This role is being funded by the Rank Foundation’s Time to Shine programme. This is a leadership programme to address both the increasing demands of the social sector to improve business capability skills and to address the wide-spread challenge of under-employment faced by many people.

As well as providing valuable funding for the position, the Time to Shine programme also incorporates a range of personal and professional development activities for the Time to Shine leader, their line manager and in turn, the whole organisation. Alongside your main duties listed here, the successful candidate will also participate in a structured programme of learning sessions to help your own development and progress as an emerging leader.
