Do you want to make life better for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse?

Galop, the UK’s LGBT+ anti-abuse charity, is seeking someone passionate about improving life for the LGBT+ community in the UK to be our new Executive Assistant.

Galop works directly with thousands of LGBT+ people who have experienced abuse and violence every year. We specialise in supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, and other forms of abuse including honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and so-called conversion therapies. We are a service run by LGBT+ people, for LGBT+ people, and the needs of our community are at the centre of what we do.

We run three national support helplines: for LGBT+ victims and survivors of domestic abuse, survivors of so-called “conversion therapy”, and LGBT+ people who have experienced hate crime. We provide advocacy services, both in London and nationally, for LGBT+ victims who need longer-term support. We are person-centred, empowerment-based, and trauma-informed – meaning our focus is always on helping our clients decide what is best for them and then supporting them through their journey.

We use what we learn through working on the frontlines with clients to work on national and local policy changes, to improve outcomes for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence. We build evidence through key pieces of research, like our upcoming report on LGBT+ experiences of sexual violence. We push for legislative change, improved statutory guidance for victims, and a better understanding of the needs of LGBT+ people around the country.

This brand new role will play a pivotal role in supporting Galop to achieve its mission to support LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence in the UK. You will provide administrative and project support to the CEO, as well as support the Chair of the Board and Deputy CEO as needed.

You will work closely with Galop’s CEO and the wider senior team to ensure the efficient and effective running of the executive office. You will proactively manage both internal and external demands, as well as work on key projects within the CEO’s priorities.

Due to the nature of the role, it is anticipated that this role will work mostly from the Galop building in central London, but can support one day a week working from home.

At Galop, we believe that life should be safe, just and fair for all LGBT+ people, and that includes our staff in the workplace. We believe in equity and understand the importance of inclusion for staff with a wide range of lived experiences. No matter your age, race, faith, orientation, gender identity, disability, or class, we want you to feel welcome here. To that end, Galop has a multi-year Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion plan in place, currently focusing on equity and inclusion for trans and BAMER members of staff. We are committed to listening and learning, and to constant improvement. We believe it is our job to make sure that all our staff, particularly those from minoritised backgrounds, feel welcome, safe, and able to thrive at Galop.

At The Bike Project we provide an innovative solution to one of the most pressing problems facing asylum seekers and refugees on arrival to the UK: access to transport when living on a limited income. 

Our mission is simple: each year we match refugees and asylum seekers with the many thousands of bikes that go abandoned or unloved around the country. We then go on to support these new bike owners to realise the emotional, practical and physical benefits of cycling. 9 years since that first bike donation, we are about to donate our 10,000th bike and have expanded the project to include multiple programs, from refugee befriending services to women-only cycling classes.

We have supported tens of thousands of refugees to get access to bikes, learn to cycle and created a community of colleagues, refugees, volunteers and supporters. And we’ve grown rapidly in the last few years, from £720k turnover in 2018, to £2.3m turnover in 2021 and employing almost 40 staff. Despite our success, this is just the start and we are looking for a CEO who will continue to lead The Bike Project on to even greater things!

Four days pw, permanent

London and hybrid working

Our mission is to listen to the experience of patients, residents and carers and bring about meaningful change in service provision for the communities we serve.

Under the former name of Healthwatch Central and West London we have spent over nine years championing what matters to residents, patients, and carers living in Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster and we continue to deliver a successful Healthwatch contract in Enfield.

We have achieved significant and lasting impact in people’s lives through meaningful engagement. Our well respected community research, and consistently high quality reporting has influenced the ways in which local providers have developed the delivery of health and adult social care services, addressing inequalities in access and outcome.

We are an organisation that is changing, adapting and seeking to have a greater impact for more people across a wider geographical area.

As we enter an exciting time of growth and development, building on our years of expertise and engagement with local communities and public services, we will be moving to a more commercial approach, diversifying our income, reducing our reliance on public sector procurement and growing our range of patient and public engagement services.

We are looking for an innovative new CEO, who can work with staff, volunteers and Trustees to shape the future of the organisation, secure income from a range of sources and generate positive outcomes for communities and service providers.

Ideally from a voluntary sector background, the new CEO will be an effective leader, with an understanding of income generation, experience of generating surpluses and able to operate commercially.

All of our work is founded in relationships, so the new CEO will need to be someone who is able to quickly build and sustain positive and effective working relationships with a range of stakeholders, including children and young people, older people, local community groups,  service leads, and Councillors, Directors and senior management of local authorities and the NHS. The new CEO will take our work to the next level, raising awareness, increasing income and turning Listen To Act into the go to organisation for proper, effective patient and public engagement.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the role involves confidential, high-level information, engagement with a wide range of external stakeholders, as well as offering administrative support to the charity’s small research portfolio. This is a diverse, hands-on role which requires professionalism, interpersonal skills, energy and attention to detail.

In addition, you will have the ability to manage a busy and varied workload, determine priorities, change direction at short notice, as required, whilst always remaining calm under pressure.  You will be conscientious with meticulous attention to detail.

This role requires someone who is highly organised and able to prioritise proactively, who takes ownership, can drive change and make things happen. However, we are more interested in your potential than we are in a perfect career or education. We are keen to meet people who have a passion for the work that we do and have picked up strong organisational and communication skills as they have gone along!

Deadline for applications is midnight on Monday 29th August. Interviews anticipated to take place the week beginning 12th August.
