We're seeking a new team member to join us to coordinate governance and administration across the organisation and support the management and engagement with each of our working partners.
Big Leaf Foundation is a small charity working with displaced young people in Surrey. Our aim is to provide a nurturing programme of activities, projects and events that focus on combating social isolation and improving wellbeing for the young people we support.
Over the past two years, Big Leaf Foundation has grown considerably, in the number of young people we are supporting, the geographical spread of those young people across Surrey, and the number of supporting partners and organisations we are working with to provide our enriching programmes. Currently our Programme Managers and Casework team manage all aspects of our programmes and activities. The coordination and management of each of the Partners we work with has resulted in our team having a reduced bandwidth to provide direct support to the young people themselves.
We're seeking a new team member to join us to coordinate governance and administration across the organisation and support the management and engagement with each of our working partners.
