Headway Norfolk and Waveney was founded in 1992, beginning as a small group of volunteers working in the coastal community of Gorleston. Since registering as a charity in 1994 they have grown significantly and today, the charity helps hundreds of clients, family, friends and carers each year across the entire region of Norfolk and Waveney.


Over the past three years, Headway Norfolk and Waveney has undergone a period of change and modernisation, increasing the number of day centres from 3 to 7, increasing staffing and income and tripling the number of individuals the charity supports. During this period the charity has faced difficult decisions around funding and services that have impacted all charities in recent years.


They are now looking for an exceptional CEO to shepherd the organisation into the future as they look to build upon the change and improvements of recent years. The next CEO will need to be comfortable in setting, developing and delivering a bold and ambitious new strategy in a challenging funding environment, helping Headway Norfolk and Waveney to reach more people than ever before.


Key Objectives for the role:

  • Provide strategic vision and leadership to the operation and development of Headway Norfolk and Waveney within the direction set by the Board of Trustees.
  • Ensure that the charitable purposes of Headway Norfolk and Waveney are followed and that it delivers the charitable benefit set out in the Headway Norfolk and Waveney strategy.
  • Take overall responsibility for Headway Norfolk and Waveney’s management and administration within the governance and accountability frameworks established by the Board of Trustees.
  • Work with the Chair to enable the Trustees to fulfil their duties and legal and other responsibilities for the proper governance of Headway Norfolk and Waveney.
  • Ensure that the Board receives advice, recommendations and information in an effective, thorough and timely manner.


Experience, Skills and Qualifications:

Substantial experience of working at both management and strategic level, ideally within the charitable sector to include:

  • Proven experience of implementing an organisation’s strategic vision.
  • Experience of managing a substantial budget.
  • Experience of managing staff and implementing management systems and procedures.
  • Writing management reports and reporting to governance bodies either in writing or verbally.
  • Experience of relationship building and profile raising.
  • Experience of working with bodies responsible for corporate governance.
  • Ability to analyse systems and procedures and implement effective changes as necessary.
  • Good understanding of company and charity law would be desirable.


This is a unique opportunity to lead a dynamic and impactful organisation that is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those they serve. As CEO, you will have the chance to shape the strategic direction, inspire a passionate team, and drive meaningful change in the community.


If you are a visionary leader with a deep commitment to the mission and a track record of success in the nonprofit sector, we would be thrilled to hear from you.


Join Headway Norfolk and Waveney in their mission to empower brain injury survivors and their families and help them to create a brighter future for all.
