This is an exciting role to help shape the future direction of the charity Peak District Mosaic and their new project Championing National Parks for Everyone, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The Championing National Parks for Everyone project will deliver opportunities for diverse communities to visit, enjoy and work in National Parks, including the Community Champion training programme. A key outcome of the project is to build a strong legacy through this network of Community Champions and develop Peak District Mosaic as a resilient charity who can support this network into the future.
Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the Development Manager will develop Peak District Mosaic as a larger, more sustainable and financially resilient organisation. They will support the development of an income strategy so that Peak District Mosaic can continue to deliver activities in the future, scoping out further opportunities and developing partnerships as required. They will also support the development of processes, policies and systems at the charity to help build capacity, with the support of the Board of Trustees and Derbyshire Dales CVS. This work will support the charity to improve access to the National Parks long into the future.
The Development Manager will also work closely with the Board of Trustees and the Project Coordinator to deliver our current Championing National Parks for Everyone project. This is delivered by a partnership consisting of Peak District Mosaic, the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Park Authorities and Derbyshire Dales CVS. They will project manage the delivery of a range of activities within the National Parks that support more people from diverse communities to visit, enjoy and work in the National Parks, ensuring timely reporting and evaluation of the project to The National Lottery Heritage Fund. They will also manage a Project Coordinator who will deliver further training and support to the network of Community Champions that will empower them to run their own activities to support communities to visit the National Parks in the long-term.
The Development Manager will be one of two staff members in Peak District Mosaic, working closely alongside the Board of Trustees to achieve the project’s outcomes and progress the wider aims of the charity. The Development Manager will be the lead staff member in our small, growing charity and will need to be comfortable working independently as well as part of a small team.
