As Caudwell Children approaches its 25th anniversary, we now seek an inspirational, ultra-pragmatic and commercially minded CEO to lead from the front and drive our Charity to its next phase of development and beyond

- Can you be the inspiration and conduit internally and externally for creativity and growth?
- Is your drive and ambition for success second to none?

**#JOINTHECHANGE**

We are seeking to partner with a truly exceptional strategic, yet hands-on leader, who brings an outstanding commercial track record that could have been gained from within a range of sectors such as Consumer, Technology, Financial Services, Healthcare/Life Sciences, Social Enterprise, Not for Profit or the broader business world.

A commercial, pragmatic approach is essential in our customer-focused culture; ensuring our stakeholders experience the best customer service and desire to continue to support the Charity long into the future.

**Main Duties & Responsibilities**

After a period of stability during which turnover has been circa £6m per annum, Caudwell Children now aims to focus on exponential growth. In a sector where unfortunately, demand will always outstrip supply, this growth will need to be driven by increasing all income streams whilst maintaining our exceptional high quality of service provision.
