Job description

Exeter-based charity, St Petrock and Heavitree Lands Charity has a long history in supporting people with their housing needs and today owns seventy almshouses across the City of Exeter. The charity provides accommodation for local people with limited income, typically of retirement age. The charity has recently been able to complete a new build of twenty-two new almshouses.

Historically, the administrative management of the charity has been outsourced to Simpkins Edwards Chartered Accountants in Exeter who have provided a Clerk to the Charity. The Clerk operates in an advisory capacity. Following recent growth, the Charity now needs to appoint a General Manager to oversee the administration of the organisation and operational decision-making.

Responsibilities

We are looking for someone who can offer previous general management experience, ideally in a charity setting where you have been working with a voluntary Trustee Board. You will need a high level of IT literacy and previous experience with Quickbooks would be a bonus. We need someone who has a supportive and motivating management style and is able to make well-informed decisions. Naturally you will have excellent communication and presentation skills.

Office Location

The charity has a small office in Queen Street and the role will be primarily based there.
