Inclusive Eye Health Director

The role is permanent and can be based in any CBM Global office.

While the world is making progress in tackling poverty, people with disabilities are being left behind. Too many people with disabilities face poverty, stigma and isolation and are denied the chance to go to school or earn a living. In addition, large numbers of people lose the ability to see, hear or walk because of conditions that could easily be treated or prevented.

Driven by Christian values, CBM works in the world’s poorest places to reach those who are most left behind. Working in partnership with Governments and local partners, we create long-term positive change: supporting people with disabilities to access education and healthcare, earn a living and be included in their communities; and treating and preventing conditions that can lead to disability.

History of CBM Global

Until now, the CBM federation has been made up of 10 Member Associations (MAs) providing the vital link between persons with disabilities in 25 of the poorest countries, and people that have the interest, capacities and resources to help.

There have for some time been fundamental differences over how CBM should best place itself to contribute to the wider disability agenda. Earlier this year, it was agreed that a new federation – CBM Global – would be formed with a simplified governance and a greater focus on disability inclusion. And while our excellent field programmes will continue there will be a greater emphasis on the interconnection between programme, advocacy and advisory work.

With an income of €43m, CBM Global is made up of 7 of the Member Associations (CBM Australia, CBM Ireland, CBM Kenya, CBM New Zealand, CBM South Africa, CBM Switzerland, and CBM UK) with programmes worldwide and Country Offices in 11 countries (Philippines, Bangladesh, Laos, Nepal, Indonesia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Burkina, Nigeria, Madagascar and Bolivia).

There is widespread excitement about the opportunities the fresh federation affords. Coming with strong networks, substantial funds and a progressive approach to development, we now have the chance to configure ourselves to serve and thrive in the INGO context of the 2020s and beyond.

Director of Community, Partnerships & Access

Charterhouse is a beautiful school and a wonderful place to live and work. It was founded in 1611 and moved to its present magnificent 250 acre site near Godalming in 1872. The School has over 800 pupils aged between 13 and 18, all of whom, except for about 40 ‘day boarders’, are boarders.

The Director of Community, Partnerships and Access is a member of the School’s Senior Leadership Team, enabling them to take an operational lead in the School’s relationship with the local and wider community, its public benefit contribution, its social responsibility profile (including links with charities) and the pupils’ contribution to community action projects in the UK and abroad. The role also takes the lead in liaising with external bursary funding organisations and in ensuring a pipeline of transformational bursary applicants.

The successful candidate is likely to have a track-record of delivering community-linked collaborative projects, preferably (though not necessarily exclusively) in relation to education and independent/maintained sector links and a proven ability to galvanizing people within an organisation to contribute to social responsibility projects or similar.

For the right candidate, this role could combine with a reduced teaching role (around 14 periods per week) in a suitable subject and would suit someone looking for promotion to Deputy Head and/or Headship in due course. Equally, for the right candidate, this role could be a non-teaching role where precise hours are flexible but would average to around 37.5 hours/week all year round, with the expectation that hours will peak significantly during term time, including a requirement for work on Saturday mornings and occasional evening and other weekend commitments. International travel will also be required.

Charterhouse offers a competitive salary and other benefits including contributory pension, membership of the School’s Sports Club and private medical insurance.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Monday 10 February 2020 and interviews will take place shortly thereafter.

The post-holders will be responsible for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children with whom they come into contact. They must ensure compliance with the School's Child Protection Policy Statement at all times. These appointments will be subject to checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service and with past employers.

• SEL CCG is responsive to the views of LHW, patients and the public and promotes shared decision-making in all aspects of its business
• SEL CCG has appropriate arrangements in place to secure LHW involvement and responds in an effective and timely way to feedback and recommendations from LHW
• there is transparent communication between SEL CCG and local people, including through the dissemination of clear information via LHW, where appropriate.

Core attributes and competencies

The post holder must:

• be committed to working with and across LHW organisations, with an understanding of the challenges faced by small voluntary organisations and ability to spot opportunities and potential collaborations

• have the confidence to question information and explanations supplied by others, who may be experts in their field
• be able to influence and persuade others, articulating a balanced HW view, and to engage in constructive debate

Meaning ‘beacon’ in Arabic, Alfanar is the Arab region’s first venture philanthropy organisation, using social investment to change dynamics in slums, villages, refugee camps and other vulnerable communities.  We identify and back ambitious social enterprises working in vulnerable communities to sustainably educate children, employ youth and economically empower women. We multiply the impact of our funding with high-engagement management support and a relentless focus on impact growth and financial sustainability.  The social enterprises Alfanar backs represent a bold and hopeful side of the Middle East often overlooked in the headlines. Over the past 15 years, we have invested in 34 social enterprises across Egypt, Lebanon and refugee communities, tangibly improving over 65,000 lives.  We began work in Jordan in 2019.  For more on Alfanar, see our annual reports on the website.

Asylum Matters is looking for a Director to cover maternity leave and help us bring about positive change for refugees and people seeking sanctuary in the UK.

As a small, specialist team of campaigns professionals based around the UK, we work with an extensive network of frontline partners to advocate for progressive change in the asylum and immigration system. We have been at the forefront of a number of significant campaigns in the sector, bringing together high-profile national campaigning organisations with front-line charities to expose and address the issues that impact on the rights and wellbeing of people in the asylum system.

We’re looking for a dynamic leader, passionately committed to upholding the rights of people seeking asylum and motivated by the possibility of bringing about progressive reform in a challenging external context.

The Candidate:

The Director will be a strategic thinker with strong political insight, able to guide the team of campaigners in devising and executing engaging and impactful campaigns. Experience of building broad-based coalitions and managing a partnership network is important as Asylum Matters exists to strengthen collaborative efforts across the sector.

As the most senior role in Asylum Matters, the Director will have ultimate responsibility for setting and delivering the organisation’s strategic objectives and maintaining effective systems to ensure the smooth-running of the organisation, good governance and financial sustainability. Our ideal candidate will enjoy managing staff and empowering our small, remote team of regional campaigners to operate effectively.

It is an exciting time to be joining the Asylum Matters team as we are in the process of establishing ourselves as a charity, after three years operating as an independent project hosted by the registered charity, City of Sanctuary UK. Independence will allow us to be more flexible and adaptive to the external environment, allowing for the growth and evolution of our work. If you think you fit the bill, after reading the job description, we look forward to hearing from you.
