Are you ready to lead a progressive, student-led charity into its next phase of growth and innovation? Our client is seeking a dynamic and values-driven CEO to provide strategic leadership, strong people management, empower student officers, and help them deliver an outstanding experience for their members.
About Them
Our client is an independent education charity led by, and for, students.
They work to support all aspects of student life for the 19,000 plus students studying at the University. Located in a friendly city, with a proud industrial and educational heritage, they are an ambitious and diverse organisation, committed to supporting every student at the University in achieving personal success.
They support students through a variety of services including academic representation, campaigns on issues that matter to them, advice and wellbeing services and supporting student communities. They also host a number of events throughout the year and operate a café and two bars on campus.
About The Role
As CEO, you’ll play a vital role in shaping the strategic future of their organisation. You’ll work closely with the Board of Trustees and student officers to translate strategy into action and ensure they remain responsive to the evolving needs of students.
They're looking for a collaborative and inclusive leader who can build strong partnerships within the SU, across the University, and with external stakeholders. You’ll bring a proven track record of strategic leadership, financial oversight, and organisational development, ideally within a values-led or membership-based environment.
You’ll also lead a talented staff team, foster a high-performing, inclusive culture, and identify new opportunities to diversify their income and extend our impact. Importantly, you’ll be a visible and supportive presence for their officers and staff, helping them to lead with confidence and drive meaningful change.
The successful candidate won’t necessarily need to come from the Higher Education sector, but you must be able to demonstrate a good understanding of the trends and issues that affect our students and sector. You’ll have a good understanding of charity governance, financial management and organisational development.
They offer an inclusive and fun work environment believe passionately in developing their people. They're also committed to ensuring their workforce reflects the diversity of the world and community they're based in. They respect everyone's individual identity and celebrate difference, and encourage applications from all candidates irrespective of background. They'd particularly welcome applications for the role from BAME candidates and those with a disability.
It’s a genuinely exciting time for them and they look forward to receiving your application.
