Coordinator to CEO of The JPK Sussex.
Information
The JPK Sussex is a revamped charity in the heart of the Learning Disability and Autism community. A new direction is upon us; and we seek the right character to come on board and take the lead of the vision and values of The JPK Sussex.
The role is flexible but planned to start as part time while we establish (with the right person) the future and direction; and as we build to being a powerhouse of brilliance.
As a group of Trustee’s and with our amazing site (in Old Town Eastbourne), we aim to progress The JPK Sussex to support the betterment of lives and help our wonderful community - to have the best lives possible.
What the role involves:
As trustee’s, we have high hopes and aims; and want to turn the site we have (in partnership with our supporters and fellow not-for-profit organsiations/partners) into a thriving charitable hub for inclusion and brilliance. The role involves being a central figure in this; with a need to flexibly work to run the centre, build the charity, fund raise and work fluidly with the board.
Leading a team (when established), managing volunteers, being an inspiration, communication with various stakeholders and passion for the community of neurodivergent people and their families are all vital components.
The long term role is unclear – however, will be determined based on the candidates skills, time, drive and shaping of the charity.
Our plans:
We plan to build the site into The Centre for Celebrating Neurodivergence and to offer evening/weekend groups, a learning place, consultancy, activism, family advice/support and a setting as a community centre for the LD and ASD community.
Reunifications and hours:
These remain flexible and unclear, but a paid role. We are very open to candidates from ambitious coordinators to skilled managers/CEO’s. We anticipate 10-20 hours a week (at £20k pro rata), with an ideal to build to a full time role in the future. However, we are very flexible for how best to ensure the package works well for the right candidate in partnership with our partners.
Value-base
Your value-base is vital to The JPK Sussex and our vision for the future. The values of Charity, Entrepreneur, Equality, Passion for the community and Drive are vital for the role and the right person.
