Our client is the UK’s leading charity for people with a mark, scar or condition that makes them look different. Our vision is a future where everyone with a visible difference or disfigurement has the confidence, support and opportunity to lead the lives they want. 

People with visible differences often face challenges being accepted in different areas of their lives – from school through to relationships and the workplace. 49% of adults with visible differences have experienced hostile behaviour and almost half of young people who have a visible difference have been bullied at school. We know that people with visible differences are vulnerable to isolation, loneliness, social anxiety and low self-esteem. 

The charity is here for everyone with a scar, mark or condition on their face or body. We provide life-changing mental health, wellbeing and skin camouflage services. We work to transform understanding and acceptance of visible difference, and campaign to reduce prejudice and discrimination.

We are looking to appoint a passionate and ambitious leader who brings: 

• Experience as a senior charity leader, preferably within the health and wellbeing sector. 
• Experience of either leading the design, transformation and growth of frontline services or of leading on income generation.
