We are recruiting

Part-time Director: Ealing Abbey Counselling Service

We are recruiting a Director to lead and oversee the strategic, operational, financial, stakeholder and personnel functions of EACS, who would enjoy a hands-on role working with a small part-time staff team, supporting a medium-sized organisation.  

The role requires a broad skillset and brings a balance of engaging with internal day-to-day functions; and external collaboration borne out of a thorough grasp of all aspects of service-delivery and the culture of EACS.  

The role will bring a particular focus on long-term sustainability and increasing our visibility and reach, while continuing to maintain operational excellence and high-quality, compassionate service-delivery. 

You will join a hard-working, collaborative staff team that has flourished within a supportive, non-hierarchical structure but where lines of responsibility are clear.   

If you are motivated by the opportunity to lead an organisation where the work is both professional and deeply human, we would love to hear from you.
