About Victoria Hall Harrow
The Victoria Hall Harrow charity started in 1888, with the aim of building a high quality venue for the people of Harrow to come together and to build community. Since then our venue Victoria Hall has been rebuilt twice, most recently reopening to the public in Summer 2021. We also created a new charity some years back (a CIO), transferring the assets of the old charity over. For this reason our Charity Commission listing below is not representative of our current financial position and our assets.
For around 140 years Victoria Hall has provided space for rent to local residents and groups. It has been used for every possible purpose - parties, events, activities, conferences and much more.
More recently the trustee board have embarked on a renewed strategy process, and we are now relaunching the charity as a partnership-first community centre, that identifies local needs and uses our assets to best meet those needs, working with a wide range of partners to serve the local diverse communities.
In June 2024 we agreed our new Vision and Mission. We are still now working through the overall draft of our strategy, which we will be happy to share with you as soon as it is ready in 1st draft form.
Our Vision
A connected and inclusive Harrow, where people and communities thrive.
Our Mission
We facilitate connections, providing space and support for activities and services to identify and meet the needs of Harrow’s diverse communities.
We collaborate with local residents, groups and organisations, using a partnership-first approach.
In order to achieve our new Vision and Mission we now need to recruit our first ever CEO. We thank you for your interest in the role, and we look forward to receiving your application.
Role Summary
As our first CEO, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Victoria Hall. You will be responsible for leading the organisation through this exciting transition, working closely with the Board of Trustees, staff, partners, and the wider community. This is a unique opportunity to build on our rich history and create a vibrant community hub that makes a real difference in people's lives.
The charity is in a solid financial position, which will enable us with the correct leadership in place to make real progress in our Vision and Mission. Our premises are new and extremely high quality, and very well located. There is a serious lack of high quality community space in Harrow, and we know already that there is significant demand and interest from a whole range of groups who serve the local diverse community.
You will lead us in identifying what the most important and pressing needs are in our local community, and how best to meet those using our resources. You will create effective and impactful partnerships with local residents, community groups and charities, plus businesses and the statutory sector, to meet the needs identified.

The vacancy
We are seeking to appoint 11 lay chair members to our Hearings Panel.
About the GOC
We are the regulator for the optical professions in the UK. Our purpose is to protect the public by promoting high standards of education, performance and conduct.
About the Hearings Panel
The Hearings Panel’s work relates to our Fitness to Practise functions. The Panel consists of around 70 members, lay (non-registrant) and registrant, from whom members of our Fitness to Practise Committees (FtPCs) and Registration Appeals Committees (RACs) are drawn. As a lay chair member of our Hearings Panel, you will chair either FtPCs or RACs.
You do not have to be a legally qualified individual or have specialist medical knowledge for this role. We are looking for individuals who can chair meetings effectively and impartially, ensure that allegations are considered fairly and independently, and that standards are maintained for registrants and the protection of the public.
A FtPC considers whether a registrant’s fitness to practise is impaired and imposes sanctions if appropriate to do so. This includes considering allegations, hearing evidence, and determining the fitness to practise, train or carry on business of our registrants.
A FtPC also determines whether it is necessary for interim measures (suspension or conditions) to be put in place whilst an investigation is in progress for the protection of members of the public or in the interests of a registrant.
A RAC considers an appeal against a decision by our Registrar to refuse to enter or restore an individual or business to the appropriate register; and applications for restoration by former registrants who have been erased by the FtPC.
We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds with a passion for public protection; and the ability to think critically, listen effectively, consider evidence and to build a consensus.
Remuneration and time commitment
This role requires a commitment of approximately 16-20 days per year, including time spent preparing for meetings. Meetings will usually take place via MS teams, but on occasion may be held at our offices in Central London.
A daily fee of £372 is paid in line with our member fees policy and member fee schedule, and expenses can also be claimed.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: midnight Sunday 28 July 2024.
Online interviews will be held on the week commencing 2 September 2024.
For more information on the role and how to apply please refer to the candidate recruitment pack attached.
We strive to be as diverse as the public we protect and welcome applications from everyone, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy, maternity and geographical locations outside of London.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in the United Kingdom delivers a range of programming to support migrants, both in the UK and internationally, including projects focusing on labour migration, resettlement, migration and development, migrant protection, human trafficking and modern slavery, and community cohesion.
Survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking who were trafficked to the UK may decide to return to their country of origin. Evidence shows that support provided to survivors once they return home is crucial to helping them reintegrate safely and ensuring good overall protection outcomes, including protection against the risk of being re-trafficked. It also highlights the important role support providers play in preparing survivors for return and assisting them to access reintegration services and other forms of support in their countries of origin. However, potential areas for improvement have been identified among voluntary return support providers in the UK, including: how risks are assessed and managed; the quality and consistency of information provided on support available in countries of return; understanding barriers to accessing services; and how to ensure procedures for contact/ referrals are clear and consistent
IOM has been awarded a Home Office grant for a project which seeks to increase the capacity of organisations in the UK who support survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery (UK support providers) in the area of voluntary return and reintegration. In particular, the project will work across the following 3 outputs:
1) A comprehensive assessment of current voluntary return arrangements for survivors of all genders and ages in the UK will be carried out
2) A national mapping of available reintegration services and how survivors can access these services in common countries of return is completed (covering Albania, Brazil, China, India and Pakistan)
3) Voluntary return support providers across the UK have increased capacity to conduct appropriate risks assessments and risk management plans, and to provide clarity and consistency in the referral process.
IOM seeks a consultant to deliver key activities to support outputs 1 and 2.

You’ve got proven administrative experience and you’re a good team player with a flexible approach. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Richmond Fellowship’s YUVA service in Surrey as an Administrator.
The YUVA service supports young people aged 11-18 who have used violence or abuse toward family members or intimate partners. Our behavioural change programme works to help young people identify their abusive behaviours and develop healthy coping and communication patterns.
In this role, you will provide a range of admin support to the team which will include taking and managing referrals into the service, keeping database and client records, facilitating room and interpreter bookings and attending, contributing to and taking minutes at team meetings.
Enthusiastic and keen to develop, you’ve got good communication skills and a professional telephone manner as well as experience of maintaining computer databases. It goes without saying that you are able to prioritise a busy workload and work to deadlines and you’ll be keen to work within an organisation that works both with young people who use abuse and families who have experienced domestic violence.
In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.
This is a permanent role requiring the post holder to work 22.5 hours per week.
We are committed to increasing our diversity and welcome applications from those with Lived Experience.
This is a rolling recruitment process. Candidates will be interviewed as and when they are shortlisted.
To apply, please send a CV and covering letter explaining why you feel you are right for the role.
On 1st June 2024, Richmond Fellowship, part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence merged with Humankind to form a single organisation that provides the joined-up mental health, housing and drug and alcohol support we’ve all known has been needed for decades. In October 2024, Humankind will be renamed to reflect the new organisation.
Yeldall Manor is a Christian recovery centre for men wanting to overcome their addiction problems. We have created this new part-time position to provide consistent and professional HR support to the organisation, bringing together various roles currently undertaken by a few different staff members.
The role will suit someone who can work under their own initiative (after training in our charity practices), experienced in overseeing the employee journey from recruitment and retention to departure. You will act as the first point of contact for HR-related queries, and ensure that the charity is compliant with all relevant legislation. This will involve dealing with all employment matters, building robust policies & procedures, and implementation across the organisation. You would also be responsible for preparing the staff rota and all related administration. We do not currently have HR software, so reviewing our requirements in this area would be one of your responsibilities. Please see the job description for full information about this varied post.
As a small charity (c. 35 staff including part-time and casual workers), the role will require balancing practical and administrative tasks with management responsibilities. We anticipate that you'll be based in the office for at least two days out of the three days/24 hours worked per week. This is in a lovely rural setting near Twyford (Reading) and, being situated within the rehabilitation centre, you will have daily contact with those men whom you are ultimately helping. They inspire and motivate us just as much as we seek to encourage and support them.
As this is a strategic post within an actively Christian setting, applications should be from committed Christians. Schedule 9, Part 1:3(a) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.
Yeldall wants all those affected by addiction to heal, transform and thrive.

ABOUT US
HERSANA CIC is the first and leading Gender-based Violence Support Service providing advice, support and advocacy to Black women and girls [femmes] who have experienced any form of gender-based violence.
We were founded in 2016, and have been championing the needs and safety of Black femmes ever since. HERSANA works directly with thousands of Black femmes who have experienced abuse and violence. We specialise in domestic abuse, sexual violence, female genital mutilation, and other forms of abuse including honour-based abuse and forced marriage.
We are a service run by Black women, for Black women, and with Black women in mind and at the forefront. We have been working to end violence against women and girls in all its forms whilst providing wholistic support to Black femme survivors by providing advocacy services nationally for Black femmes who need longer-term support.
We provide free long-term counselling, as well as short-term emotional and practical support. As a leading expert on violence against women and girls, HERSANA provides accredited and tailored training to a wide range of statutory professionals and workshops to young people and community groups.
We use what we learn through working on the frontlines with clients to work for national and local policy change to improve outcomes for Black femme victims and survivors of abuse and violence. We build evidence through key pieces of research. We push for legislative change, improved statutory guidance for victims, and better understanding of the needs of Black femmes around the country.
Our mission is to create wholistic, gender-specialist, culturally specific and trauma-informed safe spaces for Black women and girls affected by or at risk of gender-based violence across England, as well as campaign to eradicate violence against women and girls in all its forms. We aim to centre Black femmes in every narrative and to provide these services in a safe and Black femme only environment.
We believe that safe spaces like our own can provide a sanctuary from the world of facades, a sacred space where we, Black femmes, can be ourselves, as we are. This kind of unmasking – speaking our truth, sharing our inner struggles, and revealing our raw edges – is sacred activity. Safe spaces designed by us, for you and with you in mind and at the forefront. BEING A Counsellor
