About SASH (Safe and Sound Homes)

SASH is a registered charity providing accommodation for homeless young people aged 16-25 in the homes of its volunteer hosts. The charity has operated since 1994 and currently provides emergency Nightstop and longer-term Supported Lodgings accommodation covering the North of England and particularly York, North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire. More recently we have developed a programme of activities to build the life skills and confidence of young people using these services, called SASH Active.

SASH has grown in size and delivers its services on behalf of different clients (local authorities, lottery funders) and is supported by independent trusts and foundations. We generate an enviable amount of local goodwill and receive generous contributions of money and time from businesses, individuals and volunteers.

· management skills, from people and budgets, to service delivery and support to the board of Trustees

· knowledge and understanding of the issues that young people face and an ability to engage with them

· ability to build and maintain partnerships and relationships

If you would like to make a difference in society to the lives of older people across South West London, this vacancy is for you.  We have provided services across our community since 2000 and we have adapted to all the changes necessary with regard to the care of older people.  We believe that life is for living at any age and that disability is not going to stop us enjoying life and living it to the full.  We believe that we all have potential to learn new skills and to realise long-term dreams and we will be particularly focussing on providing Dementia-friendly services to older people on discharge from hospital.  We aim to help and support our clients to live at home in the community and will be serving 5 of the South West London hospitals through an integrated day and residential service that will be unique and pave the way for other Centres to spring up across the UK.  Our values and ethos are based in the Christian faith and we work with local Churches to enable a "holistic" approach that will meet the needs of all faiths.  We also work with the statutory sector and enjoy integrating with the local authority and NHS providers to improve the lives of vulnerable people over the age of 60.  Our vision is to eradicate isolation, whether that be within a hospital or home environment and make a significant difference to individual lives.

WECH (Walterton & Elgin Community Homes) has a proud history and this is a rare opportunity to work with a motivated group of residents in an organisation which is a beacon of good practice in community leadership. We are a successful resident-controlled housing association with 632 homes, 3 commercial units, a community centre and offices in Westminster. As well as providing housing we organise various social and community activities and play an active part in the regeneration of North Paddington.

Having had a very stable executive team, we are now facing the retirement of Andy Watson, the current Chief Executive, after 28 years. Our new Chief Executive will share our passion for WECH and the values of a resident-controlled social landlord dedicated to offering a high-quality service to our residents. We are a very people-focused organisation and our new Chief Executive will need to lead WECH to remain at the heart of North Paddington; developing innovative projects to support the whole community while ensuring the core business thrives.

We are seeking an experienced leader with a firm focus on quality and a people-centred approach who wants to lead an organisation at the heart of our community. Experience of working at executive level in social housing or a closely related sector and working alongside residents and a Management Board are essential. We also need someone who is an excellent communicator and enjoys working with a diverse range of people with different views, perspectives and priorities.

Our new Chief Executive will be ambitious for WECH but also recognise our values as being those of an organisation which is proud to have and retain its social heart and purpose. Equality and diversity are intrinsic to the way that WECH works and we will particularly welcome applications from diverse individuals and individuals from different backgrounds.

This is an exciting opportunity for a gifted leader who wants to impact the quality of life for thousands of terminally ill children and adults in South East Europe, where access to dignified care at the end of life is very limited. 

Hospices of Hope is an international charity that has been pioneering the development of hospice care in this region since 1991, beginning in Romania and expanding to Serbia, Republic of Moldova and Albania. However, other countries in the region are also needing help. 

Hospices of Hope's partner charity in Romania, Hospice Casa Sperantei, has become the leading provider of palliative care services and education in the region. More than 40,000 patients have received care to date. Hospices of Hope has led capital campaigns to successfully build two in-patient hospices and a Centre for children and families affected by life-limiting illnesses in Romania, as well as establishing the first hospice centre in Serbia and setting up mobile teams in all 4 countries. It has campaigned, together with its country partners for improved legislation, local funding and better access to services. 

Hospices of Hope's UK operation is based in Sevenoaks, Kent (30 minutes from London), and has a branch office in Edinburgh and a sister charity in New York. The CEO will lead the UK team and should have management experience and a good knowledge of fund-raising, finance and development issues. They will also work with the country partner charities to further their development and initiate new developments in coooperation with the Board of Trustees. Previous experience in an international development charity, a palliative care organisation or similar organisation would be an advantage but not essential.

Hospices of Hope is a non-denominational Christian-based charity network which serves some of the most vulnerable people in South East Europe, regardless of religion, ethnicity or ability to pay (all services are provided free of charge). It has received numerous awards and international recognition for its pioneering work.

The CEO will have a crucial part to play in the next chapter of the charity's development.

The purpose of the Sigrid Rausing Trust is to promote the values and principles of human rights and freedoms, equality and the rule of law, and to preserve nature from further degradation.

With a current annual budget of £40.85million, the Trust supports advocacy, creativity, research and scholarship to these ends. It funds ten programmes with a focus in five geographical regions across the globe.

We identify new grantees through recommendations and fieldwork. The Trust places particular value on long term, unrestricted funding and only a few of our grants are ear-marked for specific projects. Many of the groups we support have relatively easy access to project funding, but may find it difficult to raise funds to cover their running costs. We believe that donors can best encourage innovation and imagination if they allow grantees to develop their own ideas.

The Trust currently employs 19 staff and it is led by five Executive Trustees, who together with a further three members also comprise an International Board.

During 2019 the Trust began a period of organisational review and restructure.  The incoming Chief Operating Officer will take forward these changes and hold lead responsibility for the strategic development of the Trust’s operational systems and processes.

The post has overall responsibility for finance, compliance, human resources, office management, grants administration and grants management, and information technology systems. 

We are seeking to appoint a Chief Operating Officer who can demonstrate senior management experience of operational support, including financial management, human resources and administration, preferably in civil society or foundation environment.

Application is by way of CV and a Supporting Statement.

Closing date: 10.00 a.m., Monday 17th February

Overcoming MS
Competitive salary, commensurate with experience

Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis (OMS) seeks to appoint an exceptional leader to succeed the current CEO, who will step down after more than seven years of dedicated service. The new CEO will lead the charity into its next phase of growth, expanding its digital footprint and its global activities.

OMS is a young, unique and dynamic charity bringing fresh hope to the MS community both in the UK and around the world. Established in 2012, its mission is to raise awareness of the OMS 7 Step Recovery Programme, a scientifically researched, evidence-based approach to MS management that has been shown to improve health outcomes through diet and lifestyle changes. 

OMS has grown from humble beginnings, with just a few dozen people engaged in the UK, to the global footprint and audience engagement it has today. Across its many experiential and digital platforms, the charity offers a variety of ways to inform, educate and empower people with MS, their families and communities.

MS is a global disease, which currently has no cure. It affects roughly 3 million people world-wide and there is no country which is free from MS. It affects people in the prime of their lives, aged between 20-40 years old, and affects three times as many women as men. In the UK alone, there are over 110,000 people diagnosed with MS, and a further 5,000 diagnosed each year.

The CEO reports to the Board of Trustees and will be responsible for all aspects of the overall strategy, planning, resourcing, operational performance and governance of OMS, as well as representing the organisation and its work externally. The postholder will instil and grow a strong internal organisational culture, working collaboratively with the Chair and other key stakeholders. The CEO will build and lead a motivated and high-performing team that will work to support the growth and nurturance of the OMS community in the UK and around the world.

The successful candidate will be a creative thinker with a strong sense of integrity and a values-driven approach. S/he will have a proven track record in leading an organisation through a step-change in growth, including digital and global expansion, expertise in relationship management, a strong understanding of fundraising, outstanding interpersonal and communication skills and a passion for OMS’ mission.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a motivated, entrepreneurial individual with a track record of success to develop professionally and take the Charity to its next level.

This is a full-time position based in Haddenham (Buckinghamshire), with flexible working possible once established in role.
