Charity People are proud to be partnering with Equally Ours, a UK charity that brings together people and organisations working across equality, human rights and social justice to make a reality of these in everyone's lives, to help bring on board a Chief Operations Officer.

Through its members and networks, Equally Ours joins up research, policy and communications to shift public opinion and policy in positive and powerful ways. This is at an exciting and pivotal time for Equally Ours. At the end of 2022, they launched a 10-year strategy, Together for social justice, which sets out their bold agenda to increase equality and strengthen rights at scale. Equally Ours also provides the Secretariat for the Funders for Race Equality Alliance which is a group of charitable funders working together to advance race equality in the UK and support a sustained and thriving racial justice sector.

The Chief Operations Officer will lead day-to-day operations, provide additional capacity at a pivotal time, update policies and processes, and ensure the organisation runs smoothly and efficiently, and keeps improving. A big focus on internal development in 2023/24 was on becoming an anti-racist organisation, an ongoing commitment and journey. This is a small team, so leaders need to enjoy covering a wide range of duties, from the strategic to hands-on. The role will involve close collaboration with the CEO.

Key responsibilities:

  • You will lead on delivering operational, finance and people strategy as well as oversee finances, working closely with 3rd party finance providers to manage the allocation of resources and oversee budgeting, and grant management.
  • Lead on all aspects of the HR function, taking charge of people development, staff support, finalise revised pay and wellbeing policies and implement changes.
  • You'll support the team to develop and manage impactful partnerships and stakeholder relationships, providing strategic advice on project delivery and ensuring partnership arrangements are well planned and managed with care.
  • You'll ensure they are compliant, maintaining effective internal policies and procedures, and are managing organisational risks effectively.
  • Alongside the CEO, you'll support the board of trustees in ensuring organisational governance is solid.

    To succeed in the role, you will need to have:

    The successful candidate will be a collaborative leader who has successfully led a team and can build relationships at all levels. You will have strong experience in charity financial management, significant operational experience ideally within the charity sector, including HR and people, improving policies and systems, and charity governance. You will be a highly motivated and driven self-starter, able to adapt quickly when priorities change. You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills, experience of leading internal organisation communications and creating high level reports and presentations. You will also have experience of implementing equality and human rights standards, for example the social work model of disability and anti-racist practices, throughout all areas of work. The ideal candidate may understand key concepts of structural inequality, combined with insight into your own experiences of advantage and disadvantage, and sensitivity and empathy to the rights and needs of colleagues.

    How to apply

    The application process is CV and supporting statement. Please send your up to date CV to Kate at Charity People for more information or for an informal confidential chat about the role. The deadline is 12 noon on Wednesday 12 June. First stage interviews will take place on Wednesday 19 June.

    Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.
