Description
Outward is a charitable organisation, based in North East London, supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, young people and older people, to overcome life barriers and live fulfilling lives.
We are part of the Newlon Group and a subsidiary of Newlon Housing Trust.
We are looking for a new Director of People and Corporate Services to join our executive leadership team. You will lead on our human resources, learning and development, marketing and communications and digital functions.
It is an exciting time at Outward as we are about to develop a new long-term strategy to guide our charity from 2025 into the future. We are financially strong, have ‘Good’ CQC ratings and reputation, new service developments in the pipeline and innovative and exciting change management projects in their early stages. As Director of People and Corporate services, you will be the lead director for two of these key projects – our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and Digital strategies.
Our ideal candidate will have led on human resources and learning and development functions at a senior level and be a fully qualified chartered member of CIPD. You will need to be organised, an excellent communicator and skilled in delivering major change projects. A real commitment to equity, understanding of best practices, and experience in building inclusive and engaged workplaces, cultural awareness, and sensitivity is essential.
Outward is all about values, not profit, and everything we do is focused upon ‘Engaging, Enabling and Empowering’ our people.
