Summary and responsibilities

Role overview

Summary

This senior leadership role at Calder Rivers Trust oversees internal services, ensuring the organization is well-run, financially sound, and compliant. The Head of Internal Services guides organizational development, supports strategic decision-making, and leads finance, governance, risk, people, and technology functions to build future capacity.

We're looking for a Head of Internal Services to help shape the future of Calder Rivers Trust.


This is a senior leadership role with organisation-wide responsibility for ensuring the Trust is well run, well governed, financially sound, compliant and resilient. You'll provide the foundations that enable our teams to deliver environmental impact today while building the capacity and capability we need for the future.


Working closely with the General Manager, Board and leadership team, you'll help guide organisational development, support strategic decision-making, and ensure the Trust has the systems, information, resources and assurance needed to grow with confidence.


You'll lead our approach to finance, governance, risk, compliance, people, health and safety, organisational performance, systems and technology. You'll ensure these areas work together effectively, with clear responsibilities, strong controls and practical arrangements that support colleagues across the Trust.


As a trusted adviser to trustees and senior leaders, you'll provide insight, support and constructive challenge, helping ensure good decisions are informed by strong information and a clear understanding of organisational priorities, opportunities and risks.


You'll also play a leading role in organisational planning and development, helping translate strategy into action, strengthening management practice, improving how information flows across the organisation, and identifying opportunities to improve how we work.


We're looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with practical leadership. You'll enjoy bringing clarity to complexity, improving systems, developing people and helping organisations perform at their best. You might come from a finance, governance, operations, organisational development, HR, charity leadership or corporate services background. What matters most is your ability to take a whole-organisation view and turn ambition into effective organisational practice.


We’re a flexible, human-centred organisation. The role is full-time (35 hours/week), with 28 days’ holiday plus public holidays. You can choose a working pattern that fits your life, and we’re happy to explore reduced hours if that’s what you need.
