Developing Health & Independence (DHI) is a charity that helps disadvantaged and vulnerable people turn lives around, stand on their own feet and reduce dependency.   We do this because we believe everyone should have the chance to achieve their potential to make a valuable contribution to society. 

We help young people and adults overcome structural barriers and self-limiting behaviours that are holding them back.  Our clients are often disadvantaged or living at the margins, meaning they are disproportionately affected by substance misuse, homelessness, offending, mental health issues and other factors that contribute to social exclusion.

Reporting to the CEO you will be responsible for driving and managing the central administrative and core infrastructure functions across the charity. As well as being closely involved in the day-to-day activities  you will provide high level proactive advice, and quality services for the other Directors across all central and client service areas, including, finance and procurement, human resources, information technology development, health and safety, premises, office services, in addition to working closely with our retained legal advisor.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working in partnership with operational colleagues to supply clear, quality assured and compliant best practice processes from the centre, which are developed and implemented collaboratively with those delivering core services to DHI’s client base. 

The ideal person will combine practical, hands-on delivery with strong leadership and relationship building skills and be able to operate successfully in a dynamic, regularly changing environment.
