Who we are.

Community Transport has been working in local communities since 1964, helping to transform lives and build better communities.

About the role.

As Chief Executive and Finance Officer (CEFO), you will provide strategic leadership, oversight, and governance for the entire organisation. Reporting to the Chair of Trustees, this combined role will ensure high leadership in charity compliance, meet the needs of the services across transportation and retail, and be accountable for all financial aspects across the organisation.

The CEFO will be responsible for auditing, reviewing monthly management accounts, planning the business annually, budget setting, financial analysis, trajectory tracking, strategy development, and delivering the strategy and key objectives agreed upon with the Chair of Trustees annually.

Focusing on Community Transport's mission, vision, and values, you will empower and motivate a skilled and high-performing staff and senior management team and foster external partnerships to enhance services. The CEFO will also manage organisational assets, implement marketing strategies, and cultivate a positive workplace culture for staff and volunteers.

Who we are looking for.

We are looking for a dynamic and collaborative leader with a track record of success in senior leadership within the non-profit or social impact sector in an organisation of similar scale and complexity. You will be ambitious and keen to use your strategic vision to translate passion into measurable impact and ultimately ensure the charity succeeds in the future.

You will have demonstrable experience in developing strategies, target-orientated plans and policies and controls that have delivered long-term financial sustainability, value for money, commercial acumen, and clear ambition for an organisation.

You will also have strong financial acumen alongside a proven track record in change management and transformation, as well as experience in strategic charity management, governance, and business growth.

Critically, you will be able to take people and teams with you on the journey through a supportive and approachable leadership style.
