Charity/foundation experience is essential
Charity/foundation experience is essential
An independent charitable foundation, established to strengthen communities, develop future leaders and promote social cohesion across the UK, is seeking a CEO to lead its next stage of development. Delivered through three pillars, community engagement, education/leadership development, and an innovation and partnership hub, the Foundation is entirely funded by its Founder and is not a fundraising role.
The CEO will work closely with the Founder and Board of Trustees, translating the founding vision into measurable impact while maintaining the highest standards of governance, safeguarding and financial stewardship.
