Director of People, Governance and Risk
Girlguiding
This is a hybrid role with two days a week (on average) in London office, London
£92,936 plus a £3,500 location allowance per annum
We help every girl discover this for herself, whether she’s 4 or 18 or in between. All girls have a home at Girlguiding – whoever they are, and wherever they are. This is a place where she can be herself, get creative, explore, and have fun. Where she’ll make special friends and do things she never thought she could.
Girlguiding is what each girl wants it to be. She can choose her own path through our activities and events. It might be giggles in sleeping bags. Songs around a campfire. The buzz of getting a new badge. The sound of thousands of excited girls at their very own music festival. The thrill of doing something for the first time. Coming home exhausted and full of stories and having made new friends.
THE ROLE
Alongside our day-to-day service to our members we are also transforming the organisation so it can meet the challenges of the future. We are on a mission to amplify the voices of girls and young women, so they can champion change in their own lives and the wider world; to build strong partnerships that can increase our reach and impact; and to increase the support we offer our 78,000 amazing adult volunteers who deliver incredible experiences to young people in 22k units across the UK every week.
Our current Director is retiring so we are looking for a passionate and resilient leader who shares our values and One Team vision to enable even more girls and young women to fulfil their potential. You will play a key role in leading our people, governance and compliance services across the organisation. Experienced in taking responsibilities for delivering organisational and culture change, dealing with boards and regulation and compliance you will be a strong senior team player and influencer familiar with engaging executive colleagues, staff, trustees, volunteers and other key stakeholders towards common goals.
While Girlguiding’s young membership is only open to girls and young women, we value the differences that a diverse workforce brings and are committed to inclusivity, and to employing and supporting a diverse workforce.
