It’s important you can demonstrate leadership skills and experience across a range of essential criteria. But, we’re especially keen to see:
- Strategic vision through senior leadership experience in the voluntary or public sector.
- Evidence of partnership-building, stakeholder management and advocacy.
- Income generation success, building financial sustainability within the third sector.
- Exceptional communicator, with the ability to represent GVS on local and national platforms.
- Above all – values-led, collaborative and committed to nurturing inclusive, resilient communities.
Interviews: 29th & 31st OctoberCharity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.
