Overview
Stratford Town Trust plays a crucial role in supporting people who live, work or study in the town.Guided by our values, we do this through the grants that we award to charities and voluntary organisations, and also through our valuable community assets, including our Community Hub, the bandstand, Rother Street Arts House, Stratford upon Avon Local Nature Reserve, Rowley Fields, the Community Orchard and the Guild Chapel.
Our new Chief Executive will join at an exciting time where they will have the opportunity to shape and deliver our next five-year strategic plan. They will lead us forward into our next phase and deliver our vision of creating a vibrant and connected community in Stratford upon Avon.
We are looking for an experienced and visionary leader who recognises the importance of our work and can see clear potential and opportunity to elevate our impact for people and families who live, work and visit Stratford. You will bring a track record of strategic leadership gained in an organisation of at least our size and will be comfortable managing a multimillion-pound budget and diverse asset portfolio.
You will work with a dedicated Board and highly motivated team and will bring strategic leadership, negotiating and influencing skills, with the ability to be externally facing whilst actively leading, supporting and guiding a capable team internally. Your expert stakeholder skills will be invaluable in helping us to realise our ambitions.
You do not need to come from a grant making background, although an understanding of how to deliver social impact in a community such as ours would be particularly valuable in this role. If you feel you bring the skills and experience, we are looking for and share, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
