About Breathe Arts Health Research

The Breathe Arts Health Research team believe everybody has the equal right to lead a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. For some people, however, there are significant barriers to this: ill health, a stressful job, loneliness, or simply living in a society that is not well adapted to their physical or emotional needs. There is strong evidence that the arts can offer people facing these challenges something very special: the chance to discover their creativity and interact with others, giving them purpose and value.  By drawing on this research and breathing music, magic, dance - and much more - into healthcare spaces and communities, we offer people hope, friendship and fulfilment when they need it most. We do this through a diverse range of evidence-based performing arts programmes, co-created with clinicians and artists in order to deliver life-changing experiences.

We have received wide recognition for our innovative, high quality work, including the Action for Children’s Arts Outstanding Contribution Award, NHS England’s Innovation Challenge Award, PwC’s Social Entrepreneurs Club Award and Nesta’s ‘New Radicals’ accolade.  We have featured on BBC Breakfast, London News, ‘Trust Me I’m a Doctor’ and other media. As we now move on from our start-up phase to become more established and sustainable, our ambition is to grow our arts in health programmes and change more people’s lives for the better.  That’s where this role comes in.

About this role

The Head of Development will develop and deliver an effective income generation strategy, taking the lead on managing and growing our relationships with a wide range of new and existing supporters. That means making the most out of some great existing partnerships as well as developing new opportunities, all of which will contribute to us supporting more people.

Breathe is in a great position when it comes to fundraising. We have a strong network of businesses and individuals that are incredibly passionate about our work.  We have a fantastic story and an enthused, engaged set of patrons and ambassadors willing to support our fundraising.  This is a new, standalone role, however all the Breathe team are very engaged in fundraising so the Head of Development will receive excellent, proactive assistance from them, the Managing Director and a network of talented artists ready to participate in events and initiatives in a creative, engaging way.

About you

You are highly empathic and are motivated by building effective relationships.  You’ll have extensive experience in corporate or community fundraising, business development or account management, with a deep understanding of how to build and manage a wide range of partnerships. Specifically:

• You have an aptitude and love for storytelling, being able to influence and persuade both companies and individuals to support Breathe. You can express yourself compellingly in writing and speech, with superb presentation skills
• You are not intimidated by a big financial target (at least £150,000 of income each year)
• You want to work for an organisation that values kindness, innovation and excellence

How to apply

Breathe Arts Health Research is an equal opportunities employer and we embrace diversity within our team. We positively welcome applications from individuals who identify as Deaf and/or disabled and people of all ethnicities.

To apply, please combine into one document (Word or PDF) your tailored CV - up to 3 pages - and a supporting statement - up to 1,000 words - outlining why you want to work for Breathe, why this role appeals, and how you match the criteria outlined in the person specification in the job description. Please also complete an equal opportunity monitoring form and return this with your application. This should reach us by 6pm on 24th November 2019. 

Head of Service - Permanent. Full time / part-time (28 – 35 hours ) Flexible working negotiable. 

Come and lead the growth and development of our service. Reach connects people who want to volunteer their professional skills with charities that need those skills. Every year our online service matches a growing number of charities with trustees and skills-based volunteers. This is an interesting and wide ranging role, managing an innovative and successful service with plenty of potential to extend and deepen its impact. 

Reach Volunteering  

Reach Volunteering is the leading skills-based volunteering charity in the UK and the single biggest source of trustees. We help charities to strengthen their governance by broadening the range of experience on their board. We support them to increase their operational capacity and capability by drawing in specialist expertise on a voluntary basis. Since we took our service online in 2015, we have doubled our impact. Last year over 1,300 trustees and volunteers were appointed through our service, and this year we expect to exceed 1,700. We use a service design approach to improve our service and we pride ourselves on being a ‘user-centred’ organisation. 

The role  

The head of service role is a new position. It will bring focus, structure and momentum to our service and add strategic capacity to our team.

You will have overall responsibility for the management of the service, including the staff and volunteer service team. You will be responsible for all (non digital) aspects of delivery, such as managing the staff and volunteer service team, refining policies and procedures, and collecting and analysing performance and outcome data. You will develop and oversee partnerships that increase our engagement with charities and volunteers, or generate income, or both.  

We have a very collaborative culture. You will be working closely with the CEO to agree priorities, with the head of digital, who leads the service design process, and with the head of marketing and communications. You will lead on, or contribute to, specific projects, for example, a programme to increase regional take-up, or a design-led research project on skills-based volunteering.  

You will deputise for the CEO, represent Reach at external events and contribute to thought leadership on skills-based volunteering and trustee recruitment.  

Who we are looking for  

We are looking for someone with the following experience, skills and knowledge.

• Service management: proven track record in managing a service successfully, including managing a team, setting and meeting targets and developing policies and procedures.
• Partnerships: experience in developing and managing strategic partnerships with a range of organisations. 
• Strategic thinking: ability not just to see the big picture, but to join the dots between pictures – to see how links can be made to continuously build success and achievement for Reach, our service users and the wider sector.
• Analytical: Ability to analyse complex data, and draw on your analysis, and insights from our user research, to inform decision making and guide continuous improvement of our service.
• Learning: appetite to learn new skills and ways of working, with enthusiasm to get stuck in at both strategic and nitty-gritty implementation levels.
• Collaboration: deeply collaborative and collegiate in approach, respecting contributions of staff and volunteers, and partners.
• Charity sector experience: an understanding of the needs of the non-profit/charity sector.

Why join Reach 

• We have a collaborative, friendly and supportive culture. You will be encouraged and supported to take risks and to learn and develop, and you will enjoy plenty of autonomy.  
• You will be able to draw on the expertise and enthusiasm of a team that has embedded service design approaches, and be supported by an organisation that has a user-centred mindset. There is a lot of potential to widen and deepen our impact, so you will be able to make a big difference to our organisation and to the charity sector as a whole.  
• You will be joining a small, but well-respected, national charity working at sector level to address key issues such as trustee recruitment, board diversity and organisational capability. This is an opportunity to genuinely influence and shape the future of the sector by supporting key volunteering and governance infrastructure. 
• We can offer flexible working. This role is offered at 28 – 36 hours. Other options for flexible working are negotiable.  
• Other benefits include 26 days annual leave, plus three bonus days at Christmas (plus Bank Holidays); up to six days volunteering leave per annum and pension contributions at 5 per cent.

How to apply 

If you would like an informal conversation about the role before applying, please contact Aman (details on our website) to arrange a phone call with Janet, our CEO.  

We are keen to make our recruitment process as fair as possible, and to reduce bias. We will be shortlisting based on your response to three questions using ‘blinding’ and ‘chunking’ processes, so please make sure that each of your responses to the questions below stands on its own merits and does not rely on information from your other responses.
