The NBN Trust is a nature charity with a difference. Our mission is making data work for nature. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth and, if we’re to stand any hope of fixing it, we’re going to need data. Lots of data. “What gets measured gets done”, as the saying goes. We need to understand what we’ve lost and what remains. We need to set targets for nature’s recovery. And we need to measure success as nature turns the corner and starts to make a comeback.

That’s where the NBN Trust comes in. We support the entire UK conservation movement by providing public access to the wildlife data that’s needed to make good decisions for nature. We’re a conservation charity, tech charity and people charity rolled into one – a unique combination!

You’ll be responsible for: 

· Driving the delivery of our strategy and vision of making data work for nature.

· Developing and maintaining excellent relationships with our partners, funders and stakeholders.

· Overseeing the day-to-day management of the NBN Trust, ensuring financial sustainability, staff performance and wellbeing, and good governance.

We’re looking for someone with a data or digital background, with a track record of overseeing the delivery a high-quality user experience through digital products and commercialising data or digital services. Passion for nature conservation is essential, as well as a desire to engage with the many natural history specialists who contribute data to the NBN Atlas. We’re looking for an ambitious individual with an agile, entrepreneurial mind-set, who can drive income generation and growth.

The ideal candidate understands what an excellent data platform looks like and how to continually evolve this to keep up with trends and developments. Attention to detail and ability to horizon-scan is key in overseeing the Trust’s projects and key work streams and ensuring good governance. The NBN Trust is a small team, with a big responsibility, undergoing a period of change, and your role will be to steer the staff through this change and deliver the NBN Trust’s strategy.

We’re a 100% remote-working charity, so you’ll need to be comfortable and effective working from home. The whole team meets up four times a year for in-person team meetings (in London and other locations around the UK).  The post holder may be required to work occasional weekends and evenings. 

Applicants must reside in the UK and be eligible to work in the UK. 

We’re an equal opportunities and Living Wage employer. We welcome all applicants, and we’re striving to create an inclusive and diverse team. If you’re interested in joining us, please read the Job Pack – and get in touch if there’s anything you’d like to ask.

PLEASE NOTE: This role is being advertised by NFP People on behalf of the organisation.

Fifty years ago, Home-Start began with a simple yet powerful idea: parents supporting each other can transform lives. Today, we are a national movement of volunteers, staff, and partners, standing alongside families to ensure every child has the best possible start in life.

The last few years have placed increasing pressure on families. The cost-of-living crisis is forcing parents to make impossible trade-offs. The erosion of public services, the NHS and social care can leave little support around the earliest moment of a child’s life. The need for our support has never been greater.

With a network of 177 independently governed local Home-Starts across the UK and a central supporting team at Home-Start UK, we are united in our mission to provide compassionate, non-judgemental support to families facing challenges such as isolation, poor mental health and financial pressures. Last year, the network supported 75,500 children in 58,850 families across the UK and British armed forces in Cyprus, with the help of our dedicated staff and nearly 8,000 volunteers.

While we are proud of the impact we make, the need for early years support remains vast, and we currently reach only a fraction of the families we aim to help. Our network is aligned by an ambitious federation-wide strategy to expand our reach and drive meaningful change. With this shared commitment, we aim to double the number of families we support and leverage innovative approaches to scale our impact, reaching 200,000 families a year.

About the role:

As the central organisation in the Home-Start federation, Home-Start UK exists to aid the Home-Start network, providing leadership, voice and quality assurance support to ensure the network has the capacity and resilience to sustainably stand alongside families and communities in times of challenge.

With our current Chief Executive moving on after a successful tenure, we are looking for an exceptional leader to take Home-Start UK into its next chapter. As Chief Executive, you will work collaboratively with our federated network, partners, and funders to enhance our profile, strengthen our voice, expand our reach and deepen our impact. You will help secure bold and sustainable growth and influence policy to ensure early years support remains a national priority.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a dynamic, values-driven organisation at a critical time for UK families. We seek a visionary, highly collaborative leader passionate about social change— someone who excels at uniting people around a shared vision. You will be an inspiring advocate, strategic thinker, and skilled influencer and partnership builder, adept at navigating complexity and championing our movement. A personal commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusive relationships and work cultures is essential.

Diversity and Inclusion at Home-Start UK and in this recruitment:

We appreciate this is an important role with a significant mandate, so are keen to consider how a mix of skills and intersectional insights can contribute to our mission - we are open to exploring new models of leadership structure to achieve this aim, including exploring Co-CEO models. So, if you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet every single aspect of the person specification, please still apply – we would love to explore the role further with you!
