You will also need to report all of this to the Charity s Board of Trustees, so good story telling skills are essential. Put older people first: Your team are the shop window of the charity. When older people contact us for help, your team members are often the first people they see or talk to on the phone. Older people are our business, they are central to all that we do, so understanding the issues they face is essential. It is also important we respect their voice, we uphold their rights, and we give them a voice when they feel they are not being listened to. Your role is to ensure that your team understands the diversity of the communities we serve and responds positively to unfamiliar scenarios or challenging situations. In this regard, you will act as the charity s Safeguarding Lead. Working with others: We cannot be all things to all people, so we need to work collaboratively with those that specialise in other fields. Working on the principles of co-production, collaboration and partnership, your role will support the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the senior leadership team to represent the charity externally; always striving to build positive, effective relationships with individuals and organisations involved in delivering outcomes for older people. Working with our people: We are proud to work with and develop opportunities for volunteers without them, we could not do a lot of what we do (or want to do!) They give their time freely and bring a wide range of skills, experience, and knowledge to the charity. Your team includes paid staff and volunteers, so it is essential you are committed to nurturing a culture where volunteers are seen as team assets, and that they are encouraged to develop themselves personally, through the work they do. Leadership: Demonstrating leadership in all that you do is a key requirement of this role. Leadership skills are essential for supporting the charity s culture and business objectives. We want our leaders to be bold, decisive, action focused . click apply for full job details
