THE ROLE
This is a really exciting time to join as our next Chief Executive as we look to develop and implement our new organisational strategy (2025 – 2028) and we’re looking for a leader with considerable experience of creating and embedding strategies, and with strong people and relationship management skills to guide us through the next stage of our journey.

Someone who can empower and lead high performing teams and engage effectively with our staff and volunteers and who is a passionate advocate for mental health support and able to engage and influence our key partners and stakeholders at senior levels.
We are ambitious in our aim to increase our reach into communities who are currently less well served in terms of mental health support. We need someone with a strong track record of creating impactful solutions to improve access and take up of services, and of using data to drive decision making to ensure we remain responsive to the needs of our communities while maintaining a clear and focused vision.
You will have strong financial management skills with the ability to manage budgets, knowledge of contract tendering and will bring evidence of working in partnership to find creative approaches to diversifying income streams.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone excited by the opportunity to grow impact and income, ensuring that our efforts are always aligned with our mission to promote wellbeing and recovery.
