Who we are
At Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, we are here to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, rather than as patients, as families, not just as carers. Partnering with London NHS Trusts, we have built a home, a community and an expert team to make that difference.
We help babies, children, and young people with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions and their families make the most of every day. Additionally, we support those who die young to do so in as much comfort as possible, surrounded by family.
Our expert staff and trained volunteers provide clinical, emotional and practical support for families across north and central London and Herts Valley. We carefully adapt our support for every child and offer it wherever it is required – whether in their home, their community or at our state-of-the-art children’s hospice building, The Ark, in Barnet.
Who we are looking for
To help drive our ambitious and exciting strategy forward, we are now seeking an experienced Director of People to provide strategic leadership across the organisation and motivate and develop an emergent HR team.
It is not essential to have prior knowledge or experience of the hospice sector, but it is crucial our Director of People can recognise and successfully manage the careful balance between strategic delivery and day-to-day operational demands in a lean organisation. Being able to drive strategic development, innovation and change whilst also being prepared and willing to roll their sleeves up as required.
We are seeking an exceptional people leader; someone professional, empathetic and supportive, well versed in developing the capability of their team and bringing energy, gravitas and high levels of emotional intelligence. Responsible for all aspects of HR and volunteer management, the ideal candidate will bring a range of strategic and operational HR experience across a broad remit, including the ability to work confidently with a board of trustees.
Above all else, you will be driven to make a difference for babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and intrinsically aligned to our values. These values shape and underpin absolutely everything we do at Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice.
