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
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

The South Downs National Park Authority are about to embark on an exciting new challenge! Having taken ownership of an iconic area of the English landscape located on the eastern edge of the park, we will now manage the Seven Sisters Country Park. Our aspiration is to develop the Country Park as a “must see” tourist destination delivering the best possible visitor experience supported by a world-class visitor centre.
We are aiming high to ensure all visitors to Seven Sisters have the best possible experience which exceeds their expectations. We will achieve this by offering a variety of visitor options including providing information and interpretation areas, education opportunities, accommodation – cottages and camping, various food options and the ultimate option of being outside and enjoying all the natural environment has to offer.

We are actively working to ensure the natural environment, its species and habitats are protected and enhanced and the impacts of climate change are reduced.

A clear understanding and commitment to match commercialism with the protection and enhancement of the landscape is also a key part of this role.
We are looking for a strong, commercially aware, people-focused manager with adept emotional intelligence, communication, facilitation and problem-solving skills, as well as an agile, flexible and can-do approach. Good project management and change management skills are important as is the ability to be sensitive yet innovative in terms of income generation.
