Recruitment manager jobs in east barnet, greater london

Pecan is looking for their next CEO who can lead their staff teams and volunteers to take their incredible work forward and be able to have even more impact in the community.

Pecan are passionate about transforming the lives of those in their local community through: holistic practical and emotional support to those in their time of need, both in the moment and empowering lasting change; by connecting services and working in partnership, including with local churches, businesses, charities and councils; and by putting kindness, belief and hope at the heart of everything they do.

About you:

The next CEO will be someone with a passion for the impact Pecan is delivering and a heart for relationship building; committed to making a difference in the lives of the disadvantaged in Peckham.

You will bring your dynamic leadership experience, ideally gained in the charity or not for profit sector, with a range of knowledge and skills across people management, strategy development, operational oversight, fundraising, governance and finance.  Your leadership, energy and care will enable staff and volunteers to be their best.

You will use your stakeholder and networking skills to connect with empathy with people from a wide variety of background and faiths, including staff, volunteers, clients of services, funders, other charities, member churches and other local stakeholders; in order to inspire support and strengthen purposeful collaboration.

You’ll have both a practical and strategic approach. You’ll bring the ability to be more hands-on in ensuring Pecan is working well operationally; plus take a deep and practical interest in the on-the-ground projects they run.  To complement this, you’ll be able to step back to see the strategic picture. You’ll bring vision and new ideas, combined with great listening skills, humility and the ability to unite stakeholders around the chosen direction.

Ideally, you’ll have a good understanding and experience of our Peckham community, but if not, you’ll bring a strong understanding of communities who may have a similar profile, with a commitment to get to know the community that Pecan serves.

As a Christian charity, there is a genuine occupational requirement in Pecan’s Articles for the CEO to be a Christian. Part of your role will be to nurture key relationships with local churches, so you’d be comfortable in a church context and to pray with and talk to them about opportunities to support the work of Pecan. You will also be able to lead a workforce of diverse faiths.

You may already be in a CEO role (interim or otherwise), or you’re in a leadership role that has the ingredients we are looking for and you’re ready to take your next step. Or perhaps you want to move out of the corporate world and feel your experiences to date will set you up well for this role. 

We want to hear about any professional or personal experiences that could contribute to your success in this role too!

What we can offer you:

Salary: Circa £60,000 - £65,000 per annum, negotiable dependant on experience. Reviewed on an annual basis.

Location: Pecan, 121a Peckham High Street, London SE15 5SE. 

Some hybrid working available with a minimum of three to four days on site a week. Initially there may be more in person time required as you connect with colleagues and our impact services.

Hours of work: Your contracted hours are 36 hours per week. 

Pension: Pecan will provide a pension contribution of 8% of salary.

Life Assurance: Life Assurance cover of four times annual salary.

Holiday: 30 days annual leave; plus Bank Holidays. 

Probation: The role is subject to a 6 months’ probationary period.
