Ready to make a real difference in Derbyshire communities?
Our client is seeking a strategic and compassionate Chief Executive Officer to lead the organisation into their next phase of development. With over 40 years of impact and a team of 85 staff and 230 volunteers supporting around 3,000 people annually, our client plays a vital role in delivering high-quality care and community services across the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales.
This is a rare opportunity to guide a respected, values-led organisation through a pivotal period - building on its strong foundations while shaping future strategy, growing services, and ensuring even more people live safer, more connected, and fulfilling lives.
About Their Organisation
Our client is a long-established charity that helps people live independently and thrive within their communities. From personal care to practical services like transport, befriending, digital inclusion, and hospital discharge support, they respond to real community needs with empathy and creativity.
They are deeply embedded in local life, championing inclusion, resilience, and meaningful social impact. Their services are delivered by a passionate team of professionals and volunteers committed to care, empowerment, and flexibility.
About The Role
The Chief Executive Officer will provide visionary leadership and operational oversight, ensuring they deliver high-quality, sustainable services aligned with their values and mission. The postholder will work closely with the Board of Trustees, staff, and external partners to shape strategy, drive best practice, and represent the organisation externally.
With their long-serving CEO stepping down, the charity is seeking a leader with strong values, organisational leadership experience, and a solid understanding of care or community services. The successful candidate will be able to lead through complexity and change, while keeping people and community impact at the centre of every decision.
