Charity chief officer jobs
This is a key role driving the delivery of the Education Programme of a leading mental health charity focused on supporting the systems around children and young people.

The role would suit someone with a driven interest in ensuring our work is as impactful as possible, someone who is a ‘doer’ and a broker of relationships, with strong interpersonal skills to work effectively with a wide range of people including clinicians and those with lived experience.

-
Ensure that considerations of equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility are incorporated meaningfully across the Education programme delivery.
-

-
Support CWT’s Fundraising team to identify potential funding opportunities within the Education programme, and at times support bid development by developing viable project proposals swiftly.
-
Develop and maintain a strategic overview of ‘the Education landscape’ so as to:
-
advise the CEO and Head of Programmes of key developments that will help shape the Education programme’s future direction (alongside freelance experts who are further embedded into specific areas within education), and
-
to represent the Trust externally and developing our reach, impact and credibility in new areas, so as to help CWT achieve the growth strategy laid out in our Strategic Business Plan (currently 2025-27).
-
Work with other teams within the Trust to identify opportunities for cross programme working to develop engagement with our information, training and services.
-
Manage a small Education team to deliver effectively and efficiently; while supporting their development, embodying a collaborative and supportive leadership culture in line with the Trust’s values.
-
Approve Education programme expenditure as per a delegated budget, including querying unexpected expenditure and highlighting anomalies to the Finance team; and supporting budget development and reforecasting processes by offering a key ‘front line’ perspective on priorities and costs.
-
Always ensure compliance to data protection, safeguarding, confidentiality and relevant organisational policies and procedures.
