THE ROLE
We are seeking an inspirational and experienced leader to become the next Chief Executive of Mind CHWF, shape the senior management team and lead the organisation through the next era of growth and development. You will capitalise on the organisation’s City connections and make the most of opportunities for growth and support from grass roots fundraising and at a sub-regional level. You will lead a committed and talented team to ensure that services are of the highest quality and that the organisation remains financially sustainable for the future. Working with an engaged and cohesive board, you will help the organisation secure a confident and creative future.
This role requires an experienced and insightful leader who understands the context surrounding mental health services. You do not need a background in mental health, but an appreciation of the needs of diverse or vulnerable client groups will be critical. A capable, credible and confident leader and ambassador, you will have outstanding communication and interpersonal skills and will be someone who uses a motivational leadership style and emotional intelligence to build support. With a strong personal commitment to social justice, you will recognise the opportunity that this role offers to change lives within a particularly vibrant, diverse and rapidly changing part of London.
