Modern slavery is one of the greatest social injustices of our times. Today, over 40 million people around the world are suffering forced labour, sexual exploitation, domestic servitude and forced marriage. It is a global industry, with over $150 billion made each year from exploiting human beings, making it the second largest criminal activity. Human trafficking is both a domestic and an international issue, with exploitation present in countries at all stages of economic development.
Founded in 2008 and committed to ending modern slavery, Hope for Justice has grown into a global charity, working across 5 continents, 10 countries and 32 locations, in the Global North and Global South. It is a private limited company by guarantee, as well as a registered charity, with a Board of Directors/ Trustees that consists of eight Trustees, all of whom, including the chair, are non-executive directors and unpaid.
Hope for Justice has been through a period of significant growth and change since its creation and will continue to evolve as it responds to the political, economic and social environments in which it operates. In response to this it is currently appointing multiple new Trustees.
The key responsibilities of all the Trustees will be to support and develop the Board’s capacity to oversee organisational change, bringing expertise in one or multiple of the following areas: policy, marketing and fundraising, funding and finance and operational risk. In this regard, there is particular emphasis on considering the changing landscape of international development, growing awareness of modern slavery, the risks within the funding environment and the diversification and improvement in performance of the Charity.
Candidates will be senior leaders in their own field. They will be creative with an entrepreneurial approach and be excited to support and develop the values and corporate responsibility of Hope for Justice. The Charity is particularly keen to consider candidates who will help to strengthen the diversity of the Board to better reflect that of the Charity and the global environments in which it works. They will have an understanding of the inherent challenges around profitability and organisational effectiveness in high performing organisations. Though not essential, prior non-executive director experience will be valuable. Experience of working in an international, especially developing country, environment will be equally valuable.

Friends of the Earth stands with anyone who cares about the world we live in and who seeks a just transformation to a net zero carbon future. Over the past 51 years, Friends of the Earth has led many powerful campaigns that have resulted in substantive change protecting the environment. In the UK, we successfully campaigned for the world's first climate change law, the Climate Change Act 2008, which paved the way for similar legislation around the world. Our combined strength has meant we have been able to push back against drilling for fossil fuels, and most recently we've successfully taken the government to court over its Net Zero Strategy.
We are at an exciting new time for Friends of the Earth. Our strategy puts justice at the centre. It recognises that there is only one path ahead and that is a transformation of our society and regeneration of our natural environment. This must be done with those who are most at risk - either from current and future impacts of climate change or from not being able to participate in and benefit from the transformation - at the heart of what we do.

This is an exciting time for a dynamic CEO to lead the Chilterns MS Centre into its next chapter. This period of growth and expansion into new services will need the CEO to confidently navigate the Charity into new areas, exercise a broad range of management and leadership skills and crucially to guide and balance growth in income and investment in additional resources.
The Chilterns MS Centre, based near Wendover in Buckinghamshire, is a well established and progressive charity devoted to supporting people affected by Multiple Sclerosis for the past 37 years. The organisation is moving into a new phase, extending support and therapies to a far wider range of neurological conditions including Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke. Utilising the facilities and staff expertise to a wider reach of beneficiaries is a key foundation of the Centre’s strategy to build long term resilience, and boost the positive impact for those affected by the challenges of neurological conditions.
The Centre’s Board of Trustees has governance oversight, and the CEO must manage the interface between the leadership team and the Trustees. A collaborative style coupled with a proactive operational can-do attitude are prerequisites.
Moving into a “multi-condition” organisation, as the Centre’s figurehead, you will be working in co-operation with the leadership team and especially the Head of Fundraising and Head of Integrated Clinical Services promoting the virtues of the Centre to our local and regional communities, businesses and key stakeholders; helping to build long term strategic relationships to secure both operational and income security.
Please see the attached CEO Recruitment Pack for more details of the role and how to apply.

Founded in 1795, Norwood is the oldest Jewish charity in the UK. Each year we support over 2,500 people - from children and families facing challenges in their lives due to additional educational needs, mental health or severe wellbeing issues, to anyone with learning disabilities or autism. Norwood is highly ambitious, committed to delivering high quality services that fully meet the evolving needs of the Jewish community. The Trustee Board and executive management team recently completed a fundamental refresh of the charity’s long term strategic aims and objectives with respect to future service provision.
We now seek to further strengthen the Trustee Board by the addition of two new Trustees with contemporary, specialist experience in one of the following areas:
• Supported Living services
• Children and Family services
As an inclusive charity our ambition is to recruit and work with diverse talents. We especially welcome applications from candidates living with a disability, or with close experience of living with disabilities. The Norwood Trustee role is highly rewarding, and provides the opportunity to make an important and valuable contribution to the charity’s future, and to the community.
Please note that the deadline for applications is 19th August and interviews will be conducted in late August / early September.
