Our talented executive team brings a high level of knowledge, expertise and skill both around grant making and our priority areas.

About the role and you

The key purpose of this role is to work closely and collaboratively with the trustees and executive teams to:

·Provide strategic leadership and management 

·Have oversight / management of ABCT’s grants portfolio and our partnerships, ensuring we meet our priorities.

·Develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders.

·Build a culture of learning and best practice in ABCT’s work.

The new Director will be critical in shaping how the Trust continues to grow and develop, so candidates will need to be able to demonstrate a relevant leadership and management background and a passion for the work. 

This could be the right opportunity for a range of potential candidates. We really want to hear from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds and we particularly encourage people with lived experience to apply.

If you would like to have an informal discussion about the role then please contact Allyson Davies (see link) who is advising and supporting the trustees in this appointment.

The Baobab Centre is a non-residential therapeutic community that supports young asylum seekers and refugees who have experienced human rights abuses and have sought asylum in the UK as unaccompanied minors. Our two focus areas are rehabilitation and justice.

This is a unique oppertunity for a passionate and experienced fundraiser to progress further in their career, with the freedom to creatively enhance and develop the fundraising strategy of an impactful community-based charity.

Mental Health:  All of the young people Baobab supports suffer significant mental health and developmental difficulties and many function in an unstable and more immature way than their chronological age. Due to their experiences it takes time to gain trust from the young people in our community. As a core member of our team, you will understand the impact of specific human rights abuses on the development of children and young people in exile and their individual experiences of loss, trauma and grief on their mental health and well-being. 

Baobab’s Model: Please read the accompanying ‘Baobab Clincial Context and Model’ document for a detailed introduction. It often takes a significant amount of time to understand Baobab’s model of working, which aims for rehabilitation and justice through attending to both the internal and external world of each young. It is important that you strive to have an insight to the experiences of both the internal and external factors impacting on the lives of unaccompanied young people attending our centre. It is also important that you understand the ways in which UK society and policy impacts on young asylum seekers (including invisibility, marginalisation, discrimination, and the fact of waiting in uncertainty for a long time).

Multi-disciplinary Working: Baobab aims to be a reflective, thinking organisation and we place a high value on shared thinking time, sharing responsibilities and working together with others. A key aspect of the role is communicating and working in a holistic way.
