About Kinship

We are Kinship. The leading kinship care charity in England and Wales. We’re here for kinship carers – friends or family who step up to raise a child when their parents aren’t able to. 

Together, let’s commit to change for kinship families.

About the role

Our Participation and Involvement Manager will build on existing practice across the organisation and lead on the implementation and further development of a participation and involvement framework, enabling a large and diverse range of kinship carers to share their views and expertise meaningfully, safely and effectively to shape Kinship’s activity. It will also support our growing participation and involvement activity which involves children, young people and young adults with experience of growing up in kinship care.

You will work closely with kinship carers and colleagues across the organisation to understand the key challenges and opportunities with embedding participatory methods, including co-production and co-design, which improve Kinship’s work – right from the design and delivery of our advice and support services through to influencing policy and campaigning for change.

With support from colleagues, you will act as the key cross-organisational adviser on participation and involvement practice, supporting and empowering colleagues to develop the skills and knowledge they need to embed a consistent approach to the involvement of kinship carers to best suit the needs of their roles.

As an enthusiastic and engaging facilitator, and an advocate for participatory methods, you will sensitively and skillfully work alongside kinship carers and colleagues to deliver high quality involvement activity which supports the charity’s mission and aims. You will also be an experienced project manager, ensuring all activity is appropriately monitored and evaluated, and aligned with best practice around equality and diversity, remuneration, safeguarding and governance.

Key responsibilities include:

• Refine and further develop an existing organisational participation and involvement framework which supports staff to meaningfully, safely and effectively involve kinship carers in their work.
• Design and implement a plan to embed effective practice based on the framework across Kinship, building a positive organisational culture and providing appropriate training, upskilling and support to colleagues to ensure consistency of delivery and experience for kinship carers.
• Lead a cross-organisational working group of people with relevant lived, learned and professional experiences to support and advise on embedding high-quality participation and involvement activity.
• Work closely with colleagues across the whole organisation to understand their bespoke needs, strengths and requirements around implementing participatory methods in their day-to-day work, and develop strategic relationships with colleagues in areas with more extensive existing participatory or adjacent activity (e.g. research, volunteering).
• Develop and recruit a network of people with lived experience interested in being more intensively involved in participatory activities, with a focus on increasing the diversity of people working with us.

Essential experience includes:

• Experience managing and leading the delivery of participation or involvement activity with people with lived experience of social issues.
• A commitment to meaningful participation and involvement activity, including a nuanced understanding of the individual and organisational opportunities and challenges associated with this.
• Knowledge of models, methodologies and approaches used in high quality participation and involvement activity, and strong skills in creative facilitation – particularly with groups.
• An understanding of kinship care and how this may impact on kinship carers’ involvement with Kinship and our activity.
• Experience of effective project management with strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

What we’ll offer you 

Kinship offers 30 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata for part-time) as well as a generous pension scheme. We have an excellent wellbeing offer including the Employee Assistance Programme and clinical supervision. We will invest in your professional development with training and career development opportunities.

Pecan is looking for their next CEO who can lead their staff teams and volunteers to take their incredible work forward and be able to have even more impact in the community.

Pecan are passionate about transforming the lives of those in their local community through: holistic practical and emotional support to those in their time of need, both in the moment and empowering lasting change; by connecting services and working in partnership, including with local churches, businesses, charities and councils; and by putting kindness, belief and hope at the heart of everything they do.

About you:

The next CEO will be someone with a passion for the impact Pecan is delivering and a heart for relationship building; committed to making a difference in the lives of the disadvantaged in Peckham.

You will bring your dynamic leadership experience, ideally gained in the charity or not for profit sector, with a range of knowledge and skills across people management, strategy development, operational oversight, fundraising, governance and finance.  Your leadership, energy and care will enable staff and volunteers to be their best.

You will use your stakeholder and networking skills to connect with empathy with people from a wide variety of background and faiths, including staff, volunteers, clients of services, funders, other charities, member churches and other local stakeholders; in order to inspire support and strengthen purposeful collaboration.

You’ll have both a practical and strategic approach. You’ll bring the ability to be more hands-on in ensuring Pecan is working well operationally; plus take a deep and practical interest in the on-the-ground projects they run.  To complement this, you’ll be able to step back to see the strategic picture. You’ll bring vision and new ideas, combined with great listening skills, humility and the ability to unite stakeholders around the chosen direction.

Ideally, you’ll have a good understanding and experience of our Peckham community, but if not, you’ll bring a strong understanding of communities who may have a similar profile, with a commitment to get to know the community that Pecan serves.

As a Christian charity, there is a genuine occupational requirement in Pecan’s Articles for the CEO to be a Christian. Part of your role will be to nurture key relationships with local churches, so you’d be comfortable in a church context and to pray with and talk to them about opportunities to support the work of Pecan. You will also be able to lead a workforce of diverse faiths.

You may already be in a CEO role (interim or otherwise), or you’re in a leadership role that has the ingredients we are looking for and you’re ready to take your next step. Or perhaps you want to move out of the corporate world and feel your experiences to date will set you up well for this role. 

We want to hear about any professional or personal experiences that could contribute to your success in this role too!

What we can offer you:

Salary: Circa £60,000 - £65,000 per annum, negotiable dependant on experience. Reviewed on an annual basis.

Location: Pecan, 121a Peckham High Street, London SE15 5SE. 

Some hybrid working available with a minimum of three to four days on site a week. Initially there may be more in person time required as you connect with colleagues and our impact services.

Hours of work: Your contracted hours are 36 hours per week. 

Pension: Pecan will provide a pension contribution of 8% of salary.

Life Assurance: Life Assurance cover of four times annual salary.

Holiday: 30 days annual leave; plus Bank Holidays. 

Probation: The role is subject to a 6 months’ probationary period. 

For more details and how to apply for the role, please download our candidate application pack which is available from our recruitment consultant’s website.
