Do you love supporting people and organisations to do their best work? We should talk…

As our new Head of Operations and People you’ll be developing and implementing policies and processes to support the staff team and help foster a smooth running, collaborative and anti-oppressive organisation. 

You’ll be responsible for all aspects of the employee lifecycle, from inclusive recruitment, learning and development, retention and reward. You will lead on developing HR policies and will play a key role in supporting line managers to implement them. You will really care about how people experience Possible as a workplace and will be keen to improve it.

As the organisation lead for our anti-oppression work you will develop and deliver the anti-oppression strategy in collaboration with the wide team, embedding anti-oppression and inclusive practices into our internal and external work.

You will take an operational lead for the organisation, assuming a bird’s-eye view over all of our activities, our physical and virtual office and our systems. You will develop and improve our practice on health and safety, safeguarding and data protection.

You’ll work in a small operations team, managing our Office Administrator, and will have the opportunity to interact with all areas of Possible’s work as a key member of our Senior Management Team. 

About Possible

Our values Daring, Joy and Community guide our actions and our organisational culture. Here at Possible, we have a vision for a zero carbon Britain that has been built by and belongs to everybody. Our mission is to inspire people in the UK to take the action the climate crisis demands. We create, build, and share ways people can take meaningful action on climate change together. We translate overwhelming climate urgency into socially just and workable proposals the public can get behind. And we do it all with a can-do attitude and stubborn optimism.

Commitment to anti-oppression

We have made a commitment to make Possible an anti-oppressive place to work. We’re doing the work to undo inequalities and oppressive systems reflected in wider society, and are an inclusive and welcoming group that wants our team mates and the communities we work with to be able to thrive.

We believe that our team and our projects should reflect the diversity of the communities they seek to serve. We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, disabled people, those who are neurodivergent, people who have experienced mental health challenges and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past.
