Open Age is a UK-based charity dedicated to enhancing the lives of older adults by promoting active, engaged, and socially connected living. We opened in 1993 and operate in west and northwest London. Our wide range of activities and programs support the physical, mental, and social well-being of older people. These include exercise classes, creative workshops, educational courses, and social events that help our members maintain and improve their health, develop new skills, and make new friends.
THE ROLE
Open Age is committed to giving more older adults the support they need to live better by increasing our reach. We are, at heart, a customer service organisation and growing our face-to-face participation will always be a primary objective. However, expanding our online community will give us other opportunities to grow. It can be an introduction for people who want to attend in person but also welcome those unable to join in person. There are also commercial opportunities we can explore. Open Age is beginning this digital transformation, and we hope to use it as a springboard to exponentially grow our customer base.
We are now looking for a CEO who shares our passion for positive ageing and can lead Open Age as we expand our reach. This journey is full of opportunities, and we are eager to build on our previous achievements. We need a strategic leader who can consolidate our traditional base, drive our mission forward and guide our digital journey.
This all takes money. We have a new CRM which will help us evidence our impact. We need a strategic leader, with an entrepreneurial streak, who can consolidate our traditional base, drive our mission forward and guide our digital journey.
We want someone who will bring senior leadership experience in the charitable or not-for-profit sector and has a strong understanding of governance, strategic planning, and diversifying incomes. Ideally, from a service delivery background, you will provide a knowledge of the issues affecting older people and bring a commitment to the positive ageing movement.
