Chief Executive Officer
Maudsley Charity
Camberwell
c. £125,000
We are a mental health funder based in southeast London. We fund ideas, collaborations and teams that give people most affected by mental illness the best chance to recover and fulfil their potential.
We are a small but growing team (23 staff) with bold ambitions around:
- How we can achieve maximum impact on the improvement of mental health services.
- How we can address issues of discrimination and exclusion in what we fund and how we work.
- How we can generate additional funds to extend our work and build communities of support.
THE ROLE
We’re looking for a leader who possesses a high degree of curiosity and interest in the work we are engaged in and understands the unique context in which we operate. We need an empathetic leader with high emotional intelligence and the insight to understand the challenges experienced by our NHS partner, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, whilst maintaining the role of the Charity as distinct and independent.
We are an inclusive and ambitious charity with an engaged board and a growing team all focused on driving meaningful change in mental health care. We are looking for an outstanding communicator who is comfortable negotiating with key stakeholders, as well as being able to bring an authentic and empowering leadership. They will have a track record of fostering growth and achieving success through a team driven approach. You will also be able to demonstrate you can balance the strategic elements of the role whilst being willing to take a hands-on approach when necessary.
We have a strong commitment to DEI in why, how, and what we fund, and regardless of your background, you must have a genuine understanding of how factors such as racism and poverty impact mental health as well as being able to demonstrate personal commitment to addressing inequity and discrimination.
Our mission is to be a catalyst for change and equity within the NHS and wider mental healthcare system in southeast London and beyond. If this excites you and you are highly motivated to help support us through the next stage of our development and impact, we’d love to hear from you.
