Who We Are The Race Equality Foundation is a national charity working to tackle systemic racism and create the conditions for everyone to live healthy, secure and fulfilling lives and we are looking to appoint a Head of Operations. We combine evidence, co-production and practical action to address the root causes of racial inequality. Our work focuses not only on identifying inequality, but on challenging the structural racism, discrimination and unequal distribution of power that drive them. We work alongside communities, practitioners, policymakers and institutions to develop evidence-informed solutions that improve services, strengthen communities and promote racial justice. Today, our work spans health and care, employment, housing and community wellbeing. Through partnerships, research, training and policy influence, we continue to demonstrate what meaningful anti-racist systems change can look like in practice.

We are looking for an effective communicator to ensure that people, systems, and resources support the Foundation's mission and enable staff to do their best work. We are not looking for someone who believes every challenge requires a new process. We are looking for someone who can exercise sound judgement, introduce structure where it adds value and help create the conditions in which staff and managers can focus on delivering impact. The postholder will be expected to bring a strong commitment to anti-racism, equity and inclusion in the way they approach organisational development and operational leadership.

Proven track record of managing HR procedures, demonstrating strong interpersonal and communication skills, and effective people management including maintaining working relationships with colleagues at all levels. Strong ability to balance strategic thinking with operational delivery. Strong understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion and the ability to apply these principles in practice. Experience of working in an environment that requires flexibility, sound judgement and the ability to manage competing priorities. Experience of managing external suppliers, advisers or contractors. Desirable Experience of working in a time and resource limited small or start up organisation. Experience of working with boards, trustees or governance structures. Experience of working in an organisation committed to equality, anti-racism or social justice. Knowledge of organisational development or change management approaches. Pay and Conditions of Service This post is permanent and full-time. The annual full-time salary for this role is between £47,911 and £53,890, inclusive of London Weighting. There is a probationary period of six months for this post. Full-time staff are entitled to 25 days holiday leave per annum with additional days for long service.

Who We Are The Race Equality Foundation is a national charity working to tackle systemic racism and create the conditions for everyone to live healthy, secure and fulfilling lives and we are looking to appoint a Head of Operations. We combine evidence, co-production and practical action to address the root causes of racial inequality. Our work focuses not only on identifying inequality, but on challenging the structural racism, discrimination and unequal distribution of power that drive them. We work alongside communities, practitioners, policymakers and institutions to develop evidence-informed solutions that improve services, strengthen communities and promote racial justice. Today, our work spans health and care, employment, housing and community wellbeing. Through partnerships, research, training and policy influence, we continue to demonstrate what meaningful anti-racist systems change can look like in practice. We are based in London but have a national remit. Job description We are entering a period of organisational growth and staff restructure, and the Head of Operations will be a new post at REF. The postholder will be ready to get stuck in, helping us to identify and address operational challenges before they become problems and reduce unnecessary demands on managers and senior leaders. We are looking for an effective communicator to ensure that people, systems, and resources support the Foundation's mission and enable staff to do their best work. We are not looking for someone who believes every challenge requires a new process. We are looking for someone who can exercise sound judgement, introduce structure where it adds value and help create the conditions in which staff and managers can focus on delivering impact. The postholder will be expected to bring a strong commitment to anti-racism, equity and inclusion in the way they approach organisational development and operational leadership. See Job Description document for full details of the role and responsibilties. Person Specification Essential Several years' experience in a senior operational, organisational development or business management role in a charity or voluntary sector organisation. Proven track record of driving operational improvements, such as overseeing or changing workflow systems, maintaining good governance and compliance policies, or implementing strong CRM systems. Proven track record of managing HR procedures, demonstrating strong interpersonal and communication skills, and effective people management including maintaining working relationships with colleagues at all levels. Strong ability to balance strategic thinking with operational delivery. Strong understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion and the ability to apply these principles in practice. Experience of working in an environment that requires flexibility, sound judgement and the ability to manage competing priorities. Experience of managing external suppliers, advisers or contractors. Desirable Experience of working in a time and resource limited small or start up organisation. Experience of working with boards, trustees or governance structures. Experience of working in an organisation committed to equality, anti-racism or social justice. Knowledge of organisational development or change management approaches.
