Deputy Director of People, Culture & Transformation

We are looking to recruit a Deputy Director of People, Culture & Transformation to lead our HR team at Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (GOSH Charity).

This is a newly created role which reports directly into Director of Finance and Resources and will be a key member of the senior team within the Finance and Resources Directorate. The post holder will be expected to visibly demonstrate their leadership of people and culture and make a contribution to the development and realisation of the Charity’s strategic objectives and people agenda. The broad responsibilities of the role provide the opportunity to lead or engage as appropriate in a number of critical projects and functions.

The role provides an exciting opportunity to make a major difference to the success of the Charity through our people and, ultimately, the wellbeing of our beneficiaries, the children and young people that are patients of Great Ormond Street Hospital and beyond. The extent of the contribution will be largely determined by the role holder’s vision and drive to engage with all aspects of the Charity and identify those areas where they can make a substantial difference.

Furthermore, the current impact of Covid-19 on GOSH Charity e.g. staff currently working remotely and in the office, and the negative impact on our fundraising activities and income, highlights the need for us to change in order to deliver against our Strategy, and its culture, digital and innovation enablers. As such, this role will play a fundamental part in the development and delivery of a people strategy that is focussed on culture and transformational change.

The Deputy Director for People, Culture and Transformation will also play a key role in the effective delivery of our Equality, Diversity and Inclusiveness strategy work, in which we have set out to create a truly diverse and inclusive organisation for those who work for us, for the partners we work alongside and for those we support.

About You

The passion and dedication of the people who work at GOSH Charity is what makes us such a fantastic place to work, and we are looking for someone who will be equally as dedicated to our Charity's cause, and who will thrive in our unique environment.

Our ideal candidate will be a senior People/HR leader who has experience in driving forward cross-organisational change and transformation programmes involving people, culture and systems. We are therefore looking for someone who is willing to embrace opportunities for new ways of working so that we can create a culture that is fully aligned to our Charity’s current and future needs.

The ideal candidate will also have:

- Experience of leading an HR Team
- Ability to engage others in driving plans forward with energy and credibility
- Excellent interpersonal and relationship building skills
- Experience in leading and delivering Equality, Diversity and Inclusion plans
- Chartered MCIPD

Overview:

Women for Women International works in some of the most dangerous places to be a woman. We serve women survivors of war in conflict and post-conflict areas around the world in 8 countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Eastern Congo, and Northern Nigeria. Our core belief is that stronger women build stronger nations; and with access to knowledge, resources, and a support network, a woman rebuilds her life and improves her community.

Our model works and we have the data to prove it. In our 26-year history, Women for Women International has reached over half a million women. The women we work with across 3 continents earn just $0.81 a day when we enroll them. At graduation, it’s $2.11, nearly tripled.

Our impact goes beyond income. The number of women who say at least one household member went to sleep hungry in the last four weeks has gone from 18% to 5%. And more women say they speak out against women's abuse: 26% report having publicly spoken in the last 6 months against physically abusing women.

When women have the right tools, they realize the power within themselves to transform their lives, their families, their communities, and finally their entire nations.

The global organization has strong teams that carry forward business development from the first identification of a prospect all the way through to the final grant report.

The Linacre Institute, is a charity registered in England (1156821).

The mission of St Francis Leprosy Guild is to contribute to the alleviation of the suffering caused by leprosy throughout the world, by encouraging and enabling Catholics to embrace leprosy sufferers and meet their needs, following the example of St Francis.

Despite the development of successful multi-drug therapy, leprosy has not been beaten – yet. By the year 2000 the number of new cases had reduced to around 200,000 annually. But the rate of reduction has levelled off to about the same level each year since then. The challenge today is to reach out to detect cases of leprosy where and when they emerge, so that transmission of the disease can be prevented. Successful outreach to detect new cases means training local primary health care workers in leprosy detection and treatment.

The Guild may be a small organisation, but as the leading Catholic charity working in this field we are having a significant impact. The outreach projects that we have been able to support were involved in detecting nearly 2% of the world’s new cases of leprosy last year alone. An end to leprosy is tantalisingly in sight and the Guild is determined to play a part.
​
Following a thorough strategic review in 2017, the Guild has reconfigured around a new strategy that is focused less on recurring ‘maintenance grants’ to projects, and more on outreach projects that contribute to the goal of ending leprosy. It has reconstituted as a CIO, introduced safeguarding policies for all overseas partners, and instigated a successful donor recruitment campaign. The charity has also begun a parliamentary advocacy programme.

The current Director has informed the Trustees that he wishes to retire by the end of 2020. The charity therefore seeks a new Director to build on this process of transformation, and help us seek out ways of spending our money wisely, in particular through support for active case finding projects. Whoever takes on the Director role will be joining an exciting organisation with serious growth potential, at a significant moment in its development.

We offer a competitive salary for this post, and trustees are open to either a full time or part time option.
