Our charity is at a pivotal point in its journey, and we are searching for an inspiring CEO to take us forward. We are a medium-sized charity dedicated to providing care and support for those living with brain injury and their carers in Essex and we are looking for a dynamic individual who can lead with passion, strategy, and heart.

Why Join Us?

  • Be the Voice of Change: You will represent us on a variety of platforms, inspiring supporters and partners to join our mission.

What We Are Looking For:

  • A Proven Leader: You will have successfully led organisations or teams, ideally in the charity sector, and have a strong track record of driving growth and impact.
  • Strategic Visionary: You have a forward-thinking mind-set, able to craft and deliver a compelling strategy that ensures sustainability and growth.
  • Exceptional Communicator: You will be as comfortable in the boardroom as you are speaking at events, engaging supporters, and advocating for our cause.
  • Fundraising and Financial Acumen: You know how to secure funding, manage budgets, and develop diverse income streams.
  • Empathetic and Passionate: You genuinely care about our mission and the people we serve. Your leadership is built on empathy, inclusivity, and integrity.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead and Inspire: Guide our organisation, motivating staff, volunteers, and stakeholders to work towards our shared vision.
  • Build Partnerships: Develop strong relationships with donors, corporate partners, and health and social care to secure financial support and raise awareness.
