We have the vision. We have a dedicated Board of Trustees. We have the momentum. Now, we need the engine.

A People Person: You understand that "Operations" is actually about people. You can inspire, direct, and steer a team with empathy and clarity.

Why Join Us?
This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will help shape the culture of MINDSET from the ground up. You’ll gain high-level leadership experience, but more importantly, you’ll be the reason a father, a brother, or a son finds the community he needs to thrive.

We are looking for someone keen to move into the area of advising small charities on management and governance issues and working with them on other services we provide.
We are a very ambitious local grant-making charity that also offers various training, support and consultancy services to small charities and community groups in West London. Our broad-ranging plans are now beginning to bear fruit and so we need volunteers to help us in the following areas as demand for our services continues to grow:
· Supporting small groups and start-ups with basic governance and management issues
· Facilitating coordination between groups including organising events linking those with common interests
· Monitoring our grant holders and assessing the impact of our services on groups
· Outreach to new groups
· General admin support
· Possibly helping out with grant application assessments when needed
Our ideal candidates would have a good all-round management or professional background gained over a number of years, but they need not be experienced in the areas mentioned above. You'd be given full training, with the opportunity to shadow the people already working in these areas. Far more important is adaptability, initiative, an ability to get on well with people from all sorts of backgrounds, and good organisational and writing skills. Most crucially you would have a demonstrable commitment to our ideals of promoting a strong and influential civil society in West London. You will thrive on challenges and find rewards in seeing our objectives achieved.
You would ideally be able to commit an average of 1 day a week and the work would involve dealing with our clients during office hours, so you will probably be someone who is working part-time, or is perhaps retired or semi-retired, or is otherwise not in full-time employment. We would also be prepared to consider applicants only able to commit a few hours a week for some of the duties mentioned above.
Much of the work would be taking place from home, but it will also involve some face to face contact with clients, so living in or around the Ealing, Hounslow or Hillingdon boroughs would be a definite advantage.
All reasonable expenses will be reimbursed and refreshments provided where suitable.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
