Are you looking for an opportunity to support a small charity's drive to ensure its office and administrative support systems meet the demands of a flexible and productive working environment? Do you agree that older people should be valued and listened to in building an inclusive and age freindly borough? If so we would like to hear from you.

Who we are

We are charity with 25 staff and 70 volunteers, specialising in support to older people in the London Borough of Bexley. The charity has undergone considerable change in the last three years, with further development likely. Older people constitute a substantial part of Bexley's population and our mix of services and support are geared toward reaching as diverse a proportion of that population as possible.

We are an organisation that has worked hard to increase the diversity of those who work for us, volunteer for us and lead us as trustees. We continue to strive to challenge any barriers in the organisation that do not make us an inclusive and diverse one, particularly for those using our services.

To make us a more representative organisation we actively encourage those from Black Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds to consider us as a place to work and volunteer. This role is no different from any other within that context.

The Role

Last year the charity upgraded all its IT systems, hardware, and administrative support functions as part of a move to a new headquarters and an increase in flexible working for its staff and volunteers. The impact of Covid has underlined the centrality of managing the relationships and issues central to efficient corporate administration. And this role will be a key one in creating a smooth interface between our systems, our contracted providers and the people who use them.

The charity also operates a volunteer-based information desk, which provides the principal information gateway into the charity’s services. As the coordinator of this resource the post holder will be responsible for maintaining the required capacity to meet caller and visitor demand.

Who you are

You are someone who is enthusiastic about the contribution that older people play in creating a socially inclusive society. You will be someone who is able to think laterally about how we use information and support technology to shape our working environment. But you will also be someone who is organised and structured in meeting the multiple demands central to a smooth-running office and the needs of people who work in it.

We will also expect you to have a high level of competence in supporting and developing our use of cloud-based support systems including our HR management tools, CRM and Office 365, as well as an ability to oversee our technical relationships central to our IT and telecoms systems.

You are a good communicator and a friendly face able to anticipate potential challenges and issues arising from office systems that don’t always work as well as planned.

On top of your salary, we offer a work-based pension and employers’ contribution of 6%. We also provide free access to independent counselling and a generous allowance for annual leave.

Who you are

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.  You'll also be part of our senior management team with the CEO and deputy CEO, helping to shape the strategy of the organisation.

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!

We’re an award-winning charity that runs local learning centres in the heart of communities where the young people we support live. Our centres provide an innovative education programme which includes practical learning support and motivational and confidence-building activities for children and young people aged 7-18. Our aim is to inspire students from the least advantaged neighbourhoods to broaden their horizons and achieve their full potential. From Autumn 2021 we will have 35 centres and extension projects across England and Scotland, with ambitious plans to scale-up our provision further over the coming years.

Our employees are at the heart of the high-quality service that we provide to our students. We currently have a staff team of around 200 and will be expanding this over the coming years. Working under the Director of Finance (who has overall organisational responsibility for HR), we are looking for an experienced HR professional to become our Head of People & Culture, to lead our HR function, to act as the charity’s organisational lead on its culture, and to sit on the charity’s Senior Leadership Team. You will act as the charity’s Senior Leadership Team lead for Diversity and Inclusion for non-programme matters, working with the rest of the Senior Leadership Team to ensure that the charity is an inclusive place to work and there is equity of opportunity at IntoUniversity.

As a charity with social mobility as its core objective, IntoUniversity is wholly committed to equality of opportunity. We work with children and young people from a diverse range of backgrounds, and we believe that our staff team should be similarly diverse and representative. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be, and we recognise that we have much more to do in this regard. We are committed to building a culture where students, staff and volunteers are valued for the unique people they are. We therefore encourage applications from candidates from as wide a range as possible of ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds. In particular, we actively and warmly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, male candidates and candidates with a disability as they are currently under-represented within IntoUniversity.

Please note, we will be assessing applications on a rolling basis and we reserve the right to recruit earlier, so please submit your application as soon as possible.

Your role is to lead a team to build and maintain partnerships with local authorities (LAs) and children’s trusts, in order to develop and support 600+ Fellows (alumni) annually through our key programmes. This is directly linked to achieving Frontline’s organisational objective of having 4,000 impactful Fellows by 2025, who will create social change for children without a safe or stable home.

This is a relatively new team created by consolidating activities and accountability across the organisation to become the lead interface to Frontline partners for all our programmes and initiatives.  We are looking for a Head of Partnerships and Placements to lead this team and ensure targets are met for partnerships, programme places, and overall partner satisfaction.  Additionally they will play an active role within Frontline’s Leadership Group.

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater ethnic minority representation in our senior roles. We know the value ethnic minority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply and will keep applications open until we have satisfactory representation on the shortlist.
