The BSA group consists of the award-winning Black Swimming Association (charity) and Inclusive Aquatics (C.I.C) and the CEO role will contribute to the work of both the charity and the C.I.C.

This is an essential role in the senior management of the Cathedral as they grow into their new status as a registered charity, regulated by the Charity Commission.

The Cathedral has had several years of financial challenge, but with a newly invigorated senior team and a bold vision for 15 years, they are working towards a sustainable future that secures the place of the Cathedral at the heart of the Diocese and the centre of the rapidly growing and diverse city. The CFO will have a significant role to play in the development of that agenda. The successful candidate will hold responsibility for all aspects of finance, building on the improvements to systems, reporting and processes that have been embedded over the past four years.

The Cathedral is also growing its commercial activity, and the CFO will take the lead in developing the structures and processes to ensure timely and accurate reporting, compliant with relevant Charity and tax regulations.

The Role:

• Strategic Leadership:  Work in partnership with the Chief Operating Officer and Exec to formulate the future strategic direction and supporting tactical initiatives

In addition, a key element of the role will be leading and influencing others to continue to innovate and improve their financial processes.

Why Join Peterborough Cathedral?

• Impactful Work: Play a central role in developing and delivering financial plans as well as leading the financial underpinning of new projects and opportunities.
• Supportive Culture: Join a collaborative team that values innovation and continuous improvement.
• Great Benefits: Competitive salary, attractive annual leave and flexible working arrangements, including hybrid working.

Ready to Make a Difference? If you have the drive, passion, and enthusiasm to help them to achieve their mission and vision, we want to hear from you!

Lead EPIC Restart Foundation and empower lives to restart positively after gambling harm.

Applications close at: 9 a.m. Monday 13th January 2025

Location: Remote (with occasional UK-wide travel)

About EPIC Restart Foundation

EPIC Restart Foundation is a charity grounded in the lived experience of gambling harm. We deliver transformational programmes that change lives.

Our team collaborates closely with individuals in recovery to create innovative programmes. These empower people across the UK to rebuild their lives following gambling harm. We build awareness of recovery support pathways and work to dismantle the stigma surrounding gambling addiction.

We address a crucial gap in long-term recovery support. Our approach is respected for its empowerment and focus on lived experience. The EPIC Restart Community is an inspiring online network offering community, learning, and connection. Our intensive programmes, Restarting Lives and Woman.Empowered, provide life-changing events, personal development, and recovery coaching.

Our team has grown significantly in recent years. We’ve directly supported over 600 individuals since our pilot launch in May 2021. Additionally, we’ve reached over 20,000 people through online and outreach activities. We’re embarking on a new two-year strategy aimed at becoming a Centre for Excellence in gambling harm recovery. We deliver transformational programmes with measurable impacts and influence stakeholders to increase support for those in recovery.

We currently have a strong financial position, but funding methods are set to change significantly. In 2025, the Government will introduce a statutory levy on gambling operators. Funds will be distributed to commissioners for research, prevention, and treatment grants. This process is still developing, so our path remains uncertain. However, we are optimistic and see growth potential as feedback on our work has been positive.

Who we are looking for

During a period of transformation, we need an experienced leader adept at developing relationships with commissioners. This could stem from the gambling harm sector or other relevant fields like addiction, homelessness, domestic abuse, or mental health.

Our Chief Executive must lead change effectively through ambiguity. Over 70% of our staff and volunteers have a lived connection to gambling harm, so it is vital that you can lead with empathy, kindness, and compassion, particularly during this time of transition.

As the new CEO, you will have:

• Excellent financial and interpersonal skills
• A stellar track record in delivering organisational development and growth
• Experience of significant income generation and robust financial management.
• Strategic vision.

You must be willing to support people in recovery, be sensitive to their needs and be committed to keeping people safe whilst making a difference.

We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We encourage all individuals to apply, particularly those with a personal connection to gambling harm, though this is not a requirement.

Equal Opportunities

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.

We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do. During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and be at your best.
