Senior Manager - Delivery Team (Maternity Cover) vacancy
Could you be our new Delivery Team Senior Manager?
This is a temporary role to provide senior programme and people management for our delivery team at the British Institute of Human Rights (BIHR). This role is fixed term during our Head of Policy and Programme’s maternity leave. BIHR is made up of a talented and experienced Delivery Team who are Human Rights Act (HRA) practice specialists. For this post we are looking for an excellent manager, committed to supporting a small, busy, expert team to deliver Human Rights Act (HRA) practice, communications and policy work. Your operational management and strategic thinking are the primary skills and experience needed. You do not need to be a subject expert in the HRA; that is the job of our Delivery Team. You must however, like all of BIHR’s team, be a champion for our work and bring the skills, knowledge and experience needed to support our team in the planning and delivery of BIHR’s objectives. This is an exciting role for someone with established management experience in the charity/voluntary sector, with a keen interest in UK human rights.
