Jeans for Genes Campaign is recruiting a part-time, interim CEO capable of establishing procedures and processes for the new charity whilst taking the brand and campaign to a new level.

This is an exciting opportunity to take an already successful fund-raising campaign and to use your knowledge and experience to take it new heights. Working with our creative staff and supported by a small team, the aim is to build our new charity and team into a dynamic resource that will enable us to extend the brand into new areas to attract more donors and support more genetic disorder charities through our grant programme.

The ideal candidate will have experience of national fund-raising events, knowledge of financial management and possess leadership skills to manage a small team of committed and capable employees.

You will be assisted by a board of trustees including some with personal experience of rare genetic conditions and a trade-mark owner who will support the campaign financially.

The position will suit someone looking for a temporary, employed or contract position and is expected to last until the end of December in the first instance.  A permanent part time CEO role is envisaged for 2022 once the new charity and team are established.

Working flexibly for one or two days a week (to be agreed) to oversee and manage the next annual event, salary/fees will be dependent on experience in the region of £50k-£60k FTE.

At Stonewall, our vision is for a world where everyone, everywhere can be themselves. We work to ensure acceptance without exception, so that lesbian, gay, bi and trans (LGBT) people around the world can participate fully in society and enjoy lives free from discrimination. We work to do this in a way that is aligned to our values.

Stonewall has achieved many great things since we were founded in 1989, from securing legislation which allowed same-sex couples to marry, to the repeal of Section 28.

But today, over thirty years later, our work feels more vital than ever. Our research shows that life for many LGBT people is still tough - hate crime and discrimination remain commonplace at home, work, school, and in public. We also know that COVID-19 is having a particularly acute impact on LGBT people, many of whom have found themselves trapped in hostile home environments or cut off from support networks.

But there remains much to do and our Board is working to help steer the direction of Stonewall, ensure it is fit and able to meet new challenges including the current pandemic and support our new senior executive team as we build our new strategy.

Trustees

Unremunerated

We are seeking to appoint new Trustees who may have a background in a range of areas to support our work in the following areas; professional fundraising or campaigning; digital transformation; crisis communications or political management and human resource leadership. We also seek the lived experience of black people and people of colour; of trans and non-binary people; those living and working outside the capital and our straight allies.

Most important, the successful candidates will be able to embody and model Stonewall's values and behaviours - able to demonstrate understanding of both privilege and intersectionality and the challenges that face the identities and communities that Stonewall supports.

We are committed to ensuring we have a range of diverse experience on the Board. This enables us to benefit on the Board from the very diversity that we seek to achieve in society.

The Challenge

Every day 41 of England’s most vulnerable children– equivalent to more than a full classroom of pupils – are permanently excluded, with disastrous personal and societal consequences.

These are the country’s most disadvantaged: 4 times more likely to have grown up in poverty, 7 times more likely to have special needs, 10 times more likely to have mental health problems and 20 times more likely to be interacting with social services due to safeguarding concerns. These children are at serious risk of knife crime. 

Once they are excluded, life chances are bleak. Less than 2% of excluded pupils finish school with the qualifications they need in maths and English; 50% are immediately not in education, employment or training (NEET) straight after GCSEs. This small group of pupils goes on to make up half of the prison population, and is more likely to reoffend. It is estimated that each excluded child will go on to cost the state £370,000 in extra education, health, welfare and criminal justice spending. For last year’s cohort of excluded pupils, that’s a total cost of £2.9bn to the Exchequer.

Yet too little is known about how to break this tragic cycle. While some parts of the school system have seen an evidence-led revolution, there has been insufficient research and teacher training in how to measure or move outcomes for these most complex and vulnerable pupils. This impacts teacher satisfaction. Increasing numbers are leaving the profession, disillusioned and disempowered by this lack of expertise. Meanwhile, the numbers of young people whose lives are written off through school exclusion continues to rise, year on year.
