Following a review of our senior management team function, we are now seeking to recruit a dedicated and highly organised senior management professional to support the Charity during an exciting time of significant change and opportunity.

In this new post, you will work very closely with the CEO and have direct responsibility for a number of key departments, take on additional functional responsibilities across the organisation, plus an external role in support of the CEO.
