About NSUN (the National Survivor User Network)
NSUN is a charity and a membership organisation. We are a network of grassroots, user-led mental health groups and people with lived experience of mental ill-health, distress and trauma. We connect, support and amplify the voices and work of our membership and work towards the redistribution of power and resource in mental health.
NSUN is a user-led organisation, and all staff and trustees have lived experience of mental ill-health, distress or trauma.
Over the past couple of years, NSUN has scaled and changed. This is an exciting time to join an organisation which is growing and embarking upon an exciting new strategic direction, focussed on doing things differently in mental health and beyond.
About the role
We are looking for someone with relevant skills and experience to play a vital role in the effective running and day to day functions of the charity through managing operations across areas of governance, policies, processes, compliance, and people and culture. There is also the option for candidates with finance experience to undertake the role with additional financial tasks in their job description as a full time (five days per week) role, rather than a four day per week role (more information in the recruitment pack).
In this dynamic role you will work closely with other NSUN staff, Associates and the Board of Trustees to ensure that NSUN’s operations run smoothly and effectively, allowing us as an organisation to undertake our unique work in the lived experience mental health landscape, where we take a creative and critical approach to thinking about mental ill-health, distress, and trauma.
We are looking for someone who has experience of holding an operations role, ideally also in the charity sector and in a small organisation. The ideal candidate will have excellent organisation, IT, and communications skills, with strong attention to detail. You must also have a passion for NSUN’s work and our mission, vision, and values.
The deadline for applications is 9am on Monday 20th November 2023. If you have any feedback or questions about this recruitment pack or require it in a different format, please let us know. You can contact Jen Beardsley, Interim CEO, at jen.beardsley@nsun.org.uk.
