Deaf Unity is seeking an Organisational Development Consultant with experience of successfully supporting small charities through growth and change.
We are planning the transition from a freelance to a PAYE salary structure and require support with:
-
Designing an appropriate staffing structure
-
Benchmarking salaries
-
Business and financial planning
-
HR/employment systems and policies, related training
-
Governance
The overall aim of this commission is to establish an effective and well-managed staffing structure for the organisation, with strong systems and policies embedded across our teams. Ultimately this will build Deaf Unity’s stability and resilience for the long-term.
Deaf Unity: mission and purpose
Deaf Unity is a deaf-led charity (CIO), based in London, that works to empower, nurture and train deaf individuals. Our particular focus is on three main points of transition that are pivotal in enabling deaf people to realise their potential – and to thrive within and contribute fully to society. These transition points are:
-
leaving school to enter further/higher education
-
entering the workforce
-
progressing in the workplace
We work with our community in London to identify the barriers deaf people face at every stage of this journey, empowering them to make informed choices and to succeed. We partner with stakeholders (universities, employers, voluntary sector partners) to decrease, overcome or eradicate these barriers altogether.
From our home base in London, we work alongside our community and partners to develop and deliver new initiatives in response to clearly identified needs. We directly engage 300+ deaf people each year: inspiring and supporting school-leavers to take their first steps into higher education; empowering graduates and employees to navigate the world of work with confidence; and connecting deaf people with each other to build community, tackle isolation, mobilise around key issues and break down barriers to learning and employment. Sharing and dissemination of our work (including online to reach the national community) goes on to engage far greater numbers.
Deaf Unity generates much of its income from providing interpreting and consultancy services and delivering training (British Sign Language and deaf awareness courses). This activity fully aligns with our charitable mission and generates essential unrestricted funding to support our wider activities. Income in the year ending December 2023 was £115,316, of which over 80% was generated from course delivery and interpreting services. That year we generated a surplus of £11,102.
Context for the commission
To date, deaf Unity’s programmes have been delivered entirely by a freelance team: CEO, administrator, tutors and project managers/coordinators leading on different streams of activity. We have recently recruited a Training and Operations Manager (freelance) to lead on training and interpreting services.
Activity continues to grow. Turnover in 2024 was c. £175,000 (final accounts are currently being produced), demand for courses is strong and we have had a successful year of fundraising.
Our activities engage a broad range of beneficiaries, participants and stakeholders: deaf students and employees; our local deaf community in London; and many different stakeholders – universities, employers and local councils – working with us to remove the barriers that disadvantage deaf people and prevent access to opportunity. We are proud of a track record of impactful interventions that have made a real difference in the prospects of deaf learners, jobseekers and employees.
This said, we have not reaped the full benefits of the partnerships and experience that have contributed to this success. A wholly freelance workforce means skills, knowledge, relationships and learning are regularly lost. We now wish to bring a core team into a salaried, PAYE structure to assure greater stability and continuity. We wish to invest in our people and demonstrate good employability practices, as champions of Deaf parity in the workplace. Specialist support is needed to ensure a good process, an affordable structure, and that appropriate systems, policies and structures are in place to support future work.
In late 2023, the Board of Trustees agreed a forward plan, setting out the charity’s objectives and the activities we plan to deliver over the next 3-5 years. Our work is guided by 5 high-level, strategic objectives. We aim that by 2028:
- Deaf Unity will have created in partnership with London schools a high-quality, effective careers advice pack/toolkit which can be accessed digitally by schools across the UK to inspire and support deaf learners on their FE/HE/vocational journey.
-
Deaf Unity will be providing a comprehensive package of support around employability, that is recognised and in use by 5 leading nationwide employers and by the National Union of Students (NUS).
- We will be hosting in London a highly respected, impactful annual event for deaf people in work that is reaching 100 deaf people each year, directly or indirectly
-
Deaf Unity will be able to evidence that the CIO is making a substantial positive difference in the lives of learners, students and employees - through quantitative and qualitative feedback including testimonials and case studies
- Our organisation will be stable, financially secure and resilient, supported by strong governance and management systems and effective partnership networks
This commission directly supports objective 5.
In parallel with this:
- Deaf Unity will work with an Evaluation specialist to develop a practical, effective evaluation framework and plan enabling us to capture and analyse our impact across the full range of our activities. This will enable us to improve the design and delivery of our services and activities, on an ongoing basis and to better evidence the charity’s impact and the difference we are making in people’s lives.
-
Staff and Trustees will undertake training to address identified skills and knowledge gaps (a modest budget is allocated for this)
This programme of development activity is kindly funded by Trust for London.
In the course of the year Deaf Unity will also be working with a corporate partner offering pro-bono support to redevelop the website and advise on online course delivery.
Overview of role
The consultant will be required to lead and support Deaf Unity’s CEO and Board through a systematic approach to agreeing, implementing and embedding the new structure. We currently envisage that this will include:
-
A review of the functions, skills and competencies required to deliver Deaf Unity’s forward plan
-
Producing a proposed, costed staff structure, with salaries, rates of pay and conditions that are benchmarked against the sector and meet good practice e.g. in terms of Living Wage parity
-
Business planning to include producing a revised budget for 2025 (currently indicative only) and an indicative budget for 2026, based on current levels of activity/growth, to ensure that the new structure is affordable. (An in-depth business development process is planned for a later stage, separate from this commission)
-
A review of governance and existing policies
-
Support with the transition process e.g. ensuring that the moving of any freelance staff to salaried contracts is compliant with the law and with good employment practice
-
Development of a training plan (spanning the Board, staff and freelance team) to address identified skills gaps
We will however welcome alternative proposals for how this work might most effectively be structured.
Schedule
We aim to start work in mid April 2025, completing by end October 2025 (7 months). The consultant will be required to work flexibly throughout this period and this will be negotiated with you on appointment, bearing in mind your other commitments.
Time commitment: estimated 15-20 days over a 7-month period
Fees: Fixed fee is £8,250 inclusive of VAT and expenses
Specification
The consultant will -
-
Inform and guide the transition to this new staffing model and way of working, to ensure the resulting structures are effective, affordable and compliant with statutory requirements and with best practice
-
Provide hands-on practical support where necessary e.g. benchmarking salaries, drafting job descriptions, reviewing and updating budgets, reviewing policies
-
Be aware of and alert to Deaf Unity’s ongoing, parallel streams of activity (e.g. evaluation work, development of website) and strive to maximise synergies and added value linked to these
-
Have due regard throughout the process to Deaf Unity’s charitable objects, so as to ensure that all progress is made with these and the good of our beneficiaries in mind
Person specification
Essential
-
Evidenced skills and experience in supporting projects of this nature for third sector organisations that have limited capacity and resources
-
Comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of employment/HR law and practice
-
An understanding of the operating context of a charity such as ours, that is reliant on mixed income streams including fees, public grants and charitable grants.
-
Experience of business planning for the voluntary sector
-
Exceptional communication and strong facilitation skills, coupled with sensitivity and a commitment to confidentiality
Desirable
-
Some knowledge of British Sign Language
-
Familiarity with the XERO accounting system
-
Commitment to values of social justice and equity
-
Experience of working with the deaf community
It is anticipated that you will work remotely: Deaf Unity currently does not use a main office.
