Director

The Porch is a small charity whose key objectives are to relieve poverty amongst the homeless, needy, isolated and poorly housed in the Oxford area, and in particular works closely with those affected by mental health issues and substance abuse. The Porch is a day centre that provides lunchtime hot meals, access to showers and laundry facilities, a clothing bank, internet access and trained staff to help clients with their paperwork issues. The Porch is going through a period of change. As well as its existing support function, the charity has acquired a new building and is raising funds to convert it into a new centre for operations.

We are looking for someone who will be innovative and imaginative with a pragmatic and hands–on approach. They will provide leadership for the charity, be responsible for its administration and financial management, and oversee operational activities. They will work closely with the Board of Trustees and senior team to develop the long–term strategy and business plan. They will be able to demonstrate a successful track record in strategic delivery and transformational change.
