Do you share our passion for supporting people with neuro-disabilities? Do you have a clinical background as a therapist, social worker or nurse? Would you welcome the opportunity to serve as our new CEO?

If you do, Integrated Neurological Services (INS) would like to hear from you.

Integrated Neurological Services (INS) is a unique charity. Founded in 1993, we offer long-term, holistic support to people with neuro disabilities, in particular Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke.

We work closely with the NHS and local authorities to bridge the gap in their support services to people with neuro disabilities and we maintain support for people once active NHS input has ended. INS have contracts in Hounslow and Richmond providing health and wellbeing preventative services as well as supporting carers.

INS have developed a reputation for achievement and innovative approaches to integrated care in the community. We are passionate about providing support to ensure all clients receive ongoing, long-term professional support tailored to their needs. Our multidisciplinary team use an integrated model of care to encourage self-help and, through rehabilitation, education and support, enable people to manage their condition, to live as fully and independently as possible within their communities and achieve the best possible quality of life for them and their carers. 

We have also recently reached an important milestone, our 25'" anniversary, which provided us with the opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved and what we hope to achieve moving forward.

Following the recent decision by our previous CEO to leave INS to take up a new position closer to where he lives, the Board took the decision to appoint an Interim to provide oversight whilst we appoint to the substantive post.

Our new CEO will preferably be a therapist, social worker or nurse who can provide INS with the visionary leadership and networking skills to champion our ethos and continue taking us forward. Their priorities will be to champion and lead our clinical work, continue our local partnership working and look to increase funding by exploring opportunities in surrounding areas.

They will be expected to be ambitious and entrepreneurial, bring energy and a vision. They will have the ability to communicate the work, success and ambition of INS and be able to lead and motivate people effectively.

About the role:

This role works alongside the Executive Director for Strategy and Fundraising to lead NEON, deputising for one another where needed and supporting the development of the overall organisation.  You will manage and set-up the organisational systems, processes and culture that underpin all of our work. The role’s seniority shows how important this work is to NEON and the status with which we hold it. 

This will look like building and training staff to implement the human systems that help people work together: decision making, information sharing, resource allocation, giving kind and constructive feedback and handling conflict.  NEON’s culture and commitment to anti-oppression is at the very core of all of our work. This role will ensure the systems and strategies are in place to maintain and refresh our culture and implement anti-oppression across all of our work.  This role will also develop a system for building the staff management and leadership competencies required for high performance, role modelling NEON’s values and enacting our commitment to anti-oppression. 

You will manage the Operations Hub of 4 people, building on existing operational systems in finance, HR and programme management to integrate the latest practice and tools. You will support the Operations Hub to train and upskill staff members in our programmatic Hubs on the core operational skills they need to implement their programmes to a consistently high standard, e.g. in budgeting, monitoring and evaluation. Where appropriate you will draw on your own skills and experience to coach participants on NEON’s programmes on organisational development.

Operations for NEON aren’t just a service for other teams, they inform the very nature of the work we do and help define our approach to change. As a result, NEON’s values of generosity, solidarity and respect and our commitment to anti-oppression should be embedded in all of our operations. As a capacity building organisation, in time, you will also support our membership to apply some of our own best practice into their organisations, helping to scale the impact of our work.

About NEON
The New Economy Organisers Network (NEON) is a not-for-profit company with 12 staff members, growing to up to 15 staff by the end of this year. We also work with a range of contractors and Associates and incubate other organisations. We are a network of over 1,600 UK organisers from different trade unions, grassroots groups, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), faith-based campaigns, civil society groups and movements from across the country. 

We run powerful trainings and support campaigns to help progressives win social, economic and environmental justice. We offer movements a range of support, from helping people lead movements like Just Treatment (organising patients to fight for the NHS), through to working with our members on over 2,500 media bookings on the UK’s biggest TV and radio channels. We’re ambitious and the team is agile, fast paced and committed to actually changing things. 

To build the power of movements for social, environmental and economic justice we organise our work around three goals: 

• Connect we bring people together who aren’t usually in the same room, working across many different issues and from many different struggles, because together there is strength. In particular, we want to build the power of campaigners and organisers from groups most affected by injustice to help change the leadership of our movements

• Focus is about how we support our members’ work to transform our social and economic systems through prioritising key battles. Our aim is to help members work together to win bigger change on key battleground issues, such as health and climate justice

• Build means supporting the development of key institutions that underpin the wider progressive movement. The range and diversity of groups needed is wide - from campaign groups to policy and training institutes. We help our members develop excellent institutions and structures that support many others.

To build a culture and community that lasts, we organise around three values: 

• Solidarity we’re here to change the system and that requires working together across issues and sectors that aren’t normally in the same room. This means placing anti-oppression at the heart of our work and building the power of people most affected by injustice to change the leadership of our movements

• Generosity is about sharing our time, resources and learning with one another as we support each other’s work. It means being open and honest with one another, especially when we hit problems, and thinking creatively about how we positively build from there

• Respect is the bottom line for all relationships in NEON. It means being respectful of different backgrounds and life experiences and giving space for all voices to be heard. This often means listening more than we talk and being open to changing ourselves as a result of what we hear. 

As the national youth council of the UK, The British Youth Council brings young people together to find their voice and use it for social and political change.  Through our programmes such as the UK Youth Parliament, Youth Select Committee and the NHS Youth Forum, we create opportunities for young people to develop their leadership skills within a youth voice setting.

We are looking for an experienced youth development professional to join the team and help us to increase the reach and impact of our leadership development opportunities.  You will work with colleagues and young people to map our leadership journey, create a theory of change, and design tools and resources to support the consistent application of leadership development throughout our work. You will also support the development of our membership engagement and growth plan, using our enhanced leadership offer as a way to engage those not already involved in our work.

This post can be home working or based in our London HQ, although regular travel to the office will be required. As a part of the team the postholder will also support the design and delivery of a numbner of our key events, including residentials, throughout the year.

The British Youth Council  is committed to safeguarding and protecting the young poeple that we work with. As such, all posts are subject to a safe recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks. We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures in place which promote safeguarding and safer working across our services.

About us

Mothers’ Union is a Christian organisation that has been supporting families for over 140 years. They have over 4 million members worldwide, 55,000 of whom in Britain and Ireland.

Key Responsibilities

1. Ensure that centrally-supported programmes and projects are compliant with sectoral best practice and help build the capacity and systems that are in place:

7. By listening to women and children, and creating maps of local resources and partners’ action plans at community and diocesan level, that incorporate a MEL tool to track change and activities this will stop unintentionally perpetuating violence against children, women and the vulnerable, as well as engendering a change of culture in the communities in which they live. This will enable the development and implementation of contextually appropriate organisational policies and practices to support the changes in each Province.

8. To represent Mothers’ Union on key external bodies and at key meetings, and be in attendance and presenting at the twice-yearly Worldwide Board meetings. To be the secretary to the Safeguarding Committee.
