Inspiring people and communities to age and live well in later life

Age UK Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly is seeking an exceptional Chief Executive to lead one of Cornwall’s most respected charities into its next chapter.

For more than 50 years, we have worked alongside older people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, helping people to remain independent, connected and able to enjoy later life with dignity, purpose and confidence.

Today, we support more than 150,000 people each year through services spanning information and advice, transport, hospital and home support, community wellbeing, social connection and initiatives delivered in partnership with health, care and voluntary sector organisations.

Following the planned retirement of our Chief Executive in March 2027, we are looking for an inspiring, collaborative and values-led leader to build on strong foundations and help shape our future.

The opportunity

Our next Chief Executive will inherit a financially stable organisation with an excellent reputation, committed colleagues and volunteers, strong governance and significant reach across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

But this is also a role with considerable opportunity ahead.

Cornwall has an ageing population and the environment in which health, care and voluntary organisations operate continues to change. We want Age UK Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly to be at the forefront of that change - not simply responding to need, but helping to shape how people experience later life across our communities.

You will work with our Board, colleagues, volunteers and partners to develop our strategy, strengthen and diversify our income, continue to evolve our services and increase our influence across the wider health and care system.

You will also build strong relationships across the Age UK network, ensuring that Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly contributes to and benefits from national learning, policy, collaboration and opportunities.

The leader we are seeking

We are looking for a leader who combines strategic vision with the credibility to guide a complex, service‑delivery organisation.

You will empower people to thrive, build leadership capacity and unite colleagues, volunteers and partners behind a shared purpose. You will be comfortable operating beyond organisational boundaries and developing influential relationships across health and social care, local government, commissioners, funders, businesses, communities and the wider voluntary sector.

Commercial awareness and financial acumen will be essential. You will understand what it takes to lead a sustainable organisation, diversify income and demonstrate the impact and value of our work.

Above all, you will share our belief that later life should be a time of opportunity, and that older people should have independence, choice and a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect them.

This is more than an opportunity to lead a successful charity. It is an opportunity to influence how Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly supports its ageing population and to lead an organisation with the reach, relationships and ambition to make a lasting difference.

About The Glasshouse

The Glasshouse is the UK’s only not-for-profit plant installation and maintenance provider: a distinctive social enterprise where exceptional planting creates meaningful employment and measurable impact. They design, install and care for beautiful, nature-filled spaces for organisations across London, while opening up practical, paid pathways for women in custody or recently released from prison. Clients choose The Glasshouse because the planting is thoughtful, design-led and expertly maintained — and because every contract helps create second chances. 

Why this opportunity has arisen

The Glasshouse is at an exciting stage. They have a distinctive business, a strong social purpose, an established client base and a service that people genuinely value. They now want to build on that foundation. The Glasshouse has plans to grow over the next few years in a sustainable way and this new role will drive commercial growth and develop a more effective sales engine. 

With a new Chief Executive also being appointed, you’ll have support from them, the wider team, and the Founder, particularly around the creative and design side of the work. 

You will need to be confident managing the day-to-day commercial process and in this role you will have the opportunity to make a visible difference to how the business operates: improving sales systems, strengthening customer relationships, winning new business and helping the organisation to grow. Unlike a conventional sales role, the success you help create has a purpose beyond the bottom line.

 What we are looking for: 

 We’re looking for someone smart, capable and enthusiastic about making a small business work better.

The successful candidate will be:

• Highly organised and reliable – able to manage multiple opportunities, maintain attention to detail and ensure deadlines are met.

• Commercially minded – understands customers, budgets and pricing, identifies opportunities and enjoys winning business in a consultative way.

• A strong communicator and writer – able to build confidence with clients and develop clear, persuasive proposals.

• Tech-savvy – comfortable using CRM systems and enthusiastic about technology, automation and AI to improve efficiency.

• Self-motivated and practical – works independently, takes initiative and thrives in a varied, hands-on environment.

• Customer-focused and curious – keen to understand customer needs, motivations and how to deliver an excellent experience.

• Proactive in business development – confident identifying prospects, building networks, securing introductions and creating opportunities.

• Values-driven – motivated by social impact, aligned with The Glasshouse’s mission and committed to delivering sustainable commercial and social outcomes.

The Glasshouse is the UK’s only not-for-profit plant installation and maintenance provider: a distinctive social enterprise where exceptional planting creates meaningful employment and measurable impact.

We design, install and care for beautiful, nature-filled spaces for organisations across London, while opening up practical, paid pathways for women in custody or recently released from prison. Clients choose The Glasshouse because the planting is thoughtful, design-led and expertly maintained — and because every contract helps create second chances. As a Community Interest Company, 100% of their profits go back into impact work, so commercial excellence directly fuels training, employment and support for women with lived experience of prison.

The Glasshouse is now entering an exciting new phase. We have a clear vision and business plan for the next few years, and are strengthening the leadership capacity needed to deliver it. The business has grown strongly, with earned income more than doubling in the last year, and the next chapter is about building on that momentum in a sustainable, well-planned way. With a new Growth Manager joining to strengthen the sales function and greater ownership already developing across the wider team, the opportunity now is to make sure growth is financially sound, operationally deliverable and always aligned with the social impact that sits at the heart of The Glasshouse.

The Glasshouse is looking for a new Chief Executive Officer to work with the Founder and Board to bring this next phase to life. The successful candidate does not need to have been a Chief Executive Officer before, but will have held significant responsibility for the performance of a business, organisation or business unit. They will be commercially strong and purpose-driven, comfortable moving between the strategic view and the operational detail, and able to turn plans, budgets and a sales pipeline into clear priorities and action. Low ego and high standards will matter here: they will be calm, pragmatic and enabling, building trust across the Founder, Board, Growth Manager and wider team, while ensuring that commercial success creates more meaningful opportunities, greater stability and stronger futures for women with lived experience of prison.

To do this role well, the successful candidate will need sound judgement, inspiring leadership skills, commercial confidence and the ability to turn ambition into practical action.

About School of Hard Knocks

School of Hard Knocks (SOHK) is one of the UK’s leading education charities, working in 29 secondary schools across England, Scotland, and Wales. Using rugby as a key delivery tool, we support young people who are struggling to engage in early secondary education - often because of anxiety, low confidence, disrupted home lives, or behavioural challenges rooted in trauma. For many of the children we support, life has already brought more hardship than most adults experience in a lifetime. Our purpose is clear: to help young people facing complex challenges break the cycle and move towards a safer, stronger, more hopeful future.

The SOHK Schools Programme is a two-year intervention working with cohorts of around 20 pupils from Year 7 through to Year 9. Pupils are selected by the school and are typically among the hardest to reach young people. Each week, we deliver half a day of rugby training and classroom sessions built around our 3Cs framework, covering topics such as growth mindset, goal setting, and decision-making, alongside monthly one-to-one sessions with every pupil. The programme’s impact is evaluated by SOHK staff, teachers, parents, and the pupils themselves.

90% of our participants report feeling more confident and more engaged with school after taking part, with long-term effects on attendance, attainment, and life outcomes. Find out more about our Schools Programme.

Since 2023, SOHK has been proud to partner with Impetus, a charity that invests in and supports organisations helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds succeed. This partnership combines investment with strategic and organisational development support, helping to strengthen our impact and set SOHK up for sustainable growth.

We are proud to be delivering long-term programmes that meaningfully reach hundreds of young people each year - but the societal need is vast. Our ambitious four-year strategic plan targets growth, aiming to bring our impactful programme to hundreds more young people each year.

“Despite the usual challenges that every education or sport for development charity faces, School of Hard Knocks really is unique. It is not so much what we deliver at a programme level (which is of course brilliant) but who we are as a team. If you are a values-led leader and love the idea of ‘team’, then School of Hard Knocks is the place for you.”
