You will be responsible for applying for grants for the varied work of the charity and managing relationships with a portfolio of existing funders.  You will work with the CEO to contribute to and shape the organisation’s fundraising strategy, which is likely to involve diversifying our funding strategy into additional types of fundraising.

They are funded by the dedicated barristers who also volunteer their time and skills.

As demand for their service increases they are now creating a new role as Head of Operations to lead and oversee core operational functions to ensure effective day-to-day operations. Your responsibilities will include working with the CEO and trustees to ensure effective governance and compliance for the charity and supporting with the day to day management of the charity’s finances. You will oversee the HR function including recruitment, onboarding, performance, staff development and training. In addition, you will ensure smooth office operations supporting with IT and office management and will act as the charity’s data protection lead.

The successful candidate will have previous experience in an operational management role, with exposure to governance, finance and HR as priority areas. You will bring excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities. You will have experience of managing contracts and supplier relationships and have excellent people skills in order to engage with and support the wider organisation. With this being a newly created role this will require adaptability and is also an opportunity for the incoming Head to shape the role for the future.
