8 Chief executive officer jobs in Bath, Bath and North East Somerset

For over five decades The Hive Avon has been working across Bristol and South Gloucestershire towards achieving our vision that all people with a learning disability and autism should be included, valued and lead great lives.

We do this by providing social and educational opportunities to autistic and learning disabled adults, their families and carers, helping to reduce isolation, build new skills and promote independence.

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with relevant experience of management and leadership to take our organisation forward. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a team approach.

We believe that ethics and attitude are equally as important as knowledge and we are looking for someone who wants to make a real difference to people’s lives.

This is an opportunity to lead a small, local organisation with tangible human impact. Working with a small, committed staff team and over 40 volunteers, you will build on strong foundations while helping The Hive Avon become more ambitious, sustainable and influential.

You will work with the Board to shape and deliver our strategy, lead and develop the organisation, strengthen our partnerships and profile and, importantly, grow and diversify our income. Developing a more consistent and sustainable funding base will be central to our next chapter.

This is a genuinely hands-on CEO role. We are looking for someone who thrives in a small, organisation and is comfortable moving between the strategic and practical. You might be working with Trustees on future direction, developing a funding relationship, building partnerships or helping colleagues resolve an operational challenge. You will enjoy being close to the work, taking ownership and making things happen.

You may already be a CEO or be a senior leader ready to take that step. You will bring leadership experience alongside a demonstrable ability to generate income, develop partnerships and make a compelling case for support. Above all, we are looking for someone who is ambitious for our impact rather than the size of the organisation, a leader who can see what is possible and help us make it happen.
