Eight Quaker charities in London are merging at the end of 2026.

You will build a staff team from some current staff and new appointments.
You will be able to move confidently between strategy and delivery, advise at trustee level, lead staff well, manage complexity, communicate with Quakers operating across different levels throughout London, and ensure that decisions are translated into practical action.

Strategic leadership and organisational development
-
Leadership and staff management

Governance and trustee support

-
Stewardship of finance, property, and resources
