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.

• Contract: Self-employed position, funded for 1 year (with possibility to extend subject to funding)

Big Leaf particularly welcomes applicants with experience of migration and/or a refugee background. We are an equal opportunities organisation and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.

​Successful applicants for this role will be responsible for some areas of organisational governance, including policy oversight in relation to risk; and as such an enhanced DBS certification will be required for this role.

The closing date for applications is 6pm Wednesday 3 November. We anticipate interviews will take place week commencing 8 November.

The Charity has provided specialist palliative care and support to patients with life limiting illnesses, and to their relatives and carers, in Portsmouth and South East Hampshire for 27 years.

In recent times the Charity has implemented a new ERP system and it would be helpful for the post holder to have experience of implementing such systems, and certainly to have project management capability in order to complete the implementation of this very important process. The post holder will need to be an inspirational and proficient leader of people with the ability to inspire and to build a motivated and high performing team.
