About the Organisation

Our client is a federated charity consisting of a central national office in Leicester, and 177 geographically dispersed local organisations, all working together under the same identity.

This charity recognises that being a parent has never been easy. Every one of their volunteers is trained to work alongside parents to overcome the challenges they are facing. They work with parents to build on their strengths and give them the support that they tell this charity that they need. They offer no judgement – just compassionate, confidential help and expert support. This peer-to-peer support is key to the difference this charity makes and often their volunteers have lived experience of the challenges their families are facing themselves.

About The Role

The Assistant Director of Network Development and Impact leads a strategic programme of work to enable sustainability, growth, inclusion and impact across the charity. With a deep understanding of programme and service development, and a commitment to insight-led decision-making, the postholder will lead a more strategic, data-informed approach to how the organisation grows and strengthen their network’s collective impact.

As a member of the senior leadership team, you will provide inspiring, strong and supportive leadership to teams delivering ongoing activities and planned projects, and to foster cohesion and alignment across the charity's network. You will work across the organisation and with partners to ensure that programmes of work evolve to meet emerging needs and to deliver meaningful, measurable change over time.

This senior leadership role has oversight of teams who are leading work to:

Harness the brilliant leadership, expertise and innovation that exists across the network so that they are working collaboratively to grow their reach and impact nationally.
Enable strong leadership, governance and relationships across the network, so that they can make the most of the strengths and opportunities of the federated model.
Build a culture of inclusion, strengthen diversity and representation across the teams, ensure accessibility and equity throughout the charity's work, and grow their voice for equity, equality and anti-racism.
Designing and driving forward major programmes and initiatives to deliver strategic ambitions for growth, voice, inclusion and impact.
Deliver evidence-led and policy-informed portfolio of practice development and quality improvement, which is responsive to the needs of local organisation's and the children, families and communities they are supporting.
Support and enable accessible, inclusive, high quality and rewarding volunteering experiences across the network, to grow volunteering numbers as part of wider supporter engagement.
Establish a high-quality, federation-wide learning and development offer, embedding a culture where individuals and organisations can learn and grow.
Better understand and demonstrate our impact for children and families, and ensure the programme of network and practice development is informed by evidence, data and insights.

This is a new role leading a growing team, and there will be a strong focus on working collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation's network to develop the programmes and partnerships needed to achieve their vision for children and families.

Closing date for applications is Wednesday 11th June at 4pm.

Interviews will take place virtually on Tuesday 24th June.

Second interviews will be held in-person on Wednesday 2nd July (location: Leicester).
