About the role
The Programme Director role is an exciting new opportunity to lead the recently established Southern VCSE Collaborative (SVC), enabling it to deliver contracts collaboratively across the voluntary and community sector and at scale. The role will be employed technically by Southampton Voluntary Services but fully seconded into SVC.
SVC is a newly established, system-backed partnership bringing together five charities – No Limits, Solent Mind, Southampton Voluntary Services (SVS), Citizens Advice Southampton and Social Care in Action (SCiA).
SVC does not directly deliver services; instead, it works through a network of VCSE partners to deliver high-quality, community-based provision. SVC currently holds a £2.8m per annum contract (6 years with the option to extend for a further 4 years) delivered through 15 providers and has ambitious plans to grow its reach and impact across Southampton, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
We are seeking an experienced Programme Director to provide strategic and operational leadership at this critical stage of development. This is a senior system leadership role, combining partnership-building, programme development and disciplined oversight of performance, finance and governance. As a new role, we are open to exploring the precise make up hours. The role is advertised as 0.8FTE, but other options can be suggested to deliver the required responsibilities.
You will:
- Act as the senior representative and “face” of SVC with commissioners, statutory partners and the VCSE
- Lead system, partnership and programme development across Southampton, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight
- Position SVC as a trusted system partner and secure new programmes and contracts
- Oversee delivery across multiple VCSE partners, ensuring strong performance, quality assurance and continuous improvement
- Manage contract performance, including KPIs, financial oversight and risk
- Support the Board of Directors with governance, strategy and organisational development, including fulfilling Company Secretary responsibilities
About you
You will bring:
- Significant experience working with commissioners and the voluntary sector in complex, multi-partner environments
- A strong track record of leading programmes or contracts involving multiple delivery partners
- Financial and performance management credibility, with the ability to oversee budgets, risk and value for money
- Excellent communication, influencing and negotiation skills
- The ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and shape emerging models
- A values-driven, collaborative leadership style, with the confidence to both support and challenge partners
You will have a recognised programme or transformation qualification, or equivalent senior-level experience leading complex programmes.
We are open to flexible delivery models within the set budget and welcome candidates to propose how they would structure the role.
