Head of Core Service and Head of Community Partnerships

4 weeks ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Citizens Advice Wandsworth Full time

8.5% pension contribution after successful completion of probation period. Inflationary pay award pending

Hours: 35 hours per week. Normal working hours 9.30 to 5.30. Open to part-time, job-share, and flexible working

Location: Blended between home and office (Battersea and Roehampton)

About us

We're a thriving advice organisation that is part of the national Citizens Advice network. We provide information, advice and casework support to around 10,000 people a year. Our services are delivered by a team of around 40 paid staff and 60 volunteers. We have a typical annual turnover of £2 million and in addition to our core advice service, funded by Wandsworth Council, we have a range of projects funded by trusts, foundations, and our local Integrated Care System.

While we're proud of the number of residents we support, we know that we can't meet demand for advice and that marginalised communities don't always come to established organisations for support. Because of this, we place equal value on improving reach and access through creative collaboration with equity-led organisations, partnership development and capacity building.

Why we need you

Supported by existing project funding and a long-term grant from the Access to Justice Foundation, we're looking for two people to join our Senior Management Team and help lead the next phase of our innovative and award-winning development work. The Head of Core Service and Head of Community Partnerships will work together to:

Continue developing our approach to community engagement, helping reduce access barriers for people from the most marginalised communities.
Embed changes to our core service that make it more accessible and responsive to those communities.

Both roles also have overall responsibility for a range of funded projects and services and, as leaders and managers, responsibility for: Ensuring we live up to our values, standards and ambitions.
Managing contracts and relationships with funders, partners and other stakeholders.
Developing organisational strategy and identifying new funding and partnership opportunities.

With a focus on operational compliance and core delivery, the Head of Core Service role would suit applicants with a strong track record of managing advice services, ideally within the Citizens Advice network. We're not necessarily looking for someone with an advice background for the Head of Community Partnerships role, but great project management, people management and relationship building skills are essential. Both roles require an understanding of and commitment to our values and ambitions, including being a more inclusive workplace where everyone gets the support they need to do their best.

Why you should join us

We're a dynamic organisation with a culture of quality and innovation. We're ambitious about delivering advice services that make a real difference to local people and being a great place to work and volunteer. You'll be part of a diverse and friendly team of staff and volunteers who are passionate about helping the people who need us most. Working with us means seeing yourself and your colleagues have a positive impact on the lives of ordinary people and protecting our communities from hardship, poverty and crisis.

We also believe that investing in and listening to our teams makes us a better organisation. We involve staff and volunteers extensively in the design and delivery of our services, as well as in long-term planning. You'll benefit from working at an organisation with a strong commitment to professional development and continuous training – we're proud of our teams and in return offer excellent opportunities for personal development and career growth.

Our commitment to EDI

We're passionate about promoting equity, valuing diversity and working inclusively. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified people but particularly people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups and people with disabilities, as these groups are currently under-represented in our team.
