Based at home, the post holder will be expected to undertake occasional travel to our Head Office in London and on occasion support the Funds caseworking function with visits to beneficiaries across the East Midlands.

The role will involve engagement with a variety of social welfare agencies to encourage those agencies to identify potential Fund beneficiaries, particularly those who are socially isolated. The post holder will be working with socially isolated individuals to identify socially enriching opportunities to reduce feelings of loneliness, to develop actions plans to connect the individual into these opportunities and coordinating support to overcome any barriers preventing successful connection into to these socially enriching opportunities.

The successful candidate will have experience of working in a social welfare role supporting individuals. They must have strong people and relationship-building skills, and a strong empathy with, connection to or understanding of the issues affecting the Armed Forces community. Any successful candidate for this role will need to be DBS checked.

About NCVO

NCVO supports volunteering and charities.

We believe that the work of volunteers and charities make our communities stronger and the world around us better, for everyone.

Our members are at the heart of our mission. We work collaboratively with our 16,000-strong network of national and local charities and voluntary organisations. We share practical support and new insight so that people and organisations can focus on making a difference. And we work alongside our members to ensure that the essential role of volunteers and charities is widely recognised.

NCVO is an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from everyone. Charity No. 225922

Benefits for NCVO employees

NCVO offers attractive benefits including: 25 days’ annual leave (for full time staff and pro-rata for part-time staff) and the option to purchase up to 5 more days each year, take 35 hours of volunteering leave per year, subsidised gym membership, season ticket loan, flexible working including opportunities to work from home/off-site, generous contributions to a stakeholder pension scheme and training and development opportunities. We are located a short walk from London King’s Cross station in a modern accessible building, overlooking Regent’s canal.

We are the world’s oldest and largest charity dedicated to the education and personal development of young people through experiences at sea, with a focus on disadvantaged young people.  We do this through the crewing of ocean-going yachts. 

The impact of one of these voyages on a young person can be really life changing.  The voyages take young people, from mixed backgrounds and with different abilities, on world-class sailing group expeditions, developing life potential, skills and awareness of the world. Adventure, excitement and challenge are guaranteed.  

Sailing with us can be one of the most significant moments in the lives of young voyagers, helping them to focus on the future, giving them direction and purpose, and opening their minds to previously unthought of opportunities.

The organisation is seeking a Chief Executive who can build on the legacy of the past 60 years, so that we can both significantly increase the number of disadvantaged young people that we can help and also secure our financial future.

The successful candidate will be expected to increase the Trust’s fundraising capacity by building relationships with key individuals or institutions.  The role will appeal to a charismatic leader who relishes change and will be able to develop new ideas and thinking in our quest to support disadvantaged young people.  The new Chief Executive will bring inspirational leadership to increase awareness, reach and measurable impact of the Trust through better leverage of social networks, innovation, creative partnerships and greater financial stability.

Sailing experience is not necessary.  Whilst the role is based in Portsmouth, working from home will be considered.

This is a superb opportunity to lead a reputable and forward-thinking Trust and to create lasting change in the lives of young people.

To apply for the post, see the attached Candidate Brief, also available in the Careers section of the TSYT website.

Closing date for applications: 4pm on Wednesday 14 July 2021.

ABOUT US
The Woodland Trust is the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity. We want to see a UK rich in native woods and trees, for people and wildlife. The Trust aims to engage and inspire people about woods and trees to help us meet our vision of creating, restoring and protecting woodland.

THE ROLE
As a Membership Development Officer you’ll be the face of the Woodland Trust, talking to people from all walks of life about why woods and trees are special and how we can ensure their protection.

If you have the confidence to talk to members of the public and ask for their support, along with a genuine love of the natural environment, we’ll provide you with the training and development to do the rest.

You will need access to your own vehicle in order to transport equipment to venues and events.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
There’s no other organisation like the Woodland Trust. Whatever you do here you will be supporting our work to protect and enhance woods and trees. In return, we recognise and value our people. You'll have our full support, training and opportunities for professional development, along with a contributory pension, life assurance and good holiday entitlement.
