Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

We are looking for a dynamic and dedicated CEO to lead the charity into its next, exciting phase of development; helping us to create more magical memories for sick children. We are about to move into a modern new office and celebrate 35 years of Wish granting.

The Wish children and their families are at the centre of all we do as a national Wish charity. The new CEO will have a positive, growth orientated mindset to help the charity develop, build its relationships with supporters, nurture and win corporate partners and motivate the whole team, in order that we can continue to improve our Wish offer. With that in mind, we are looking for someone with very senior manager or executive experience with the knowledge to lead this growth strategically, whilst operationally running the charity. This includes fundraisers working at Head Office (Midlands & South) and remotely in Scotland, North West and North East.

Our Board of Trustees between them have experience in executive leadership, governance, legal, family health, business development, digital marketing, web design and Wish user support.  In addition, our founder Barbara White, OBE, is a trustee. Our small team are passionate about the charity and the work we do. They strive to do all they can to help the wellbeing and confidence of the children we help, and their families, by making their wishes come true.
