Chief Executive

Time & Talents

£62,500 pro rata

Part time, 4 days per week, permanent position

SE London

At Time & Talents, we want to create a world where everyone feels part of a community - and where nobody is left out or left behind.

Founded in 1887 as a settlement, Time & Talents is a local charity based in Rotherhithe and Bermondsey dedicated to creating a place where everyone feels part of a community - children, young people, older people and families. We bring people together for mutual support, fun and friendship through a range of services and activities that tackle social isolation, improve mental and physical well-being, and bridge divides across the community.

Like many charities, we have navigated both challenges and opportunities in recent years and are now focused on strengthening our position. We are looking for a new Chief Executive who is both strategic and hands-on to ensure Time & Talents continues to thrive, building on its current momentum while navigating the funding challenges faced by all multi-purpose community organisations. This role will involve strengthening existing income streams, developing an income generation strategy for sustainable growth, and deepening partnership relationships. As a relatively small organisation, you will need to be adaptable, leading on everything from writing funding bids and developing partnerships to pitching to donors, managing building leases and suppliers, and proactively leading the team.

If you have the ability to bring staff teams along with you and the gravitas and presence to build relationships with individuals, companies, partner organisations, potential collaborators, influencers, media, service users, and funders, we would love to hear from you.

As with many organisations, we have experienced some changes in the staff team, and we are looking for our next CE to bring the stability required to do what we do best-serve the community.

How to apply

Application is by way of CV and a Supporting Statement, which should outline your motivations for wanting to be our next Chief Executive and set out your credentials.

Closing date: Midnight 9th March 2025
