Our Head of Children, Young People and Families leads the work of our Children, Young People and Families (CYPF) service and the Building Young Brixton (BYB) Partnership, and is a key part of the Senior Leadership team at High Trees, helping us achieve our ambitions across the board.

Our Children, Youth and Families work serves the Tulse Hill and wider Lambeth community, operating from our dedicated youth and play site at Tulse Hill Adventure Playground, where the CYPF team are based. We deliver a multi-faceted and integrated service allowing us to provide seamless support for children and young people from 8-18, including daily after school and weekend open access adventure play sessions, community and school based mentoring programmes, a work experience and youth leadership programme, and youth social action projects. We also deeply value collaboration with other youth and community organisations, and as Head of CYPF, you will also lead and contribute to a number of
youth partnerships that we manage, including Building Young Brixton. This will require demonstrable experience of running a multifaceted service – delivering several projects and programmes simultaneously and managing a team of staff – with the strong organisational, people skills and a collaborative approach that this requires. You will be an advocate for community based youth and play services and passionate about the value and impact of play, as our core offer is centred around our after school and holiday offer at Tulse Hill Adventure Playground.

You will be based at Tulse Hill Adventure Playground, and as a strong and inspiring manager you will lead a team of youth and play practitioners to deliver a range of dynamic, exciting, and meaningful services, ensuring the children who need them most are supported to play, develop, and thrive. You will take both an ambitious, organised, yet hands on approach to your management of the service - we are a small but dynamic team and truly believe services are best when all are involved, from management to practitioners. You will bring enthusiasm and passion to ensure an exceptional service for the children and young people we work with and continue to inspire your team, and the wider Building Young Brixton team, to grow and expand our reach.

Our local community is at the centre of everything we do and as a community-based service you will also understand the value of and build on our excellent relationships with local residents, organisations and statutory services, and help champion and ensure strong coordination and leadership of our youth partnerships. In order to achieve this you will have an excellent understanding of the landscape in which charities deliver their services and the statutory and funding frameworks within which we operate.

Head of HR Management, Culture and Learning

We are Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS), and we fight every day to save lives. We are Team KSS, a close-knit team of dedicated, skilled, sector-leading experts with an incredible level of expertise. We are passionate about what we do which drives us to always deliver our very best.

We’re driven by our purpose of saving lives and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. Last year alone we responded to over 3,300 incidents. We are fearless and tireless in fighting to save every life.

Our charity headquarters and forward operating base are located at Rochester Airport, with our aircraft hangar and maintained at Redhill Aerodrome. When the call comes, we can reach any part of Kent, Surrey or Sussex in under 30 minutes.

Key Responsibilities

You will be part of a small team of specialists who lead, advise and support the business and help deliver our strategy.

With around 160 staff members the HR Team play a hugely important role in all aspects from recruitment to learning, wellbeing to pensions. It is a small team, and we need someone with experience to deal with the multiple facets of HR and someone who is a “doer”. You should be as happy developing strategy as you are running a welcome induction. Life will not be boring, and you will work with some incredible people, and experience some incredible stories. You will go home every day knowing you have made a difference.

This role will require an experienced HR generalist with some knowledge of payroll. First and foremost, the postholder will lead the HR systems and management activity across KSS and ensure with the support of the team that the Core People Tasks are fulfilled to a high standard each month. Therefore, great team management and organisational skills are essential.

Secondly, the postholder in partnership with the People Business Partner will support the senior leadership team, managers and staff throughout the organisation to deal with HR related matters in whatever form they take. Ideally you will have an overview of organisational design and procedures, which will allow you to act as an adviser to resolve staffing issues/conduct, absence and sickness management, recruitment and retention. Empathy and an understanding of the importance of process are important characteristics.

Thirdly, with the core tasks complete there is then freedom to develop our approach to HR, internal culture and learning and put your own stamp on KSS. The postholder will work closely with all business areas to align the HR strategies with the business goals and organisational culture. By developing meaningful organisational-related policies, practices, and processes and, working with internal stakeholders, the postholder will take the lead on business strategies that could focus on a myriad of areas such as culture development, learning, organisational effectiveness, EDI, employee engagement or reward. Anything that makes us better employers and a great place to work. Being innovative and building great working relationships are key to success.

We’d like the postholder to have strong UK employment legislation knowledge, but we do not expect to find anyone who specialises in all activities or the systems we use, but familiarity with any of the systems named in the job profile will be an advantage. We are also willing to consider part time working for the right candidate with exceptional HR experience. In essence we can be flexible to build the right team with the skills we need. If you think you can contribute, please apply.

REF-218 284

Surrey Community Action exists to support Surrey’s voluntary sector, the diverse communities of Surrey, and other organisations who seek to work with both.  We do this in three main ways:

• Advocacy and Representation - ensuring that non-voluntary sector stakeholders understand the value of our sector and how to work together to achieve shared objectives.
• Services to the Voluntary Sector - providing services to Surrey’s voluntary sector that increase their effectiveness or fill gaps in their capability, capacity, and resilience.
• Services to the Surrey’s Communities - providing services directly to Surrey’s communities that support community action and address unsupported needs.

Much of our work is with other community organisations, including community building management groups, voluntary car scheme organisers, councils, and others, but we also run projects and activities targeted at individuals within communities, such as fuel poverty advice, and support to Surrey’s Gypsy and Travellers.

We have some income generating services, predominantly to other voluntary sector organisations.  We seek to offer excellent service to our clients, whether managing payroll, conducting DBS checks or delivering training and events.

We also manage the “Astolat” charity offices, providing high quality office accommodation and support to eight other VCFS organisations.

• Contribute to the running of the organisation as part of the management team.
• Create and develop projects and services that meet unmet needs in Surrey

Securing Funding

You will help us secure funding for Surrey Community Action’s core activities and projects, working with all staff to prepare high quality funding proposals to Local Authorities, trusts, grant giving bodies, corporate partners and major donors.  You will also lead on negotiating renewals of funding and maintaining good working relationships with current commissioners and funders.

You will be comfortable working in collaboration with partners from across the voluntary and statutory sectors, always focusing on making the biggest difference to the people of Surrey.

Leadership and line management

This role looks after some of our community project officers who in turn provide information, advice, guidance, and support to a diverse range of stakeholders, including community buildings, rural housing enablers, Good Neighbours Schemes, Community Champions, Gypsy Roma and Traveller communities, and people in fuel poverty.

You will provide effective line management to our community project officers, focusing on developing them to excel in their roles and broaden their skills, making sure to lead by example and develop yourself alongside them.

Running the Charity

You will form an integral part of the management team, working in tandem with the Chief Executive, management team and Board of Trustees, supporting the charity in strategic leadership, performance management and development our projects and services.

Develop new projects and services

To succeed in this role, you will need to have or build a deep understanding of Surrey’s voluntary sector and communities.  You may design and conduct consultations and market research to deepen your knowledge and share it with peers and other stakeholders in ways tailored to our audiences.

The environment in Surrey is complex and changeable, so we are looking for someone who can flex themselves and this role so that Surrey Community Action can do better every day, who can recognise ways we can improve and provide even better support to our stakeholders, from local authorities, to charities and community groups, to individuals in need.

About You

• You will be a strong line manager with experience of mentoring and developing staff.
• You will have solid IT skills including Office applications and databases.
• You will be able to communicate across a wide range of audiences, from senior local authority leaders, to community group trustees, from grant making trusts, to charity peers, and do so online and face-to-face.
• This is a complex role, so you will have the ability to plan, balance and manage multiple priorities – with support from the CEO and your colleagues.
