An opportunity for an inspirational CEO to lead a successful charity which Embraces Disability and Empowers the Lives of children, young people and adults with moderate to severe learning difficulties and additional complex needs.

Our client offers a wide range of activities and personal assistants to cater for different age groups and ability levels, all specially designed to add value to the lives of individuals with learning disabilities. They provides services in Solihull, Birmingham and surrounding areas. With a £1.5m turnover and high-quality services, they are big enough to influence but small enough to make things happen. They now need a new CEO to continue the growth and development so they can do more to help vulnerable people.

As CEO, you will have a fantastic opportunity to take the charity further. They have an excellent track record of providing services funded by the local authority, personal budgets and other funding streams and building productive partnerships. With their strong governance structure and reputation, you will have the ideal foundation on which to build for the future. You will be based at their attractive Head Office, at the very heart of their services.

Their aim is to be the foremost provider of services for people living with learning difficulties and arrange of other disabilities. To achieve this, you must set direction, put in place a long-term plan and steer the team to meet objectives while delivering benefit for their members, their carers and the wider community. Strategic vision will be crucial, together with strong communication skills for engaging people. An advocate for them, you will inspire progress and take responsibility for overall leadership and management, including oversight of their finances and upholding high standards of governance all while acting as the charity’s ambassador.

A motivated, passionate and forward-thinking professional, you will have achieved sustained growth for a business or charity before. You have a degree (or equivalent) plus good financial acumen. You also have sound planning skills and keen commercial awareness. Articulate, with great people skills, you will thrive on achieving as part of a team.

About Them: 

Our client makes a difference to over 1200+ children and adults with a learning disability as well as over 1800 parents and carers. It costs £1.5m per year to run their services with more than 200 staff and 100active volunteers. Without this vital funding many would miss out on the chance to do something for themselves and develop as individuals.
