As NCT celebrates its 70th anniversary, we are looking for an exceptional Chief Executive to lead one of the UK's best-known and most trusted charities into its next chapter.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of parents turn to NCT for trusted information, practical support and community. At a time when perinatal services are under increasing pressure, trusted, evidence-based support has never mattered more. Our vision is simple: a society where everyone who becomes a parent feels confident, connected and safe.
This is a pivotal moment for the charity. We are approaching the final phase of our For Every Parent strategy and beginning to shape what comes next. The successful candidate will work with our Board, colleagues, our wider NCT community and partners to define NCT’s future direction while strengthening our impact, influence and long-term sustainability.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are seeking an inspiring, values-led leader who combines strategic ambition with emotional intelligence, commercial judgement and a genuine commitment to social purpose. You may come from the charity, health, public, membership or commercial sectors. What matters most is your ability to lead organisational transformation, build trusted relationships and deliver lasting impact.
You will bring significant executive leadership experience from an organisation of comparable scale and complexity, together with a strong track record of strategic leadership, financial stewardship, partnership development and leading change. You will be a credible ambassador, an inspiring communicator and someone who can unite colleagues, practitioners, peer supporters, volunteers, members and partners behind a shared purpose.
