CVS Brent Vacancy – Chief Executive £50,000 inclusive of London Weighting
CVS Brent is an independent, capacity building organisation, supporting groups providing community services on a not-for-profit basis, for the local community in the London Borough of Brent. We contribute to the creation of an independent, trusted and sustainable voluntary and community sector (VCS) to further develop a thriving civil society. This is achieved through the provision of services using a mixture of group training, information and guidance. Our goal is local VCS agencies equipped and able to provide cutting edge local services.
CVS Brent is looking for a new Chief Executive to continue the organisation’s development and lead on supporting Brent’s VCS. This is an exciting position which requires the successful candidate to maintain high level strategic relationships with local authorities and ongoing professional development support for local voluntary & community organisations in the midst of a changing climate.
CVS Brent will experience challenges in the year ahead, with a changing funding climate and an evolution of its workforce. A new CEO’s task will be to re-establish the staffing of CVS Brent and align its services to meet new and priority areas in the sector, as identified in the CVS Brent Annual Survey 2016, which includes the following:
• Continued support for the VCS’s development
• Exploring alternative methods for economic sustainability
• Support to establish more partnerships to respond to needs (e.g. health).
CVS Brent has a stable financial position and continued income from its licensed office space and hiring out of the training room. CVS Brent’s current lease expires on the 17th Oct 2018 and the new CEO will also be expected to begin work on identifying new premises ahead of this date to ensure a smooth transition.
