Location: Flexible, can be based anywhere in the UK

Salary: £52,460 - £63,976 + 5% pension

Hours:  35 hours/week (28 hours will be considered for the right candidate)

Contract: Permanent

We’re looking for a Director of Finance and Resources who would love to join an entrepreneurial organisation to help look after all of SSE’s assets; its people, its finances, its technologies, its facilities and its services contracts.

We can’t fix issues like poverty, climate change and ill-health alone. That’s why the School for Social Entrepreneurs exists. SSE helps 1,000 people a year develop the skills, strengths and networks they need to tackle society’s biggest problems. We run courses that equip people to start, scale and strengthen organisations that make a positive difference. But we are not a traditional school. Learning with SSE is inspiring, action-based and accessible.

As Director of Finance and Resources you will build on SSE’s existing operational capabilities and harness the potential of the finance and resources function in support of SSE’s strategic ambitions.

The role will be best suited to a collaborative leader who is comfortable working in a dynamic organisation across a number of workstreams, and who is as motivated thinking strategically as delivering operationally.

Our commitment to inclusion

Diversity is a fact of life. Inclusion is a choice and a practice – for organisations and individuals. At the School for Social Entrepreneurs, our aim is to drive inclusion into every area and activity of what we do: from access to programmes, to grant investment, to board, staff and partnerships.

However you identify, we would like to hear from you. In our commitment to continue to diversify our teams, freelance staff and programmes, we are particularly keen to hear from those who identify as: being from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds; LGBTQ+; and those with disabilities.

London South Bank University Students’ Union is on a mission to totally transform the way a students’ union works in a modern university. We are now seeking an outstanding professional leader to join the organisation as Chief Executive to take forward its future development, operational delivery and management across a growing team of staff and volunteers.

About the role

LSBSU is the recognised representative body of 18,000 students at London South Bank University. Many of our students come from less privileged backgrounds and have had to overcome significant barriers in life simply to get to university.

South Bank students have high expectations and ambitions for themselves but lead complex lives where they are faced with the pressures of trying to balance their studies with work and juggling their lives at home. Many don’t identify primarily as students, but instead as carers, nurses, engineers, parents, designers, workers, entrepreneurs, apprentices, last chance learners, and Londoners.

In recent times, realising that much of our activity was not engaging significant parts of our student population, we have taken a long hard look at ourselves. We know that we can do so much more for our students.

Following a period of transition, we have set out an ambitious vision for 2025 that will take us on a journey of improvement and innovation. Our goal is to be a truly transformative students’ union that improves the lives of students on every course and beyond at London South Bank University. We have set a plan for year one, and goals for year five, but how we get there could take many routes and we will need you as CEO to steer that journey.

This is a brilliant opportunity to support an SU which is rebuilding itself from the ground up. We have invested heavily in our transformation, started to build a more inclusive and equitable workplace, and we have significant changes to governance in the pipeline for 2021.

As CEO, you will have the chance to bring people into the senior team and work collaboratively with our Officers, Board and University partner to establish the best way to achieve our goals for 2025.

Who we're looking for

Our ideal Chief Executive will be able to provide dynamic leadership, be motivated to change students’ lives and be passionate about building an organisation that is relevant and responsive to those it seeks to serve.

You need to have strong communication skills, emotional intelligence and an ability to build relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders. It is essential that you are committed to role modelling inclusive behaviours, building equity and removing the systemic barriers that exist to hold our students back.

We are actively looking to diversify our Trustee board and leadership team as this has not been as diverse as our student population in the past. We are especially interested to hear from candidates from BAME communities and/or candidates that have overcome other significant barriers in their lives.

If you are inspired by the job, we highly recommend you contact Peridot for an informal discussion and background on the role.

This is an exciting opportunity to have a positive and lasting impact on a growing charity that is making a vital difference for children and young people in Islington.

Duties include managing the charity’s funds, securing the resources (income and staff) and ensuring the operational efficiency to enable the Artistic Team to maintain and grow what we deliver while identifying, developing and maximising opportunities for Angel Shed.

The ideal candidate must have a passion for theatre and its impact with children. They must demonstrate they are flexible and creative to deal with the demands of a small charity and to be able to put the vulnerable children and families we work with at the forefront of the charity. They must possess a strong entrepreneurial drive, outstanding communication skills, strong leadership qualities and excellent planning and organisational skills. The candidate is expected to effectively fundraise, create and manage budgets, and enhance awareness of the charity within the local community.

Student Hubs designs and delivers social action programmes for students in partnership with universities across the UK. Each year we support 2,500 students to take part in long-term volunteering, community action, impact consultancy, Service Learning and social innovation projects. This role is a fantastic opportunity to lead an exciting small charity working in the higher education sector.

This is a challenging and varied role, which will require you to lead and oversee a range of organisational functions. You’ll be setting the direction for a dynamic, fast-paced team full of people who are passionate about social impact and the student experience. You will receive support and space to rapidly develop professionally; this is a fantastic opportunity for significant learning and career progression.

The successful candidate will bring a track record of strategic leadership in the charity sector, higher education, youth social action or a related area. We will also consider candidates with experience transferable from another sector.
