Here at Charity Horizons we are honoured to be supporting Behind Closed Doors in their search for a new Chief Executive to play a significant role in shaping the strategic direction of the organisation moving forwards. The work of this charity provides a lifeline for those affected by domestic abuse and offers salvation in the darkest of times.
With a significant rise in reported cases of abuse due to Covid-19, this role presents a unique opportunity to lead this organisation in its next phase of development, expanding its reach and continuing its work at a time when its services are needed more than ever.
Behind Closed Doors strives to enable people to cope, recover and move on from domestic violence, regardless of gender or sexuality. The charity offers two arms of support services – a team that provides practical support to help those at risk of harm; and a team that provides emotional support to victims of abuse.
This multi-faceted role will involve the leadership of the organisation’s strategic direction, inspiring the team and finding new ways to grow the charity’s support and fundraising base. The role will also require operational leadership of the charity, overseeing the delivery of all services and the effective maintaining of quality standards.
To be considered for this role you must come to us with a demonstrable track record of achieving in a senior strategic leadership role in the voluntary or public sector and experience working within senior leadership or with boards. You must also have significant experience working with external stakeholders to effectively influence change, and experience of forming successful external partnerships. Although previous experience of working within domestic violence would be advantageous, this is not essential to the role; however, it is imperative you have a sound and extensive knowledge and understanding of the cause and effect of domestic violence. Most importantly you should possess strong networking skills and be known for your ability to build excellent relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. Influential, clear and charismatic you should be a strong and confident communicator and public speaker with an ability to deliver messages to a variety of audiences while building a sense of passion and engagement.
To find out more about this exciting opportunity please contact either Charlie or Leanne at Charity Horizons. The role closes on 21st September with interviews scheduled for the week commencing 5th and 12th October.

We will only make final offers for this role if our funding is confirmed, which we will know by the end of October. If, like us, you’re passionate about helping students to make up the learning lost as a result of school closures this year, we’d love to hear from you.
The Organisation
The Brilliant Club is an award-winning charity that exists to increase the number of pupils from underrepresented backgrounds progressing to highly-selective universities. We do this by mobilising the PhD community to share its expertise with state schools. We recruit, train and place PhD researchers to work with state schools: either part-time as tutors through The Scholars Programme or full-time as classroom teachers through Researchers in Schools (RIS). In 2018/19, The Brilliant Club worked with over 700 state schools and 13,000 pupils across the UK.
The Opportunity
The Brilliant Club is planning to be a provider for the National Tutoring Programme (NTP) to support the national catch up effort in England following school closures in response to COVID-19 and have submitted a bit to the Education Endowment Fund. If successful, The Brilliant Club is looking to recruit a Head of School Partnerships to drive partnerships with schools and networks across the UK.

This external facing role will involve networking and building relationships with senior leaders across the education sector.

As a leader within the team, there may be opportunities to share best practice, offering training and support where capacity allows. As this is a new role, the successful candidate will help shape our processes around national partnership building and approach them in innovative and creative ways to provide impact for our pupils. The Brilliant Club exists to increase the number of pupils from underrepresented backgrounds progressing to highly selective universities. We think it is important that our charity reflects the lived experience of our beneficiaries, and we want to be an organisation where employees from any background can thrive. We particularly welcome applications from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans including non-binary (LGBTQ+) candidates, and candidates from low income families. These groups are currently underrepresented at The Brilliant Club and we are committed to increasing representation and diversity at the charity
