London South Bank University Students’ Union is on a mission to totally transform the way a students’ union works in a modern university. We are now seeking an outstanding professional leader to join the organisation as Chief Executive to take forward its future development, operational delivery and management across a growing team of staff and volunteers.

About the role

LSBSU is the recognised representative body of 18,000 students at London South Bank University. Many of our students come from less privileged backgrounds and have had to overcome significant barriers in life simply to get to university.

South Bank students have high expectations and ambitions for themselves but lead complex lives where they are faced with the pressures of trying to balance their studies with work and juggling their lives at home. Many don’t identify primarily as students, but instead as carers, nurses, engineers, parents, designers, workers, entrepreneurs, apprentices, last chance learners, and Londoners.

In recent times, realising that much of our activity was not engaging significant parts of our student population, we have taken a long hard look at ourselves. We know that we can do so much more for our students.

Following a period of transition, we have set out an ambitious vision for 2025 that will take us on a journey of improvement and innovation. Our goal is to be a truly transformative students’ union that improves the lives of students on every course and beyond at London South Bank University. We have set a plan for year one, and goals for year five, but how we get there could take many routes and we will need you as CEO to steer that journey.

This is a brilliant opportunity to support an SU which is rebuilding itself from the ground up. We have invested heavily in our transformation, started to build a more inclusive and equitable workplace, and we have significant changes to governance in the pipeline for 2021.

As CEO, you will have the chance to bring people into the senior team and work collaboratively with our Officers, Board and University partner to establish the best way to achieve our goals for 2025.

Who we're looking for

Our ideal Chief Executive will be able to provide dynamic leadership, be motivated to change students’ lives and be passionate about building an organisation that is relevant and responsive to those it seeks to serve.

You need to have strong communication skills, emotional intelligence and an ability to build relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders. It is essential that you are committed to role modelling inclusive behaviours, building equity and removing the systemic barriers that exist to hold our students back.

We are actively looking to diversify our Trustee board and leadership team as this has not been as diverse as our student population in the past. We are especially interested to hear from candidates from BAME communities and/or candidates that have overcome other significant barriers in their lives.

If you are inspired by the job, we highly recommend you contact Peridot for an informal discussion and background on the role.

The Executive Assistant role is a key support to Stewardship’s CEO and five person leadership team by assisting the leadership team and trustees operate effectively in their leadership, governance and external promotion of Stewardship and its charitable objectives.

The role will involve organising and coordinating the team’s schedule by organising key external and internal meetings, administrative support to the senior team as well as communicating with key stakeholders on behalf of both the CEO and Leadership Team. 

A key part of the role will also be acting as the focal point for the Chair and other non-executive trustees in their support for Stewardship.

The role requires a proactive team player who engages with and supports the work of the leadership of the organisation. Someone who can balance the need to use their own initiative while taking direction from a variety of senior staff to deliver the best outcomes for the organisation.

If you like working in a dynamic fast moving Christian team, dealing with all varieties of people and moving effortlessly from basic administration to organising complex and sensitive events this role is perfect.

Main responsibilities and duties include, but will not be limited to:

• proactively manage the CEO’s complex and varied diary focused on external relationships and provide similar diary and administrative support to the Leadership Team when necessary; coordinate domestic and overseas travel for the CEO and Leadership Team;
• act as the key contact point for the CEO and Leadership Team, handling correspondence and external enquiries and responding on their behalf, and assisting in preparing and managing communications to the wider staff team, Trustees or key clients, where appropriate;
• Be the point of contact for the chair and trustees including organising the Stewardship Trustee Council and its committees on a quarterly cycle (including two further boards: Lamb’s Passage Holdings and Stewardship America). This includes: coordinating attendance, distributing papers, undertaking some Company Secretary duties and writing the minutes of the meetings. Less regular duties include updating the Trustee Handbook, coordinating any Trustee recruitment processes and organising the annual trustee retreat.
• prepare agendas, papers, and presentations for key internal meetings, including monthly Extended Leadership Team, quarterly All Staff meetings and an annual staff retreat;
• carry out special projects for the CEO and Leadership Team, to help achieve the strategic goals of the organisation;
• Occasionally provide additional support to the Reception & Hospitality Team when required.

Snowdon Trust, a national charity based near Horsham, West Sussex, wishes to appoint a new Chief Executive to start towards the end 2020.
The Trust was established by Lord Anthony Snowdon in 1981 to help people living with a wide range of disabilities to achieve their goals in further or higher education or vocational training. Since 1981 we have given grants of over £4 million to help more than 2,700 people to achieve qualifications and futures that might not otherwise have been possible.
The Trust is in a period of evolution and we would expect the incoming Chief Executive to have an overlap with the current postholder with the express intention of creating new opportunities to develop the Trust as an organisation in order to make a significant difference in the experience of disabled students and those who support them. This may involve reviewing the current portfolio of funding and creating and implementing a 3 to 5 year forward looking strategy for the organisation.
The job description will be flexible to reflect the future direction of the Trust but it would be expected that the ideal candidate will have:
• Proven experience in strategic planning and delivering a growth/development pathway
• Knowledge of relevant legislation and the practical implications for learning/studying with a disability and/or an understanding of disability from a personal experience perspective
• Ability to act as ambassador for the charity including the ability to represent the charity’s aims to the directors of companies, Members of Parliament, and trustees of charitable bodies with a view to increasing support for the charity and extending its income generation, evidence of fundraising experience would be a distinct advantage
• Experience in personnel management and motivation in a small office environment (currently five part-time members of staff). Whilst the physical office is based in Horsham, it may, in time, be possible to create a remote working or virtual office
• Experience in financial control such as liaising with auditors and accountants, preparation of budgets and budgetary control, salaries and taxation, office and personal insurances.
The position is currently part time (around 25 hours per week), but this will be negotiable depending on fulfilling the needs of the Trust.
Applicants should e-mail a covering letter of not more than 2 sides addressing the ideal candidate specification and stating salary expectations along with a CV.
Closing date: Applications to be received by the Trust no later than 16th August 2020
