1 in 20 young people will have experienced the death of one or both of their parents by the age of 16 (Parsons, 2011). Do you believe that children and young people should not be alone on their bereavement journey? We do – help us to achieve our vision across Surrey and nearby areas of West and East Sussex and Kent.
Who we are
We are a medium-sized charity supporting children and young people in Surrey and surrounding areas who have been bereaved or who are facing the bereavement of a close family member. We are the only charity in our local community providing a range of services that give children and families the opportunity to come together in person. We know we make a difference to children and young people at a really difficult time and support them to move forward with their lives.
About the role
Our current Director has stepped down for health reasons. We are seeking an exceptional and inspirational leader to focus on income generation and sustainability who shares our values of compassion, integrity and collaboration. We are aiming to reach all children and young people in our local communities who need our support through their bereavement journey. This is a broad role in an ambitious organisation with limited resources, it involves a mix of operational, strategic and external‑facing activities.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for a proven leader with charity experience with enthusiasm for our vision. They will have skills in income generation, fundraising, relationship building, managing a small team of dedicated staff and managing limited resources to provide the largest impact for our children and families. Jigsaw South East is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
