At West Devon CVS, we are looking for a new Chief Officer to provide leadership, direction and overall mangement of the charity and our friendly team of 12 staff. 

The role of Chief Officer in a VCSE infrastructure support organisation is wide-ranging and requires an agile leader, adept in relationship and people management and multi-tasking as well as being fearless in furthering the aims and objectives of the VCSE sector in West Devon. Someone who is capable of operating at both a strategic and an operational level.

Our Services and Projects

  • Leadership and advocacy: We provide leadership in our community, strengthening our sector’s voice and influence on key decision-makers and funders.
  • Partnerships and collaborations: We create and nurture opportunities for collaborative working by building networks and partnerships between local organisations and strategic partners so that communities are better equipped to collaborate and work together to develop and deliver projects; to respond in times of crisis; to understand need and develop solutions
  • Community Development: Practical support to local voluntary and community organisations so that people and communities become more resilient and able to flourish. We provide training, resources and advice to strengthen the capabilities of local groups, enabling them to develop and strengthen their services.
  • Active Citizenship: Active Citizenship and Volunteering is integral to thriving communities. We encourage and nurture volunteering opportunities, so that people can build connections and work together on things they care about, driving positive change locally.
  • Health and Wellbeing Projects: Our projects deliver improved health and wellbeing outcomes where they can be supported by services from the not for profit sector.  Current projects are Social Prescribing, Hospital Discharge and HOPE workshop facilitation. Whilst these projects are aimed at individuals it is with the explicit aim of re engaging them with their communities. The understanding of the services required and the ability to support services provide a wrap around service to the groups concerned.

If you enjoy a challenge then this is the role for you.
