About Dreamflight
Dreamflight is an independent UK charity which provides amazing holidays for children with a serious illness or disability.
Since 1987, we have taken over 6,500 children on their holiday of a lifetime to Orlando and, in recent years, have expanded to also offer exciting activity breaks in the UK.
The children leave their families behind and are instead accompanied by teams of medical and non-medical volunteers to help encourage independence and confidence and provide lots of fun. Though Dreamflight holidays last a relatively short time, the benefits for these children are often life-long.
Dreamflight has grown since its inception 38 years ago, with considerable strategic and operational support from our dedicated Trustee board, small but mighty office team and incredible volunteers.
About the role
With the current CEO stepping down after 11 years and with exciting plans to develop our offer further in future, we are now looking for a new Chief Executive to lead us into the next phase of growth and strategic development.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking an outstanding people leader with a successful senior leadership track record in a relevant organisation of a similar scale. Experience leading teams and working with and galvanising volunteers across the UK and internationally would be an advantage.
As a visible and credible ambassador for the charity, you will represent the organisation with confidence and authenticity to a wide range of stakeholders, from our committed volunteer base to fundraisers and corporate partners to the young people we support.
You will be passionate about making a lasting impact on children’s lives and empowering our staff and volunteer teams to thrive.
While remaining sensitive to our successful legacy and mission, you will bring an appetite and vision for growth.
You will be committed to making each of our holidays the best they can be and to supporting more children by providing more and more diverse types of holidays in the future.
You will also be commercially astute with financial management and budgeting experience. Experience in developing successful fundraising strategies would be highly advantageous.
Above all, you will be motivated by our cause and the opportunity to change children’s lives – a collaborative and inclusive leader willing to roll up their sleeves and get ‘stuck in’.
