Community Outreach Team Leader Jobs in TW20 9GF

The award-winning Black Swimming Association is recruiting a CEO to lead its close knit, passionate team into its fifth year of establishment.

In 2019, four cofounders came together in an attempt to make a difference. Nearly five years on, our small and dedicated team are committed to changing the narrative. What's our why? Through research and insights and programme delivery, we work to raise awareness of water safety and drowning prevention, in particular amongst African, Caribbean and Asian communities across the UK. By amplifying the voices and experiences of ethnically diverse and other marginalised communities, we aim to challenge the status quo and dismantle the barriers that prevent individuals from fully participating in and benefiting from aquatics.

Why do we want to hear from you? The BSA Group has been growing from strength to strength and is looking for an experienced leader to take us into this new chapter. The BSA group consists of the award-winning Black Swimming Association (charity) and Inclusive Aquatics (C.I.C) and the CEO role will contribute to the work of both the charity and the C.I.C.

If you're ready to make a difference to communities across the UK and be part of something truly impactful and inspiring, this is the job for you. A corporate title without the corporate faff.

More about HAMRAH 

The HAMRAH Initiative is designed to address the significant challenges faced by Afghan civil society organisations (CSOs) forced into exile, particularly women-led organisations, as they continue to provide protection for vulnerable groups within Afghanistan. The initiative focuses on fostering collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and advocacy to safeguard the rights of vulnerable populations, including women and girls.

Through sustained technical support and resources, HAMRAH aims to build a stronger Afghan civil society equipped with essential organisational infrastructure, leadership skills, and collaborative networks to preserve hard-won gains and advance rights and protections for vulnerable groups.

Currently, we are supporting 10 Afghan CSOs in exile, located around the world, that continue working partially or fully inside Afghanistan to protect vulnerable populations, including women and girls, LGBTQ+ communities, and individuals with disabilities.

More about Global Dialogue  

We currently host seven large networks and collaborations, serving more than one hundred independent funders, including Ariadne, the network of European funders for social change and human rights; the Funders Initiative for Civil Society (FICS); the International Education Funders Group (IEFG); Migration Exchange; Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace (PSJP) and HAMRAH, an initiative to strengthen the resilience and increase the impact of a cohort of Afghan civil society organisations in exile. We’re proud to have incubated several influential, award-winning charities, including Each Other (formerly RightsInfo), IMIX and The Five Foundation.   

Global Dialogue has just completed year one of an ambitious three-year strategy which includes aspirations to be a trusted partner in philanthropy support, with an organisational approach that is consistent with our mission – endeavouring to practice rights, equity and diversity in our operations as well as pursuing it through our programmes.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with HAMRAH's partner cohort organisations (10 CSOs in exile), mentors, the advisory board, and other key stakeholders.
