Chief Executive
The Lucy Faithfull Foundation
Hybrid, with a minimum of 2 days a week in either the Epsom or Bromsgrove Office
c£95,000 per annum
For more than 30 years Lucy Faithfull Foundation has been working to protect children from sexual abuse. We have come a long way over this time and have achieved a great deal. We are unapologetically proud of our work with people who might cause harm and we have an excellent track record of using our understanding of the behaviour of people who abuse to develop and deliver innovative services that keep children safe.
Our vision is a world in which children can live free from sexual harm, and its mission focuses on preventing abuse before it happens, protecting children, and supporting those affected by abuse and our work is vital because too many children grow up experiencing some form of sexual abuse.
Founded out of a commitment to child protection and named after its pioneering founder, Baroness Lucy Faithfull, the charity combines direct support services with leadership in prevention, research and influencing efforts to keep children safe now and in the future.
Chief Executive
We are seeking an exceptional, courageous and values-driven Chief Executive Officer to lead the Lucy Faithfull Foundation into its next chapter of impact and influence.
This is more than a CEO position. It is a rare opportunity to lead a nationally respected, pioneering charity at the forefront of prevention, safeguarding and systems change — protecting children and strengthening communities.
The CEO will provide outstanding strategic leadership, operational excellence, and inspirational direction to ensure the Foundation continues to deliver high-quality, safe and evidence-based services while strengthening its voice nationally.
If you are a principled, strategic and inspirational leader ready to shape the future of a mission-driven charity, we would welcome your interest.
