Bath Somerset, United Kingdom HorseWorld Full time

HorseWorld provides a lifeline for horses, ponies and donkeys and opportunities for young people, by rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming abandoned and mistreated equines, and empowering disadvantaged young people to discover their potential. Founded in 1952, HorseWorld Trust (formerly The Friends of Bristol Horses Society) has transformed the lives of thousands of equines. Our farm (circa 170 acres) is located between Bristol and Bath and today we are responsible for over 300 equines, including over 100 on-site. We also run our ground-breaking Discovery programme which unites some of our abandoned and mistreated horses with disadvantaged young people from all walks of life. Founded in 2007, Discovery is now a well-established alternative learning provider and is seen as one of the leading equine-assisted learning programmes, currently working with over 250 students each year to achieve remarkable results. We are looking for an inspirational leader to grow HorseWorld Trust's reach and impact by increasing our ability to care for horses in need and increasing the number of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds that we support. Working closely with a highly engaged and supportive Board of Trustees, our new Chief Executive will build on our success to date and ensure we can realise our future ambitions, including supporting our income growth. The CEO will provide the leadership and resources for our passionate team, enabling them to achieve the best in their roles, as well as providing visible and supportive leadership externally with our key stakeholders and funders.
We are looking for an ambitious, solutions focused and commercially minded individual with experience of:

  • Effective leadership of organisational-wide growth at CEO or senior Director level
  • Inspiring, developing and leading a highly committed team
  • Building solid relationships and credibility with a broad range of stakeholders, including partners and funders
  • Working seamlessly between strategic and operational requirements

A passion for supporting the needs of disadvantaged young people and a keen interest in animal welfare, particularly saving the lives of abandoned, neglected and mistreated horses, ponies and donkeys is essential.
