Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

The Company is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to guide its next stage of development, strengthen organizational capacity, and sustain accessible, high-quality services. Working with the board, management team, staff, and volunteers, the CEO will set strategic direction, shape effective organizational and management structures, and foster an open, inclusive, and accountable culture. Responsibilities include improving communication and management capability, keeping clients central to decisions, and leading technology-enabled improvements to service access and delivery. The CEO will also maintain funding and partnership relationships, diversify income, and represent the organization across its communities and wider networks. Candidates should be credible senior leaders with experience leading organizations of comparable scale or complexity. They will bring a record of organizational or cultural change, developing people and management capability, and working effectively with a board of trustees. Strong financial judgment, income-generation experience, and the ability to build trusted relationships with funders, commissioners, partners, and diverse communities are essential. Applicants should be comfortable balancing internal leadership with external representation and partnership work; experience with federated structures or quality-assessed services is advantageous. A visible, approachable, values-led style and the confidence to provide clear direction and make difficult decisions are also important.
