A charity that provides specialised support to adults with sensory impairments, disabilities, and long-term health conditions is looking to appoint a commercially minded, strategic and ambitious leader as its next Chief Executive Officer.
This is not a traditional charity CEO role. They are looking for someone who can combine a strong sense of purpose with commercial awareness - someone who can build on the organisation's strong local reputation, grow and develop services, strengthen partnerships, and help create income streams that move the charity away from relying too heavily on grants and commissioned tenders.
The role may suit an existing CEO of a smaller organisation, a senior leader looking for a first Chief Executive position, or someone from the public, health, social care, housing, education, membership or commercial sectors who can bring relevant transferable experience in business development, service growth, stakeholder engagement and organisational leadership.
About our client
They exist for one reason: to make sure that a sensory impairment, disability or long-term health condition does not stop anyone from living a full and connected life.
They work with people across South Tyneside and Gateshead to help them stay informed, feel empowered and build the resilience to deal with whatever life brings. Behind this work is a team of professionals and people with lived experience of disability and sensory loss. They do not just understand the needs of the community they support - for many of them, those experiences are personal.
Their vision is for disabled people and those with sensory loss across the region to feel informed, empowered and resilient.
The Opportunity
The organisation now needs someone with a stronger commercial and business focus - someone who can help lead its next phase of development by broadening its reach, expanding services and building a more diverse and sustainable income base.
A key priority for the next CEO will be to reduce reliance on grants and tendered income by developing other revenue streams, increasing unrestricted income and identifying opportunities for growth. This means they are looking for someone who is outward-facing, entrepreneurial and confident in spotting opportunities, building relationships and turning ideas into action.
This is a genuine opportunity to shape the future of a well-regarded organisation with strong local roots, a clear purpose and real potential for further development.
The Role
As Chief Executive, you will provide overall strategic and operational leadership, working closely with the Board of Trustees to deliver the organisation's vision, business plan and long-term sustainability.
You will lead the organisation externally with commissioners, funders, partners, businesses and other stakeholders, while also ensuring that services remain high quality, responsive and financially sustainable.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the charity as its senior representative and ambassador, building strong external relationships and raising the organisation's profile
Work with the Board to shape and deliver strategy, business planning and long-term sustainability
Drive service development and identify opportunities to grow and expand reach and impact
Develop and diversify income streams, with a strong emphasis on reducing reliance on grants and tenders
Oversee service delivery, operations and organisational performance
Lead and develop staff, volunteers and senior managers
Ensure effective financial management, governance, compliance and risk management
About You
This role is likely to suit someone who enjoys building organisations, growing services, developing new income opportunities and working externally as well as internally. You will understand how to balance mission with sustainability and will be motivated by the chance to lead an organisation that is ambitious about both its impact and its future.
Essential experience
Senior leadership experience in a charity, not-for-profit or other relevant organisation, or in a comparable leadership role with clearly transferable experience
Partnership development and external stakeholder management
Business planning, service development and organisational growth
Income generation, fundraising, contract management or commercial development
Financial management, including budgeting and delivery against income and cost targets
Leading and developing staff and teams
Governance, risk management and implementing effective controls
Desirable experience
Experience or knowledge of disability, sensory support, health, social care or community services
Experience of leading organisational change
Essential skills and attributes
Strategic and commercially aware
Strong leadership and relationship-building skills
A confident communicator who can influence and inspire confidence
Able to identify opportunities and turn them into practical action
Inclusive, resilient and collaborative in approach
Understanding of, or empathy with, the people and communities SAM supports
