As we look ahead to an important new chapter for Birmingham Open Spaces Forum, we’re sharing an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of our work. Our current Operations Director will be retiring next year, and we are now looking for someone to carry forward the vision, energy and community spirit that drives BOSF. For over 20 years, BOSF has supported Birmingham’s park and open space volunteers, helping around 150 member groups care for the city’s 600 designated open spaces. The Operations Director plays a key role in this, guiding the organisation’s day to day operations and helping deliver the strategic aims set by our Trustees.
This is a chance to make a real impact in Birmingham’s communities, working closely with volunteers, partner organisations and the BOSF team to strengthen and grow the network. Although experience in green spaces is welcome, it’s not essential. We’re keen to hear from people with skills from across the charitable, voluntary or wider sectors who share a commitment to community led action and local green spaces.
About the Role
The Operations Director will:
- Lead and manage BOSF’s ongoing operations
- Support delivery of strategic and performance objectives
- Work closely with volunteers, community organisations and partners
- Help guide BOSF into its next phase of development as we continue to grow
We anticipate the successful candidate will be able to take up the post from early March 2026.
