The Role
We are future focused as an organisation and having recently launched our new strategy, this is an exciting and pivotal time to join our Executive Leadership team.

Experienced at implementing change, your transparent and open style will ensure you are able to build confidence and trust with a wide range of people.
To genuinely address the causes of suicide and self-harm, we must take more practical action to challenge discrimination and injustice, working hand in hand with people affected by both. We want Samaritans to be a welcoming place for our , volunteers and staff and of course those people who use our services and we want Samaritans to be as diverse as the communities we live and work in. Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion is one of the key principles in our new strategy. It will connect with everything we do at Samaritans, guiding the way we work and behave. You must bring a deep and genuine commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.
