About Us

Kindred is a vibrant organisation supporting over 800 families of children with complex needs each year.

As CEO, you will lead Kindred with passion and dedication, ensuring our mission of supporting families of children with complex needs remains at the heart of everything we do. You will work closely with our Board of Trustees to develop and implement strategic plans, build strong partnerships, and secure sustainable funding.

  6. Administration: Enable the smooth running of our organisation including leading on the development of online systems.
  7. Public Profile: Represent Kindred in the charity sector and liaise with key stakeholders to support our brand and strategic impact. Maximise technology use to increase our public profile and the impact on the community.
