1 month ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Unfold Full time

About Us

Unfold is led by the people we serve, and we get people where they want to be. We're a bold, agile and growing organisation, with a friendly, energetic and welcoming team. We empower volunteers to support young people and families in Westminster, Kensington, Chelsea, and neighbouring boroughs. We're open to everyone but we target those who face the most challenges, including people from racialized groups, single-parent households, and people seeking asylum.

We have an ambitious growth plan, and we're seeking a proactive, innovative Deputy CEO to maintain and develop our successful mentoring and peer support programmes. We've made incredible progress in both programme scale and quality: Over the last five years our income has grown five-fold, our reach in mentoring has increased to more than ten times what it was five years ago, while our team has grown from 1.6 to 15 staff in that time. With nearly 60% of our income secured in multi-year grants, we're in the process of developing our strategy for the next five years, envisaging continued growth, maintaining quality and impact while adding a social justice dimension to our role.

The Role

As our Deputy CEO, you'll support the development and implementation of Unfold's organisational strategy and be responsible for the delivery of programme, funding and impact strategies.

You'll play a crucial role in shaping the future of Unfold by supporting the development and implementation of Unfold's organisational strategy and taking ownership of the delivery of our programmes, funding and impact strategies. Alongside the CEO, you'll play a key role in ensuring ensuring that we continue to deliver high-quality services that make a real difference and create impact, reaching those who need them most.

Supporting the CEO, you'll also ensure the financial stability of the charity by maintaining a sustainable funding pipeline and using data to demonstrate the impact of our work. You'll be identifying funding opportunities, overseeing bid submissions, and ensuring quality reporting and compliance. By representing Unfold at events and cultivating relationships with donors, corporate partners and individual supporters you'll ensure a robust and sustainable income to support our growth plans.

In managing and developing our team, you'll be fostering a positive and supportive working environment where everyone can thrive. Our Deputy CEO will be key to shaping our future, ensuring that we continue to grow and make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve.

About You

At Unfold we value diversity in thinking and experience, and lived experience of some of the issues our service users experience will be an asset. We strongly welcome applications from people from the global majority, women and other groups that are less often represented at senior levels.

We're looking for an experienced and passionate people manager and leader with a proven track record in fundraising and programme management within the third sector. You'll be able to motivate and support our team while being a strong advocate for our values. Your passion for supporting young people and families will drive your work and your proactive approach, analytical and problem-solving abilities will ensure that Unfold continues to thrive.
