Use your strategic leadership skills to serve a small and highly respected charity growing in impact and influence.

The Nehemiah Project provides a home and support for vulnerable men with a history of addiction across a network of 5 houses in South London.

In houses of 6-8 men and nurtured by the support of their peers and the care of dedicated staff our residents go through a 12-week programme reviewing their lives. Our holistic approach enables these men to break the cycle of addiction and offending and provides the life-changing support required to secure a new future. Inspired by the Christian faith we believe that anyone can change their life and this underpins all our work.

From the testimony of many lives transformed we know that our model works. The national average for remaining abstinent for 1 year is 30%, at the Nehemiah Project 74% of our residents remain abstinent. Nearly 50% of released prisoners reoffend within 12 months and for London prisons this figure increases to 60%. At The Nehemiah Project as far as we know only 5% of the men we have worked with in the last 5 years have reoffended. Covid has had a significant effect on The Nehemiah Project but also across the sector and particularly by those working with men released from prison.

We have doubled in scale over the last 7 years. With a model that works and a reputation for excellence in the sector and with a wide range of community leaders we are well positioned to grow in scale and influence.

After a highly successful period as Chief Executive Dr John Patience will retire from his position at Nehemiah later in 2025. We are seeking a successor to build on his good work and join a highly engaged and passionate group of trustees and staff to help lead an organisation that continues to grow in impact and influence.

You will have an enthusiasm for the cause and for seeing lives transformed, a Christian faith, and will bring strategic insight, a natural ability to build strong relationships, excellent communication skills. Experience of working in the not-for-profit sector and knowledge of issues related to addictions, rehabilitation and the criminal justice system are all desirable but not essential.

Please note that this role has an Occupational Requirement to be a committed Christian as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010.

After over 22 years at the helm, our CEO is retiring, and we are looking for his replacement. We are seeking someone with vision, passion, and enthusiasm for delivering stellar wellbeing outcomes, especially for older people. The person will provide strategic leadership and inspire staff, trustees, funders, and other stakeholders to achieve our ambitious goals.
