London, Greater London, United Kingdom CHARITY PEOPLE Full time

Charity People is looking for someone from underrepresented groups to become a chair of our external EDI Committee and use their lived experience to inform Charity People's policies and practices, helping us to improve equity, diversity and inclusivity internally and more widely in the charity sector.

About Charity People

Founded in 1990 with support from The Prince's Trust, Charity People has dedicated three decades to transforming the non-profit sector into an appealing workplace, attracting exceptional talent, and facilitating effective non-profit sector recruitment. In late 2023, we transitioned to becoming wholly employee owned. All of our staff have become partners and share the responsibility for the success of the organisation.

Charity People is committed to maintaining an inclusive, supportive, prosperous, and fun workplace. We are passionate about supporting the non-profit sector to recruit more effectively, efficiently, and inclusively. Diversity recruitment efforts are crucial, particularly at the executive level, where minoritised groups are underrepresented. Our success depends on individuals who share our passion for making a difference and building a business dedicated to the relentless pursuit of that ideal.

About you

We're looking for a lived experience chair who is a job seeker or involved in recruitment in the charity sector, particularly projects for underrepresented groups.

You might identify as Black, Asian, disabled, a non-graduate, LGBTQ+, older or any other group underrepresented in the charity sector.

You might work in recruitment and have experience of or specialise in recruiting from underrepresented groups.

The role

We are looking for an experienced advisor to join our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee as Chair of our external EDI Committee. The advisor will help to shape our recruitment practices and processes to make them more inclusive. Together, we will explore the issues to reach a shared understanding of them and develop improved processes to trial.

There will be a minimum of four two-hour sessions each year. Advisors have a term of 3 years, with the option to complete a maximum of 2 terms. The Advisor will be paid £120 for each two-hour session. All sessions will be either in person in our London Bridge office or via Teams. Travel expenses up to approximately £25 per session for London-based committee members will be reimbursed, and we are open to discussion about travel costs for regional committee members.

How to apply

To apply for the role of Lived Experience chair, please send us an application covering the below questions:

1. Why would you like to be involved in this committee?

2. Do you have personal experience of job searching and recruitment? How will you bring these experiences to the role? You can disclose as much or as little information as you feel comfortable with.

3. What current experiences can help you contribute as the chair of the group? For example:

  • Experience of doing Lived Experience/Co-Production work within the charity sector or experience of chairing committee meetings or Employee Resource Groups?
    • Influencing organisations, participating in relation to minority groups needs or recruitment
      • Actively involved in recruiting minority groups

4. What other qualities, skills or knowledge would you bring that could help change the way charities may recruit for certain roles?

Please include your name, telephone number and email address. Please do also let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments for the application or interview process.

Deadline: 9am Monday 3rd March
Interviews will take place in March, dates TBC.

Here are two options for sending us your application:
