Are you a passionate leader who believes in the power of lived experience to drive social change? Radar is looking for a Managing Director to lead our small interdisciplinary organisation in amplifying the voices of those on the margins of societies across the world

A vibrant and motivational team builder, you will relish creating new partnerships and nurturing existing relationships, and see the value of both processes and people to deliver our social mission.

You will manage an international team of 10+ talented practitioners and project leads working at the crossroads of community engagement, journalism, civic accountability, and social tech. Your role will be to nurture, motivate and support the team while setting necessary boundaries to keep the bigger strategic picture in mind. As a creative problem solver, you’ll be comfortable with the uncertainty inherent in co-production and will have the courage to hold responsibility for risks and difficult decisions.

Whether your passion comes from your own lived experience or your professional experience in the third, public, or news and media sector, the prospect of overseeing a broad portfolio of projects should excite you. You will proudly champion our shared call to shift the power,  that pushes for a paradigm shift in the way that societies engage with marginalised communities – from seeing them as problems to be discussed and solved, to viewing them as valued collaborators to societal solutions and enriched public dialogue.

Your flexibility to work across different communities, countries, and contexts and manage diverse partners and personalities will be valued. While you’ll find the team routinely go above and beyond to deliver, you’ll know that the buck stops with you and be the first on the front line when challenges arise.

In return, you’ll find your days wonderfully varied and purposeful, filled with learning and innovation and a chance to take an exciting mission to its next level.

Wave Café, a social enterprise based in North London, seeks a creative, organised and community-minded development director to oversee the strategic planning and delivery of its exciting, inclusive community café project.

Status: Part time (3 days /week, with potential for growth)

Salary: £30,000 p/a, pro-rata

Start Date: September 2021

Who we are

Wave Café is a charity whose aim is to reduce inequalities and radically change attitudes to learning disability and difference in our local community. While we recognise there is lots of provision for people with learning disabilities in our society, places where people of all abilities mix with each other as equals, not as ‘helpers’ and ‘service users’, are few and far between. By creating a community space where We are All Valued Equally, Wave Café showcases an alternative brand of community – one where people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities spend time together - socialising, working, creating, and enjoying each other’s company and qualities.

We currently operate an inclusive community café space in Muswell Hill, North London, 9am-5pm on Thursdays. We open our doors to those with and without learning disability in our community, offering a relaxed and friendly space to work or socialise, with inclusive art and yoga and great food  (at an inclusive price point).

We are looking to move to opening two days each week as soon as we can.

What it’s like working for us

Wave Café is a small and intimate charity with a warm, friendly and non-judgemental ethos. You will get to know the members of our vibrant and diverse community quickly – it is a bit like a very large family! It is vital that our staff can maintain the balance between the informal, inclusive atmosphere with the necessity to maintain high standards in the running of the café.

Equally, as an organisation developing in size and capacity, there will often be times when you will need to be self-directed in your work – taking initiative and thinking on your feet.

You will be expected to ‘get stuck in’ at all levels of the organisation, happy to do the organisational and managerial aspects of the role as well as the more everyday tasks. Wave Café also places huge value on the relational and interpersonal aspects of the role – it will be important that you can work alongside and get along with all different types of people.

Who we’re looking for

For this role, we are looking for someone with experience of working in a small business, charity or start-up environment. Alternatively, someone with a background in education or support work with adults, children or learning disability.

We want someone dynamic and creative, who can bring a fresh and exciting pair of eyes to this small social enterprise as it seeks to take the next steps in its growth. Good inter-personal skills are essential, as there will be lots of relationship building and community work involved with the post. We also require someone with the capacity to line-manage a varied team, and proven experience of planning and delivering projects.

You should have an interest in food and the creative arts, and a keen imagination, able to devise and plan engaging activities and events at the café. Some experience of working with websites, data management and social media would be desirable.

You may have previous experience working within an inclusive environment, or with people with learning disability, but it is not essential. Above all, you will be willing to work with difference, and open to learning from this experience. We recognise that changing one’s own attitudes to disability and difference can take time and hard work – we’re all on the journey!

Please refer to job description for more details.

How to apply

Please send a CV before Friday 28th May. You should include a brief personal statement (no more than 500 words) explaining why you are attracted to working in an inclusive environment and why you feel you will be suited to work within Wave Cafe.

Shortlisting will take place in the week beginning Monday May 31st. Interviews will take place over Zoom, and these are planned for the week beginning Monday June 14th.

Wave Café is committed to an equal opportunities policy for employment. If you feel you require support with any aspect of the application process, for whatever reason, the please let us know.

UNISON is the UK’s leading public services trade union, with over 1.3 million members working in the public sector, private, voluntary and community sectors and in the energy services. We employ approximately 1,200 staff, with around 370 at our national centre in Euston in central London and the remainder in our 12 regions across the UK, including Northern Ireland.

UNISON is looking for a new Director of Communications to lead our in-house team and develop our communications and engagement with our 1.3 million members, our network of activists, potential members and the wider public.

UNISON members have been at the heart of the UK’s response to the pandemic – caring for patients, supporting people in care homes, and keeping our communities and key services going. And the union has been right by their side, organising, campaigning and providing support, advice and practical help.

Public support for key workers is high. Yet our members’ experience has also been of years of underfunding, job cuts and the endless reorganisation and fragmentation of public services. Not to mention a decade that has seen pay kept low and a real-terms drop in income.

If the lessons of the pandemic are to be learned, it’s never been more vital to make the case for investing in quality public services, creating a national care service and properly rewarding our key workers.

There’s a lot to do and a million stories to tell.

Do you want to use your skills to make a real difference in the world? Through quality fundraising, Chell Perkins Ltd exists to make a very real and lasting impact on the third sector. We want to identify, partner with and nurture the next generation of potential fundraisers to see all charities have access to bespoke, exceptional and affordable fundraising support.

Personally, Stuart and I have been blessed by the charities we have worked with. They offered us training, sharpened our fundraising skills, challenged us, and invested in our ability to fundraise well: releasing us to help more individuals with deeper support. 

Chell Perkins Ltd wishes to pay this kindness forwards through our Junior Fundraising Training Programme. 

Break into fundraising and make a difference:

If you want to use your skills to help charities, this five year training programme will teach you everything you need to know about fundraising, whilst giving you considerable on-the job training and support. 

How it works:

Year 1 - Fundraising Officer: You’ll be inducted into an immersive training programme, featuring online/classroom training, self study and key textbooks. There is plenty of practical experience with trusts and foundations, event, corporate, individual donor and major donor fundraising. This is all aimed to equip you for your Certificate in Fundraising in year two.

Year 2 - Fundraising Consultant: This year you will have the opportunity to complete IOF's Certificate in Fundraising.  This is the industry recognised qualification for frontline fundraisers, fully funded by Chell Perkins Ltd. It provides the theory and principles behind successful fundraising and practical skills to make an immediate impact on fundraising results. With your increased experience and knowledge, you will find yourself taking the lead more with our client’s trust and foundation, direct mail, capital and event fundraising. 

Year 3/4 - Senior Consultant: By year three, you will have experienced fundraising across a diverse range of income streams. This learned experience will now see you assisting Chell Perkins Ltd with strategy formation and consultation work throughout the third sector. We will offer some candidates the chance at this stage for our Senior Consultants to enter into a Level 7 qualification either with the Institute of Fundraising or the University of Kent.

Year 5 - Principle Consultant/Team Leader: As the scheme progresses and you continue to sharpen your fundraising toolkit, you will be given the choice of two directions: working towards being a Principal Consultant or becoming a Team Leader. 

Team Leader - This role will see you managing your own team of fundraisers within a speciality or sector that suits you best. You will be responsible for ensuring all output from your team is exceptional quality, bringing the best outcomes for the charities we work for. You will help to mentor and train some of the newer members of staff on your team.

Principle Consultant - You will use your skills to now lead and partner with your own charity clients. In working with charities throughout the last 4 to 5 years, you will have built relationships and grown your capacity to support organisations in a variety of ways. Chell Perkins Ltd will support you as you transform charities through professional, passionate and pro-active fundraising.

Both roles will be instrumental to ensure that Chell Perkins Ltd continues to support charities and make their Vision A Reality.

Why ChellPerkins?

At the end of this scheme you will be a fundraising expert, trained in every aspect of the job and capable of talking to clients and organisations of all shapes and sizes. But there’s much more to the scheme than the nuts and bolts. Although we are biased (of course) the Chell Perkins team are a great bunch of people to work with. We really care about your future, our clients and the world we all share. We want you to become part of the family, enjoying a sometimes-chaotic, always-caring and fully-empowering work culture that is aimed at helping you realise your own potential.

Client mix
