The children leave their families behind and are instead accompanied by teams of medical and non-medical volunteers to help encourage independence and confidence and provide lots of fun. Though Dreamflight holidays last a relatively short time, the benefits for these children are often life-long.

Dreamflight has grown since its inception 38 years ago, with considerable strategic and operational support from our dedicated Trustee board, small but mighty office team and incredible volunteers.

You will be passionate about making a lasting impact on children’s lives and empowering our staff and volunteer teams to thrive.

While remaining sensitive to our successful legacy and mission, you will bring an appetite and vision for growth.

You will be committed to making each of our holidays the best they can be and to supporting more children by providing more and more diverse types of holidays in the future.

You will also be commercially astute with financial management and budgeting experience. Experience in developing successful fundraising strategies would be highly advantageous.

Above all, you will be motivated by our cause and the opportunity to change children’s lives – a collaborative and inclusive leader willing to roll up their sleeves and get ‘stuck in’.
