We're looking for a passionate, values-driven CEO to guide our charity into its next inspiring chapter.
The Coalition registered as a charity in December 2023. We have spent the last 18 months developing the infrastructure of the organisation so we can meet the Charity Commission requirements. We developed a short strategic plan for a 2 year period to ensure we had all of the foundations in place to capitalise on our new charity status. This strategic plan ends in November 2025.
The CEO will set a new five-year strategy for the organisation by building on the solid foundations of the 2 year strategic plan and maximising the opportunities that charity status provides.
The CEO will have oversight across the whole organisation, often acting as the external ‘face’ of The Coalition with our stakeholders and partners. As such, they will represent us, and enable the Disabled community to have their voices heard to achieve equality and independence for Disabled people and those with long-term health conditions. The CEO will promote the Social Model of Disability and champion accessibility across all services in Surrey.
We are run and managed by Disabled people for Disabled people. Our aim is to campaign and promote the rights of Disabled people to live independently
