WHO WE ARE

Small Green Shoots was founded in 2009. We are dedicated to increasing career opportunities for NEETs (not in education, employment or training) within the music and creative industries. We are the only UK arts organisation with both a black female Chair and black female CEO. We have 85% BME staff and 100% from low-income backgrounds (or parents with less than £24k per annum household earnings).

Founder Natalie Wade acknowledges that some of the shoots will have absolutely no previous awareness of what a ‘professional’ job means, so her approach to training begins with social skills - how to introduce yourself, how to hold yourself in meetings, building confidence, how to write minutes.  On the artist side, throughout the past 10 years Natalie and SGS have been vital in helping kickstart the careers of artists such as Jorja Smith, Mahalia and Emelie Sande - providing funding for recording sessions, video shoots and much more.

Introducing Global Climate Collaborative

Global Climate Collaborative (GCC) is a new international organisation seeking to make a distinct and important contribution to tackling climate change — the greatest challenge facing humanity.

Our analysis: to overcome this challenge, we need to generate the political and societal will to take the specific actions needed to rapidly reduce emissions from different sectors. While an incredible array of organisations is building pressure to achieve this and winning many battles, we believe we need both to deepen trust and collaboration among these organisations and to expand this community in order to accelerate progress and increase our collective impact. We aim to make a significant contribution to this.

As a strategic convenor, we will bring together civil society, business and new champions for climate action. We will enable high-impact international and national coalitions to secure decisive action by governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, likely focusing on two to four issues annually. We will not focus on the international negotiating process.

In addition to convening campaigns GCC also aims to deliver wider and lasting benefits to the climate struggle, by enhancing connections and learning on how we achieve our shared goals among a diverse network of allies including the private sector. 

GCC is currently housed by fiscal sponsor Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, who are responsible for issuing contracts.

About the role:

This is an important time to join S.H.E. We were set up 20 years ago as a self-help group and since that time we have grown to delivering a wide range of activities to support the women who come to us. We are proud of what we do – we are a survivor centric charity who puts the voices of the women who come to us at the heart of all we do.

But we know that we can do so much more, and we are now looking for a CEO to take the charity to the next level and help us identify new opportunities to reach, help and support more survivors.  You will also play a key role in ensuring that we have the financial stability to continue and grow this essential work.

About you:

We’re looking for an enthusiastic leader who has a successful track record of securing funding applications from a variety of sources with experience of working with a range of stakeholders including funders and service users.

It’s essential that you have an ability to empathise and be an advocate of survivors and ideally you will have experience of working in a similar environment.

We have a small team of committed staff and volunteers and we envisage that the CEO will play a key role in developing and leading the team to develop and enhance their skills. So, we’re looking for someone with a passion for getting the very best from our people.

This is an exciting and challenging role but you will have the full backing of the Chair and Board of Trustees as you work with them and our staff and volunteers to make a difference to many more survivors of sexual abuse.

About S.H.E  

Our vision is to support adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and adult sexual violence through a range of services from counselling through to life skills workshops. Our uniqueness comes through our Evaluative Need Therapy and our Lounge service; we deliver services based on individual need rather than a fixed number of sessions recognising each person’s journey from surviving to thriving is different.  The work that we do really matters. Our clients tell us that we provide them with a pathway to move beyond the pain and trauma they have suffered to a place where they feel they have a future and a hope for a fulfilled and happy life where they are able to thrive and be the very best they can be.

We are flexible about your working location, although we would expect you to be in our head office in Mansfield, Nottingham around one to two days a week when Covid restrictions are no longer in place.

The mission of Everyman Project is to benefit the community by eradicating domestic violence and abuse and by relieving victims from the effects of violence and abuse. It does this by providing in-depth counselling to people who want help to change their violent and abusive behaviours, as well as by offering practical and therapeutic support to survivors of domestic violence.  The counselling programme consists of a series of one-to-one counselling sessions followed by a series of group counselling sessions.  First registered with the Charity Commission in 1996, Everyman Project is a long established charity.  The Trustees registered the charity with Companies House in 2005 to additionally become a limited company.  Referrals come from Social Services, GPs, family and criminal courts, solicitors, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, as well as self-referrers who find EP by word of mouth and by the website. 

Each year around 2.1m people suffer domestic abuse.  The Early Intervention Foundation estimated that in 2016-17, late intervention in domestic violence and abuse cases would cost the NHS £2,479 million, police £879 million, justice system £1,230 million, and local government £642 million.  Evidence suggests that re-offending rates are high, and by some estimates, they are higher than for any other category of offending.  Everyman Project enables individuals stuck in cycles of violence to reclaim their lives and often the lives of their loved ones by breaking cycles of domestic and other interpersonal violence.

The founder and current leading member of staff intends to retire this year, and the Board of Trustees/Directors is seeking to replace him with a dynamic new CEO, able to lead and promote the organisation effectively and provide the vision necessary to take the organisation forward.  This will initially be a part time post, starting at the equivalent of two days per week, possibly increasing in line with the resources of the company and the preferences of the post holder.  Pending satisfactory performance at the 6 month review, the post will be ongoing.  The Board acknowledges that the current level of part time working and salary (£36,000 pa, FTE) are themselves insufficient remuneration for the challenges the CEO would have to face.  That is why candidates must be motivated to help the community by making a positive difference to the domestic violence sector.  If the CEO is successful at fundraising, greater remuneration would be readily approved by the Board.

With the support of a capable and motivated new CEO, Everyman Project will be able to develop and grow to be of even greater benefit to the community.  The successful applicant will be rewarded with a role enabling her or him to make a significant positive impact on the lives of many individuals, as well as on their children and partners, and indeed on the wider community, by working towards relieving the affliction of interpersonal violence, and in particular domestic violence.
