Volunteer Chair to manage and develop our weekly food service for the homeless

What will you be doing?

We need a new Chair to take our small charity forward. Our current challenges are to professionalise the service by updating policies, expanding our social media presence, improving fundraising, streamlining  volunteer recruitment and training and developing an advice service. Our current Chair wishes to step down after 11 years  and we need someone with organisational and management skills to replace her and coordinate the team 

What are we looking for?

They need  3 years experience of  operational  management, ideally managing a volunteer team working with vulnerable clients. They will ideally need to have service and policy development experience, some knowledge of training, health & safety, GDPR and the ability to build a cohesive team. Empathy and understanding of the needs of people who  are homeless is a must. A background in advice and advocacy is desirable.

What difference will you make?

The person will be able to make a huge impact  by bringing their professional skills to bear to improve the service and team up.
