We at LEAH care deeply about some of the most vulnerable people who have been displaced from their own countries and homes and land on our shores through no fault of their own. Asylum seekers, refugees and victims of trafficking face significant barriers and we are totally focussed on supporting each individual to overcome those barriers. Our core programmes tackle a key barrier, which is a lack of functional English.
We are seeking a Head of Operations who aspires to be a Charity Director or CEO. They will hold extensive responsibilities for our programmes, delivery, IT, impact evaluation and other key areas. They will have excellent relationship management skills and display great leadership skills.
LEAH is on a journey following the acquisition of another charity and the Head of Operations will have a crucial leadership role in managing change as well as overseeing the delivery of day-to-day operations.
