Could you be our new Delivery Team Senior Manager?

This is a temporary role to provide senior programme and people management for our delivery team at the British Institute of Human Rights (BIHR). The role is fixed term during our Head of Policy and Programme’s maternity leave.

BIHR is made up of a talented and experienced Delivery Team who are Human Rights Act (HRA) practice specialists. For this post we are looking for an excellent manager, committed to supporting a small, busy, expert team to deliver Human Rights Act (HRA) practice, communications and policy work.

Your operational management and strategic thinking are the primary skills and experience needed. You do not need to be a subject expert in the HRA; that is the job of our Delivery Team. You must however, like all of BIHR’s team, be a champion for our work and bring the skills, knowledge and experience needed to support our team in the planning and delivery of BIHR’s objectives

This is an exciting role for someone with established management experience in the charity/voluntary sector, with a keen interest in UK human rights.

Do you enjoy presenting, building relationships, and networking?  Are you able to inspire others to bring lasting change?  If so, we’d love to hear from you!

The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with over 150 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. As a leading international Christian development charity, we work in 10 countries across Africa and Asia to defeat leprosy and transform lives.

Today, one person every two minutes is diagnosed with leprosy. It’s a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable.  Left untreated, it causes permanent disability. Stigma means that people affected by this disease are often rejected by those closest to them. 

We are looking for an inspirational communicator to be the face of The Leprosy Mission. You’ll be working from home, with extensive travel across your region. As part of a fun and supportive team, you’ll be changing the lives of people who have been rejected by society. There’s nothing more rewarding that that!

We have a culture of growing and learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. You’ll also have opportunities to visit projects overseas and see our work first hand.

We’re looking for:

• an engaging public speaker to a range of audiences including churches, community groups and businesses
• proven success in fundraising or sales
• a confident networker
• experience of managing volunteers
• excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• willingness to work on Sundays and evenings as required, and occasional Saturdays
• the ability to develop and deliver a regional fundraising strategy.

TLM is an explicitly Christian charity, serving those of all faiths and none. There is an occupational requirement for the Community Partnerships Manager to be a committed Christian as you will be preaching in supporting churches. 

A valid UK driving license is an essential requirement for the role. The successful candidate will be required to undertake a work health questionnaire.

TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people. Successful candidates are expected to understand, sign and comply with all organisational policies, including the Safeguarding Code of Conduct and the Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy. Recruitment to all roles within TLM includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the community, who have permission to work in the UK.

To apply and for more information on this role and the work of TLMGB, please visit our website.

If you’re interested in a job share, please confirm your availability to work Sundays and two days in the week in your application. We may close the vacancy early depending on the numbers of applicants. To avoid disappointment, please apply early.
