Each year, 12,000 young people leave the care system, losing almost all the support they once had access to. Within two years, one-third of these young people become homeless. Empower them to confidently transition into independent living by joining Settle as Chief Executive.

Applications close at: 9 a.m. Monday 18th November 2024.

Location: Wapping, London

About Settle

Settle is an award-winning charity that breaks this cycle by supporting care-experienced young people as they move into their first home, helping them to confidently transition into independent living and thrive.

Our vision is for a 21st-century Britain where no young person is homeless, and all young people are given a fair chance to succeed.

We make this vision a reality by providing weekly coaching sessions that support young people in sustaining a tenancy, developing practical life skills and thriving as independent adults.

Our approach is holistic, flexible, and tailored to an individual’s changing needs – ultimately offering a consistent, transformative relationship that a young person can rely on.

All of our work is underpinned by our core values, and our programme has an annual success rate of 95%-100% — demonstrating that by focusing on early intervention and empowering care-experienced young people, we tackle a leading cause of youth homelessness before it happens.

About the role

This will be a significant appointment for us, as our current CEO and co-founder is moving on after providing us with ten years of incredible leadership.

We are in a strong position as a charity, benefiting from an excellent staff team, a wonderful board of trustees, and a robust financial position.

We are also in the process of developing our next strategy, which we look forward to exploring with you.

Who we are looking for

As our Chief Executive, you will be committed to empowering young people, helping them thrive and ensuring they remain at the heart of everything we do.

It is essential that you are an emotionally intelligent leader who embraces collaborative working and can foster a culture where people feel valued.

With this in mind, experience in building partnerships, influencing stakeholders, and leading growth would be highly advantageous.

We are committed to being an inclusive charity and have invested significant resources to ensure all our staff have a strong understanding of equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging.

However, we recognise that we are currently underrepresented in ethnic diversity. Therefore, we especially encourage leaders from the global majority to consider this opportunity.

We are also aware that leadership within the charity sector at the Chief Executive level is not currently diverse. In response, we are open to supporting first-time Chief Executives in this role, including ensuring a budget is available for professional development.

If you are inspired to help solve youth homelessness for care-experienced young people, we are looking forward to meeting you.
