Brighton East Sussex, United Kingdom Brighton Permaculture Trust Full time

We are looking for someone who shares our values and is passionate about improving life for both people and nature in Sussex, especially in disadvantaged communities.

Working closely with a committed and extensive team of volunteers and paid staff, and with the support of an established and engaged board of Trustees, you will be steering the work on our vision and leading the team to deliver it.

As the leader of a relatively small charity, you will be engaged with many operational aspects of the organisation.

Taking on the stewardship of the new plot of land will be one of the priorities in the first year.

You will be managing our annual income of around £200K, our part-time managers (admin; orchard planting, scrumping, courses and sites) plus a team of 25 workers and key volunteers engaged in ongoing roles.

Hours can be worked flexibly, though you will need to attend in-person meetings, events and site visits, including some weekends and evenings. We have a kitchen and barn at Stanmer Park, but not an office. All desk work and online meetings will need to be done remotely using your own equipment.

Key responsibilities:

  • Figurehead and ambassador for the organisation. Willing to be available for interviews and talks.
  • Decision maker. Brighton Permaculture Trust has always been a collaborative organisation. There will be times when quick or difficult decisions are needed.
  • Setting budgets and monitoring finances. Draft budgets for our financial year July 2024 to June 2025 are in place.
  • Writing/assisting with funding bids.
  • Formal reporting to the Trustees quarterly, plus monthly opportunities to meet with the Trustees for support, collaboration and feedback.
  • Leading monthly meetings with the operational managers. Operational managers cover each key area: Scrumped in Sussex, Community Orchards, Brighton Permaculture Trust Sites, Courses & Events and Admin/Compliance.
  • One-to-one meetings with operational managers, key contractors and volunteers as required. These can be online or on-site.
  • Supporting the wider team to agree on SMART targets for each project and deliver on our strategic goals.
  • Attending Brighton Permaculture Trust Apple Days events (3 per year).
  • Being the main point of contact for key relationships, including major donors, funders, partner organisations and Brighton & Hove City Council.
  • Presenting our year’s achievements to the members at our AGM.
  • Line management of 3-5 operational managers as these roles move to long-term contracts
  • Representing the Trust at assorted, infrequent external meetings and events would be desirable and require some flexibility in days/times worked.
