The Deputy Director is an exciting new senior leadership post at the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) UK, a Catholic organisation with a mission to accompany, serve and advocate on behalf of refugees and those who have been forcibly displaced.

JRS UK has expanded the services it provides over the last few years and now seeks an experienced manager with a deep commitment to the organisation’s mission and values to work closely alongside the Director leading strategy and improving the quality of the support we provide to refugees.  The Deputy Director and will manage service projects providing support for people made destitute by the asylum system, including an immigration legal advice service, as well as the outreach support we provide for those held in immigration detention at the Heathrow immigration removal centres.  They will also deputise for the Director in her absence.

The Deputy Director will be responsible for helping to integrate the support we offer to refugees in a seamless way, giving particular attention to JRS’ mission of accompaniment and to creating spaces of hospitality, community, friendship and participation for refugees.  JRS’ distinctive ethos of accompaniment radically alters the beneficiary–service provider relationship and affects all that we do: we place a high value on coming to know refugees as people with gifts and personalities, not only defined by their situation in immigration law.

This diverse role requires substantial experience of managing people and of similar community-type projects with high levels of beneficiary participation, supporting individuals with complex needs in areas of rapidly changing public policy. Experience of developing strategy alongside others, operationalising ideas through project planning and leading change is essential. The role requires judgment, vision and horizon perspective, alongside maturity, resilience, empathy and the ability to inspire confidence and leadership in others. Experience of supporting staff to respond to high levels of trauma would also be helpful.

JRS’ distinctive person-centred mission arising from its Jesuit identity extends also to the way we seek to support and develop staff and volunteers. The post holder will be expected to set high standards around the quality of support provided to refugees and accuracy and timeliness of internal reporting for donors and governance, while encouraging an atmosphere of safety to reflect on practice, experiment with new initiatives and learn from success and error.  An enabling, participatory leadership style is expected.

The post holder will encourage proactive collaborative working between front-line staff and staff responsible for fundraising as well as those engaging in advocacy, outreach and communications.  Ability to identify important themes arising from service-focused work for external audiences is needed. Some public speaking at events on behalf of the organisation will be expected. Prior experience of working in a small faith-based organisation would be helpful and sympathy for the motivation of those whose life is grounded in faith is essential.

JRS UK is based in the Hurtado Jesuit Centre in Wapping, East London. It currently has 19 full and part-time staff and around 100 volunteers, drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds and nationalities, generations and beliefs, including refugees, young graduates and vowed members of religious congregations; this diversity of perspectives and experience is a source of particular strength for our mission. We work collaboratively with JRS offices around the world, Jesuit works in the UK and many others in the Church and secular refugee sector.

Deadline for applications is 5pm Friday 29 November.

Interviews are likely to be held on Wednesday 11 December

For more information about the post, please contact the Director by email.  CVs without cover letters will not be considered. No agencies please.

Background to the job: Acquired brain injury (ABI) is one of the commonest causes of death and disability in working age adults. Survivors of brain injury can live with a range of difficulties affecting their physical and cognitive functioning. Living with a brain injury can result in social isolation, mental health problems, difficulties with family relationships and unemployment.

Headway SELNWK is a medium size charity, over thirty years old, that supports people affected by ABI. We provide support services across SE London and North West Kent in the community and at our day service. Most of our members’ support is funded by social services or the NHS. Whilst we want to maximise this funding where possible, we also want to develop models of support that are not dependent upon statutory funding.

Headway has well established links with local hospitals notably with the Major Trauma Centre at Kings’ College Hospital.  We foster active links with a range of community providers including neurological rehabilitation and social work teams and other Third Sector organisations.

Headway SELNWK is entering a phase of new development and is looking to recruit an outstanding Director of Operations and Finance to oversee the development of its finance, human resources and IT processes. This person will combine technical skills in one or more of these areas with an evident passion for the charity’s mission to improve outcomes for people affected by ABI.

The Director of Operations and Finance will be responsible for overseeing the development of the charity’s finance, human resources and IT, ensuring that systems are effective and help to drive the charity’s mission. With technical skills in one or more of these areas, they will identify what is already working well and what could be improved, before drawing up short-, medium- and long-term priorities to improve the charity’s operations. As well as applying their technical skills, this will also require excellent project management, including the management of a small Operations team. The Director of Operations and Finance will enjoy working across a range of projects and will be able to strike the right balance between leading tasks themselves and working with their team and with external partners. As well as focusing on the immediate needs of the charity, part of the Director of Operations and Finance's remit will include laying the foundations for the capabilities that will be needed in the future as the charity grows. In particular, we want to implement our fundraising strategy with a view to eventually developing a fundraising team.

The ideal candidate will not necessarily have all of the required and desired characteristics, though they will certainly have real strengths in some of these areas. What is most important is that they will have a commitment to the charity’s mission and the tenacity and drive to achieve to very high standards. They will demonstrate a genuine openness to feedback and continuing improvement and will seek to learn from those within the organisation and its wider network of partners.

Responsibilities

While not exhaustive, the following list of responsibilities gives a comprehensive overview of the role:

• Senior leadership within the charity, feeding into strategic planning and decision-making by the charity’s Board and Executive
  • Working with the Director of Strategy and Business Development to ensure the operations structures of the charity can deliver its strategy
  • Working across the charity to develop systems and processes that are effective at all levels
• Overseeing the development of the charity’s finance department
  • Working with the Finance Working Group, payroll provider, bookkeeper and auditor to ensure compliance with relevant frameworks

  • Implementing financial controls and policies across Headway SELNWK

• Overseeing human resources
  • Working with the Senior Management Team and Trustees, to ensure the charity recruits, trains and retains outstanding members of staff
  • Supporting development of competency framework, performance review and CPD
  • Implementing HR policies across Headway SELNWK

Director of Services 
Homeless young people and families in need
Cardinal Hume Centre, Westminster, London
Permanent contract, £60,000 per annum
Closing date – 2 December (9.00am)

Are you passionate about preventing youth and family homelessness and poverty?
Can you champion the interests of people who need our support?
Can you lead a team to have a greater impact by providing early and preventative help? 

Over the past thirty years the Cardinal Hume Centre has seen substantial growth.  Based in Westminster we work hard for homeless young people, insecurely housed families and their children.  Last year over 1200 people used our different services.

We have made real improvements in recent years, but we know we face challenging times.  In nearly all its forms, homelessness is increasing in Westminster and around a third of families live in poverty. People face some of the highest housing costs in the country, a challenging labour market and rising levels of violent crime.  Some of those we support come from care or broken relationships which can limit access to support which most of us take for granted. Some are seeking asylum, safety and support.

Our response is far too important to be left to chance. We need a new senior leader to direct our support for our homeless and badly housed clients. You will join at a critical stage as we have reviewed the focus and shape of our future work. We know it will involve change and your role will be to ensure that this is in the best interest of homeless and insecurely housed young people and families. Our aim is to develop a distinct and strategic response that builds on our strengths and draws on the very best of our team, values and ethos. 

Of course we need someone with experience of leading and developing services for vulnerable people, but equally important is the ability to be an inspiring and insightful leader.  We need someone wo can work together as part of a senior team and can use digital technology and evidence to shape the bigger picture.  A person who can collaborate and use their soft and technical skills to draw out the individual qualities of the team. 

It will be a challenge, but if you join us you will get an amazing opportunity to work with a passionate team of staff and volunteers. You will shape a respected charity, develop as a leader and most importantly have real impact on the lives of people who need our help.   If you want to work at a Centre that values every individual and is determined to make a difference, please come and join us.
