Helping refugees rebuild their lives in Berkshire since 1994.

Location: Reading (3 days per week in office)

Applications close at 9 a.m. Monday 17th November.

For more than 33 years, Refugee Support Group (RSG) has stood alongside refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants across Berkshire.

RSG began as a community social group for refugees and asylum seekers with members offering each other moral support and advice. We have proudly grown from a small volunteer group into a respected charity providing legal advice, casework, and resettlement support for people rebuilding their lives in a new country.

At a time when the national conversation about refugees has become increasingly hostile, our role has never been more important.

Every day, we help people find safety, stability and dignity, empowering them to thrive and contribute to their communities.

Leading RSG

This is a leadership role for someone who can combine strategic vision with operational and financial focus, and who understands both the complexity and the humanity of our mission.

You will:

• Lead, empower and support our talented staff and volunteers with a collaborative, inclusive leadership style.
• Shape and deliver a bold, forward-looking strategy that balances growth, advocacy and sustainability.
• Bring strong financial and commercial acumen and have experience in leading organisational change and delivering results in complex or resource-constrained environments.
• Have a successful track record of fundraising and income growth.
• Act as the public face of RSG, building relationships with funders, local authorities, government departments and networks.
• Champion the rights and dignity of refugees and asylum seekers.
• Bring excellent communication skills and an ability to nurture partnerships and collaboration across Reading and beyond.

About you

You will bring a strong track record of leadership and income generation, ideally from within the charity or public sector, but this is not a prerequisite. You will be an excellent communicator who can influence and inspire internally, externally and publicly.

Above all, you will bring authenticity, resilience and compassion, with the ability to lead through complexity and change.

Lived experience or prior experience of working closely with refugee and migrant communities is welcomed, but not essential. What is essential is that you will be passionate about supporting refugees and that you are driven by a deep belief in inclusion, justice and human dignity.

Why now?

More people than ever are being displaced by conflict, persecution and crisis. In this context, RSG’s work is both vital and urgent. This is an opportunity to lead an established, dedicated charity at a turning point, to build on strong foundations, respond to rising need and ensure that every refugee in Berkshire and beyond can find safety, support and a sense of belonging.

At the heart of the charity’s work is a clear mission: to use music to break down barriers and challenge injustice. With a bold new strategy and a clear national ambition, the organisation is calling for music therapy to be recognised, integrated and accessible as part of the UK’s health and care system.

The charity is now seeking a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the next phase of this journey. This is a significant leadership opportunity for an experienced, purpose-driven executive who can inspire teams, influence national conversations and ensure long-term impact and sustainability.

As CEO, you will be responsible for leading the organisation with clarity, compassion and strategic focus. You will work closely with the Board and Senior Leadership Team to ensure that the charity remains financially resilient, operationally effective and deeply aligned to its values. You will act as a key ambassador for the organisation, building strategic partnerships, engaging with government and funders, and championing the transformative power of music across a wide range of sectors. Internally, you will lead on organisational culture, team wellbeing and inclusive practice, ensuring the charity remains a values-led and mission-driven employer of choice.

We are looking for a leader who brings:

• Significant senior leadership experience, ideally at CEO or Executive Director level, within a complex, purpose-driven organisation

• A strong track record in strategic planning, income growth and organisational transformation

• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with experience representing an organisation at a national level

• Experience working with a Board of Trustees to ensure strong governance and long-term sustainability

• A deep personal commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, wellbeing and social impact

While direct experience of music therapy is not essential, candidates must demonstrate a strong alignment with the mission and values of the organisation. You will understand the importance of creative expression, human connection and inclusive access to care, and bring the leadership skills to make these values a reality across the UK.
