Team Leader Jobs in Belfast

The award-winning Black Swimming Association is recruiting a CEO to lead its close knit, passionate team into its fifth year of establishment.

In 2019, four cofounders came together in an attempt to make a difference. Nearly five years on, our small and dedicated team are committed to changing the narrative. What's our why? Through research and insights and programme delivery, we work to raise awareness of water safety and drowning prevention, in particular amongst African, Caribbean and Asian communities across the UK. By amplifying the voices and experiences of ethnically diverse and other marginalised communities, we aim to challenge the status quo and dismantle the barriers that prevent individuals from fully participating in and benefiting from aquatics.

Why do we want to hear from you? The BSA Group has been growing from strength to strength and is looking for an experienced leader to take us into this new chapter. The BSA group consists of the award-winning Black Swimming Association (charity) and Inclusive Aquatics (C.I.C) and the CEO role will contribute to the work of both the charity and the C.I.C.

If you're ready to make a difference to communities across the UK and be part of something truly impactful and inspiring, this is the job for you. A corporate title without the corporate faff.

The Director of Donor Engagement plays a critical role in helping us secure the capacity building funds needed to help the RIVET rocket get into orbit in the meantime. Your success is largely defined by donors renewing and deepening their support, and increasingly serving as an engine for RIVET’s expanded global impact.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with HAMRAH's partner cohort organisations (10 CSOs in exile), mentors, the advisory board, and other key stakeholders.
