The Charity will rebrand, refocus and relaunch, and you will be at the heart of the creative and strategic process.

  • Develop a culture demonstrating the charity's commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.

  • Be an integral part of the Club's wider senior management team.
  • Ensure the charity is appropriately resourced to deliver its mission and that all required policies, processes and procedures are in place.
  • Alongside the Chair and Governance Lead, review and ensure that clear governance structures and excellent operating models are sustained.
  • Develop a proactive and efficient Senior Leadership Team to deliver the charity's strategic, tactical and operational plans.
  • Take the lead on launching and raising the profile of the rebranded charity to attract investment.
  • Continually review and develop an effective process of monitoring and reporting impact.
  • Be accountable for the overall financial management and sustainability of the charity.
