At Orchid Project, we have a clear vision. We work towards a world free from female genital cutting (FGC) – something we believe is entirely possible. Every year, 4.1 million girls are cut as a result of the practice. We are a small but growing and dynamic charity with a proven track record of delivering programmes, advocacy and communications to end FGC.

We want to scale our work and increase the focus of ending the practice of cutting by 2030.  To deliver on this promise requires us to inspire others to see their role in ending FGC.  We need to continue working with partners and grow networks at global, regional and national levels.

The Head of Development reports to our CEO and works closely with all our teams. You will take responsibility for income generation, specifically leading on institutional and trust and foundation income. This is a broad role, which will also include working with me on stewarding major donor relationships as well as developing online fundraising.

We are looking for someone keen to be part of our senior leadership team. We are a nimble, effective and passionate team. We thrive on partnerships and are open and transparent in our behaviours. We are seeking a team player, and someone with a positive outlook and drive for making a difference for girls and women, globally. You’ll need a solid grounding in institutional and trusts fundraising, alongside a can-do, open, and collaborative approach. You’ll also need to be interesting in the development of your team through mentoring and coaching.

Orchid Project is committed to being actively anti-racist. We encourage people from all backgrounds and experiences to apply. We value lived experience and encourage you to apply even if you do not meet 100% of the person specification.

Inclusion Barnet is small local charity with big ambitions; we deliver services for both disabled people and the wider community. We pride ourselves on being a bright and passionate team which works together to create a friendly and supportive working culture, so we can ultimately make a difference to the people and organisations we support. 

We’re looking for an individual with excellent leadership skills to lead our services and projects which focus on community and community development. 

The successful applicant will lead our delivery of local voluntary sector support, working as part of our successful Barnet Together partnership with Young Barnet Foundation and Groundwork London.  As well as representing Inclusion Barnet and the wider voluntary sector across local boards and forums, you'll work to bring the sector together through leading various sector groups. You’ll work collaboratively with our wider system partners to advocate for and implement our exciting voluntary sector manifesto, ensuring these partners understand the sector’s capabilities and work in ways which build on and support these. You also work to develop and publicise our new organisational membership offer, ensuring we reach all the community groups we exist to benefit. 

Alongside the Barnet Together role, you’ll have oversight of our Healthwatch and Partnership Libraries contracts, working closely with the managers of these services to ensure they continue to thrive and develop. 

You won't be doing all this on your own - with four direct reports and an overall team of eight, this role involves managing managers and providing leadership across the services to take them to the next level.

To do this, you’ll need to be able to think strategically and creatively and manage in a supportive and collaborative style.  A confident presenter, excellent relationship-builder and a reflective professional, you’ll be excited by the challenge, intrinsically motivated to make a difference, and keen to build on the success of these services to date. This is a varied and rewarding role, and you will be able to make a real impact on Barnet's voluntary and community sector at a time when the sector has never been more essential in the long-term recovery from covid-19. 

Whilst it is initially a fixed term contract to March 2023, we hope to be able to confirm it as a permanent role within the next 12 months.  Through your excellent work, you’ll help us make that a reality. 

You will become part of a friendly and supportive team, working within a focused but flexible culture, where diversity is valued and you can bring your whole self to work. 

As a Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation (DDPO), we always welcome applications from disabled candidates, but lived experience of disability is not essential for this role.  However, the successful candidate will need a commitment to the social model of disability and a passion for thriving, inclusive communities.  They will also be willing to think strategically about how we reflect our identity as a DDPO in our portfolio of communities work.

The role will be entirely home based during Covid, but the successful candidate must be able to be based in our Colindale office in the future and travel to meetings around the Borough of Barnet.  Whilst it is ultimately a Barnet-based role, we anticipate that there will continue to be regular opportunities for home working going forward, and we encourage flexible working to suit your work preferences where possible.  We also operate a Time Off In Lieu (TOIL) system. 

To apply, please submit your CV with a brief covering letter clearly stating how you meet the person specification.

The successful candidate must be willing to undergo a DBS check and have the right to work in the UK. 

We look forward to hearing from you!
