Chief Executive Officer

We are seeking an experienced and dedicated CEO to lead the organisation to further growth, with the knowledge to help us build the right processes and structure as that growth is realised.  As a charity that has been serving the local area for nearly 40 years, we recognise how important maintaining a positive reputation is, and how building relationships with local businesses can support us.  Building those relationships and securing additional funding streams is a key part of this role.

Our service users are incredibly important to us, and it is essential the voices of our parents, children, and young adults are heard and incorporated into all aspects of planning, and that you advocate for them when working with local agencies and other partners.  With this in mind, the understanding of the difficulties faced by disabled people that comes with lived experience is highly desirable for the role.  Experience in children’s, family, or health services is also desirable.

Our Board of Trustees collectively have extensive experience in senior leadership, finance, marketing, and family health, and they will support you in your role.  The amazing staff at Umbrella are enthusiastic and repeatedly go above and beyond to deliver the best service possible.
