Charity Manager Required
We are currently looking for someone to join the team to proactively manage the charity, working with the current staff and trustees to ensure that our services continue to reach the people who need them, and that the charity can sustain itself efficiently.
This is an operational role, although charity experience would be an advantage, as you will need to understand the nuances of how charities operate and the relevant compliance requirements.
The Role
We already have a strong backbone within the organisation at both staff and trustee levels, and you will have plenty of support from people who know how the charity needs to operate. Your role will be to ensure we are doing this in the best way possible.
- This is an operational role with a people-centred focus.
- The candidate will live the values of the charity and ensure that the services provided and our guests remain at the heart of all decision-making.
Responsibilities
- Strategy and governance — working with trustees to develop and deliver the charity’s strategy and business plan, reporting to the board, and ensuring compliance with Charity Commission requirements, safeguarding, GDPR, and health and safety.
- Finance and fundraising — helping to manage budgets, overseeing day-to-day finances, building relationships with all stakeholders, and supporting the fundraising team directly.
- Operations and service delivery — making sure the charity’s projects and services run efficiently, managing premises or contracts, and monitoring/evaluating the impact of projects and the charity.
- People management — recruiting, supporting, and developing staff and volunteers.
- External relations — being a public face of the charity: partnerships with other organisations, communications, and community engagement.
This is a fantastic opportunity to help us proactively develop the charity, ensuring that people in your community are supported and helping the people around you thrive.
Hours & Remuneration
Due to the nature of this role and the size of the charity, this is a 25-hour working week (five hours a day), based at The Orchard in Basingstoke. Additional time may be required outside of hours to attend trustees’ meetings, fundraising, etc. This requirement may change over time with the potential for longer hours.
The salary on offer is £20,000–£25,000 for a 25-hour week (pro rata £30k–£38k FTE).
We are recruiting for a September/October start.
