West Midlands. You will work from home 2-3 days a week (like the rest of the team). Driving licence and a car is essential.
