Age UK Ealing is looking to recruit a permanent Chief Executive to lead the organisation as it develops and implements a new forward-looking three year strategy. You will be joining Age UK Ealing (AUKE) at an exciting time – the charity has recently completed a reorganisation and is now looking to expand its income generating activities and collaboration with other local organisations to increase positive impact for our beneficiaries.
The successful candidate must have proven experience of working as an executive manager at both strategic and operational levels. The focus of this role is to provide leadership, organisational growth and sustainability. It would be suited to someone who has experience of networking, acting as an ambassador for a large organisation, fundraising and sound commercial acumen.
You will have outstanding leadership skills, with a passion for empowering others and a strong track record of working in partnership with a diverse range of stakeholders, including service users, staff, volunteers, funders, politicians, local businesses and the trustees of the charity. You will have an aptitude for fundraising, and will be able to demonstrate success in securing local authority grants as well as in building and maintaining funding relationships with trusts, corporate organisations and individual donors. Quality, innovation and new ways of working will be at the heart of what you aim to achieve.
Age UK Ealing has highly motivated staff and volunteer teams with enthusiasm for supporting older people through our services, and an experienced, diverse board of trustees. The successful candidate will build confidence among others and be experienced in leading change within a complex organisational and external environment. You must have a strong empathy for older people, their families and carers and place the needs of service users at the centre of everything you do. A deep understanding of the challenges facing charitable organisations is critical for success. Experience in the charity sector is not essential. However, where it does not exist, a drive to learn and understand the sector quickly is required.
