At The Birch Collective, we believe in the power of nature, community, and connection. We’re a social enterprise dedicated to helping people aged 16-25 in Bristol and the surrounding areas who might be feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure of their place in the world. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or just looking for a space to belong, we’re here to walk alongside you.

In this vital role, the Operations Manager will support and work directly with the existing team and particularly
the Director, reporting directly to them and replacing one of our Directors while they are on maternity leave. As
this is a broad role, encompassing a number of different aspects that the outgoing Director has held
responsibility for, we are looking for someone who is driven, fast to learn and has wide ranging experience.
You will have excellent communication skills and the ability to empower our board to take a more active role in
the organisation and to place the views of 16-25 year-olds at the heart of our work. The Director will lead on
finance and fundraising and will hold the strategic oversight of the business. You will lead on the smooth
running of our operations including:
. Develop and implement a strategy for making the most of our board, empowering them to become
more involved and take more responsibility within the organisation
. Set up a youth shadow board in collaboration with the Director so the people we serve are at the heart
of our organisation
. Diversity and inclusion – a review of our current policies and practises and advice on how to improve
them
. Oversee Birch’s key governance documents, including the Articles of Association and the organisations
Strategic Objectives, and will be the policy manager for the organisation.
. Supporting the Director with finance, fundraising and strategic overview of the business
