London South Bank University Students’ Union is on a mission to totally transform the way a students’ union works in a modern university. We are now seeking an outstanding professional leader to join the organisation as Chief Executive to take forward its future development, operational delivery and management across a growing team of staff and volunteers.

About the role

LSBSU is the recognised representative body of 18,000 students at London South Bank University. Many of our students come from less privileged backgrounds and have had to overcome significant barriers in life simply to get to university.

South Bank students have high expectations and ambitions for themselves but lead complex lives where they are faced with the pressures of trying to balance their studies with work and juggling their lives at home. Many don’t identify primarily as students, but instead as carers, nurses, engineers, parents, designers, workers, entrepreneurs, apprentices, last chance learners, and Londoners.

In recent times, realising that much of our activity was not engaging significant parts of our student population, we have taken a long hard look at ourselves. We know that we can do so much more for our students.

Following a period of transition, we have set out an ambitious vision for 2025 that will take us on a journey of improvement and innovation. Our goal is to be a truly transformative students’ union that improves the lives of students on every course and beyond at London South Bank University. We have set a plan for year one, and goals for year five, but how we get there could take many routes and we will need you as CEO to steer that journey.

This is a brilliant opportunity to support an SU which is rebuilding itself from the ground up. We have invested heavily in our transformation, started to build a more inclusive and equitable workplace, and we have significant changes to governance in the pipeline for 2021.

As CEO, you will have the chance to bring people into the senior team and work collaboratively with our Officers, Board and University partner to establish the best way to achieve our goals for 2025.

Who we're looking for

Our ideal Chief Executive will be able to provide dynamic leadership, be motivated to change students’ lives and be passionate about building an organisation that is relevant and responsive to those it seeks to serve.

You need to have strong communication skills, emotional intelligence and an ability to build relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders. It is essential that you are committed to role modelling inclusive behaviours, building equity and removing the systemic barriers that exist to hold our students back.

We are actively looking to diversify our Trustee board and leadership team as this has not been as diverse as our student population in the past. We are especially interested to hear from candidates from BAME communities and/or candidates that have overcome other significant barriers in their lives.

If you are inspired by the job, we highly recommend you contact Peridot for an informal discussion and background on the role.

Since 2004 Carers Bucks and Carers MK have been the main providers of support services to unpaid family carers in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.

We are now seeking a new CEO to provide strong and inspirational leadership for the continued development of our organisation.

Ayrshire Hospice has served the people of Ayrshire and Arran for the past 30 years. It has provided exceptional care for anyone from the age of 16 and upwards who is suffering from a life-limiting illness. Their families are also not forgotten. There is a range of services that support their care and well being. The Hospice is much loved and valued within its community. 

Having been without a CEO for the past year, the Board and senior management team have now set the vision for the future and are ready for a new CEO to be appointed to deliver all the organisational goals and drive the charity forward. A centrepiece of the strategy is a proposed £12m capital build programme to ensure the Hospice continues to provide the best possible patient experience in the best available facilities. After drawing on reserves that have been designated for this project, the CEO will require to ensure at least a further £6m is secured.

You will need to have extensive senior leadership experience, although not necessarily in a CEO role. Perhaps this is the next logical step up for you.  You will, however, need to have experience of managing a complex and diverse, multi-million-pound organisation in a highly regulated environment. You should have deep knowledge of good governance and experience of reporting into a Board of Management. It goes without saying that your business and financial management acumen must be second to none. In addition, you will need to evidence strong stakeholder management skills and be a worthy ambassador for such a highly respected organisation that frequently has a public spotlight on it. 

If this sounds like you and you feel you are strongly aligned with the vision, mission and values of Ayrshire Hospice, we’d like to hear from you.

This is an incredibly unique opportunity to help reinvent an organisation that has an exciting future ahead.
