We have recently launched a new strategic plan which reinforces that our purpose is to build a fairer future with an end to poverty, injustice and inequality.

We work towards this by:

• Addressing poverty and injustice through advice and support and influencing systemic change.
• Shifting power to people and communities affected by injustice and inequality.
• Collaborating to end poverty and build fairer systems and institutions. What we want to see in the world starts with our community and our organisation.

This means:

• Working together to build a thriving local community where people have the resources they need, feel their voices are heard and are optimistic about the future.
• Being a good employer, where people are treated fairly, feel engaged and empowered, and work together to achieve our shared vision.
• Acknowledging the role Toynbee Hall has historically played in civic society while recognising that our role now is to shift power, to be an effective partner, and to amplify voices that are less likely to be heard.

This is an exciting time for SEEN, with notable achievements and learning which has provided Barnardo's with comprehensive insights to build on. A new theory of change is being shaped, and new programmes of work are in development to amplify impact, and align with the new organisational corporate strategy and the external environment Barnardo's is operating in.

We are looking for an inspirational, highly motivated, solution-focused strategic leader with exceptional relational skills and extensive experience of anti-racist practice to head up SEEN. This dynamic and influential role will drive inclusive, anti-racist practices and lead a high-performing team which includes the Head of the National FGM Centre.
