As a UK mental health charity, we are a network of people and grassroots groups with lived experience of mental ill-health, distress and trauma. We come together to create, challenge and campaign. NSUN is a user-led organisation, and all staff and trustees have lived experience of mental ill-health, distress or trauma.

Over the past 18 months, NSUN has scaled and changed. This is an exciting time to join an organisation which is growing, and a real opportunity to shape its future direction in this brand-new role.

We are looking for someone with relevant skills and experience to offer strategic support at a leadership level, strengthen our internal processes and governance, and lead on human resources, systems and financial governance.

We recognise this is a multifaceted role and are keen to attract candidates from a wide range of professional backgrounds. Accordingly, we have listed the essential elements of the role in the recruitment pack, and a range of beneficial elements, recognising that no one candidate will bring everything. Once the candidate has been appointed, our plan is to allocate additional resource to fill any potential gaps to support the Head of Operations and Finance.
