About Contact

At Contact, we provide vital information, advice and support to parent carers with disabled children, across all four nations of the UK. Last year, we reached 413,000 families, helping parents to navigate the health, social care, education and welfare systems.

Parents tell us that our support has increased their confidence, helped them feel less alone, and made a huge difference to the support they receive. Our family finance support alone, on average, increases family incomes by £5,918 per year.

About the role

This is an exciting time for Contact. We are embarking on a new strategy, with an aim to end the battle parent carers face when accessing help and support for their family.

As a critical member of the Executive team, you will play a central part in delivering on that aim, and help Contact to grow our reach, profile and impact for families across the UK.

In this role, you will lead a team of 40 and handle a budget of £2 million, including our core contract with the Department for Education to deliver a national helpline.

Who we are looking for

You will have the vision to bring together our digital-first information and advice services and tailored community support into a joined-up offer for families.

You will bring a track record in delivering change and scale, to help us grow our reach and innovate our delivery, so that our services are sustainable for the long-term.

You will have excellent judgment, equally able to seize opportunities for partnership and funding, and to carefully manage risk.
