Change Grow Live  

Director of Nursing

Competitive remuneration package  

Location: Nationwide

Be open, be compassionate, be bold

Change Grow Live is a charity, with income of £250 million, over 4,000 staff and 1500 volunteers.

Every year they support more than 200,000 people affected by social and economic deprivation, trauma and abuse, homelessness, offending and alcohol and substance misuse. Because they're not a business, they're not looking to make a profit. This allows them to focus on making sure that everything they do is helping the people who use their services, and the wider public too.

Many of Change Grow Live’s staff have previously used their services. Others started as front-line workers, volunteers or peer mentors (including their Chief Executive).  This is a huge strength. Having that first-hand, frontline experience means Change Grow Live’s staff are in the perfect position to support their service users and their staff on the ground - they've been there, so they get it.

Change Grow Live look at the data and carry out research and analysis to make sure that everything they recommend is not just safe, but also the most effective treatment. They never stop learning and looking for new evidence, either.

Since starting as a small local charity in Sussex in the 1970s, Change Grow Live has grown to offer more than 200 services across the UK annually. Their size gives stability, because there’s a solid infrastructure, systems and processes. It also means they can learn a lot and make continuous improvements by sharing learnings and best practice between all of their services.

For families living with childhood illness, time is everything. Right now, there are too many families coping alone with no support, no time to think, no time to make memories and no time for each other. We believe that no family should go through this alone, so we are here to change that.

About the role:

We are looking to appoint a Director of Finance & Operations, following the planned retirement of the current post holder, to lead all financial management for the charity, ensuring sound strategies and effective services are provided.

Reporting to the Chief Executive and working closely with the Board of Trustees, you will play a vital part in the development and implementation of future strategies for the organisation. You will identify and lead business development opportunities and lead organisational projects as required, contributing to strategy, business planning and budgeting to agreed timescales.

Having been an advisor at board level and held a Company Secretary role you will ensure Rainbow Trust complies with standard financial/legal and governance practice and maintains corporate governance standards. Tactically task-focused you will be responsible for Rainbow Trust’s properties, including review of leases, insurance and health and safety matters. Your well-developed leadership skills will provide firm and positive strategic oversight and direction to the Rainbow Trust’s Senior Leadership Team.

What we’re looking for:

• A confident, independent approach to achieving goals with an emphasis on meeting deadlines and quality – you are comfortable with a broad remit and rapid shifts in priorities; you initiate practical solutions to ensure compliance with statutory accounting and registration requirements.
• A commercial director, educated to degree level (and a fully qualified member of one of the six bodies of the CCAB) - you have significant demonstrable experience in a commercial organisation and/or a charity at senior management level.
• A stimulating influencer - you will thrive setting quality standards and achieving success through your firm, direct and self-assured leadership style.
• A strategic, big picture thinker who works with a sense of urgency - you effectively weigh risk against benefit to make calculated decisions; and taking the initiative, you have the strategic understanding to implement IT and operational projects.
• Comfortable with pressure and challenge - your ability to present and explain complex financial and other management information adapting to your audience, will ensure that Trustees and staff are kept up to date on financial activity and are aware of any relevant issues.
