Job Details

The next Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of our organisation will join us at an exciting time as we look to review the success of our current three-year strategy and look forward to preparing our 10th anniversary celebrations in 2023. Our new CEO will be an experienced and inspiring leader who will scale and sustain the organisation through a blended combination of business development and fundraising work. 

While we are a relatively new charity, we are the global leader for the safeguarding and protection of deaf, hard of hearing and deafened children and young people. Deaf children and young people are three times more likely to experience abuse and exploitation than hearing children. Deaf children experience endemic physical, sexual abuse and neglect. This can’t happen and so at our organisation we’re working to ensure deaf children can be safe and that child protection capabilities are strengthened to be inclusive of the needs of deaf children and their families.

We’ve developed a core model of intervention which is focused on five domains and which aims to ensure deaf children and young people are able to live safely and without fear of abuse; we’ve originated and developed some cutting edge programming and toolkits which we’re now looking to scale; we’ve built incredible partnerships with the likes of the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children, Jersey Overseas Aid, Child Helpline International and more; and we’ve also built a consultancy arm that we are seeking to scale.
