Could you steer our operational strategy and development to have a lasting impact on reducing gambling-related harm and play a leading role in preventing the unnecessary loss of young lives?

Location: Flexible with the offer of a budget to pay for a hot desk in a convenient location or to work from our current office location in Manchester.

Salary: c.£65k

Appointment of a Director of Operations & People

Gambling with Lives (GwL) has had a remarkable impact on the discourse surrounding the risks of gambling since it was established in 2018. Prior to GwL’s contribution there was little to no mainstream recognition of the link between gambling and suicide. The charity’s founders have become central to the case for gambling reform and were instrumental in campaigning for the review of gambling legislation in the UK which was announced at the end of 2020.

In the context of the Gambling Act review reaching a critical juncture, and the expansion of the charity’s programmes requiring an operational focus, Gambling with Lives is re-organising its leadership structure to maximise its effectiveness, making the role of the Chairs explicit in a collaborative leadership model. The current CEO is moving into a focussed role of Strategy Director. The Co-Chairs will lead the continued development of the charity, and we are recruiting for a Director of Operations and People to enhance delivery of the charity’s programmes and central services.

The purpose of this newly created role is to develop the charity’s policies, processes and systems, to help establish the operating structure of its services, and to take responsibility for the operational delivery of the charity’s services to ensure ongoing success. The Director of Operations and People will line manage the Heads of Department and will take a significant role in steering the charity’s operational strategy and development.

We are looking for someone with proven operational management skills and experience.  A strong people manager who also enjoys developing and managing effective systems and processes.  This is a new and vital role, reporting to the Executive Chairs, which has been created following significant organisational growth.

Prospectus is delighted to be working with Supermums Consulting to recruit a Recruitment Team Leader who will inherit a team of 3 billers with plans to triple the team during 2022.

Supermums is a global award-winning social enterprise whose mission is to introduce and prepare mums for a career in CRM technology (Salesforce) and help women already working in the sector to upskill and progress their careers. This is an exciting new role to join an existing recruitment team to serve the needs of a wide-range of clients.

The overall purpose of this role is to lead a billable team, providing coaching and guidance, monitor KPIs. You will use your proven experience of recruitment to shape the growth strategy and inspire your team to achieve targets. Initially this role will also include you being a billable consultant due to the small size of the team, but as the team grows this direct delivery responsibility would become less.

To be successful as a Recruitment Team Leader you will have demonstrable experience in a recruitment agency setting. You will also have proven line management experience, a strong billing history and a passion to help people follow their own career aspirations.

As a specialist Recruitment Practice we are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.

In order to apply, simply submit your CV. Should your experience be suitable, we will send you the full job description and arrange for a call to assess your suitability and discuss the role further. Please note that the role may close earlier than the date advertised.
