About Our Client
About RNIB
At RNIB, we're here to create a world without barriers for blind and partially people. With around two million people in the UK currently living with sight loss, and that number expected to rise significantly, we believe the time for change is now.
We're looking for a visionary Chief Executive Officer to lead RNIB into its next chapter. This is a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on society and improve the lives of blind and partially sighted people across the UK.
Our Strategy: Seeing Differently
We're asking society to see sight loss differently. Our goals include:
* Changing public perceptions and behaviours to expect full participation from blind and partially sighted people.
* Making accessibility the default in design, services, and environments.
* Campaigning for better services, inclusive education, and employment opportunities.
* Providing high quality and innovative services to support blind and partially sighted people.
* Growing public support through advocacy, volunteering, and fundraising.
By 2050, 500 people a day could begin to lose their sight. The need for action has never been greater.
Job Description
As CEO, you'll work closely with the Board of Trustees and develop and lead a high-performing Executive Leadership Team. You'll be responsible for:
* Championing RNIB's 10-year strategy to ensure every person with sight loss can live the life they want to lead.
* Driving innovation, organisational resilience and long-term stability.
* Grow income through commercial ventures, partnerships, philanthropy and maximising customer experience.
* Be a powerful advocate for the sight loss community, influencing public policy and public perception.
* Fostering a high-performing, inclusive, and values-driven culture, embedding lived experience at the heart of RNIB.
* Ensuring robust governance, risk management, and financial stewardship.
* Leading cultural transformation and organisational change.
The Successful Applicant
We're seeking a dynamic, values-led leader who brings:
* Proven executive leadership experience in complex, high-profile environments.
* A track record of delivering strategic change and organisational growth.
* Strong advocacy and stakeholder engagement capability.
* Experience working with non-executive boards and leading transformation.
* Commercial acumen and proven capability in growing income through diverse streams.
* A deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and lived experience.
What's on Offer
Why Join RNIB?
* Lead a nationally recognised organisation with a powerful mission.
* Work with passionate teams and dedicated volunteers.
* Influence real change in public policy, accessibility, and inclusion.
* Be part of a future where sight loss is no barrier to opportunity.
