Redcan development director

Part time: 30 hours per week

REDCAN is a collaboration of eight regional eating disorders charities. Our goal is to deliver expert-by-experience eating disorder services closer to those in need. For many years, people affected by eating disorders (EDs) have struggled to access specialist support. The sector faces numerous challenges, including inadequate funding, lack of understanding of EDs, and a ‘postcode lottery’ for both VCSE and NHS services. This restricts the availability and quality of services, leaving many service users without the support they need, and allowing their ED to escalate and become entrenched. Systemic change is necessary to address these issues effectively. REDCAN seeks to address these challenges and strengthen the VCSE eating disorder sector so everyone can access specialist support when they need it, and the profound impact of eating disorders on individuals and their families is reduced.

REDCAN seeks a Development Director to accelerate and amplify the impact of the Network to ensure more individuals and their families can receive our evidence-based care and support closer to where they live and work. The Development Director will:

* establish a collective vision, and agree objectives and a strategy for REDCAN
* facilitate the ongoing sharing of information, knowledge and tools between REDCAN members
* support members in meeting the immediate challenges of growing demand
