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.

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.
