York Travellers Trust (YTT) is seeking an inspiring, values-led Chief Executive to lead our organisation through its next stage of development.
We work alongside the vibrant and resourceful Gypsy and Traveller communities of York and the surrounding area. We challenge discrimination and inequality, increase opportunities and life chances, and build bridges that promote understanding and community cohesion.
As Chief Executive, you will provide strategic leadership and hold overall responsibility for YTT’s performance, financial sustainability, governance, safeguarding and organisational development.
Working closely with our Board, staff and community members, you will:
- shape and deliver YTT’s strategic direction;
- strengthen our financial sustainability and develop new income opportunities;
- ensure our services remain effective, safe and responsive;
- build influential relationships with communities, funders, partners and policymakers;
- champion the rights, needs and aspirations of Gypsy and Traveller communities; and
- embed sociocratic and democratic ways of working so that community voices genuinely shape our decisions.
We are looking for an experienced senior leader with a strong commitment to equality, social justice and community empowerment. You will have experience of leading in a charity, community organisation, public service or another values-led environment.
You will understand the strengths, needs and systemic barriers experienced by Gypsy and Traveller communities, gained through direct work with these communities or substantial experience alongside other marginalised groups.
You will combine strategic thinking with a collaborative, authentic and hands-on leadership style. You will also bring experience of managing people, working with a Board, overseeing finances, securing income and representing an organisation externally.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a trusted community organisation at an important point in its development. If you share our ambition for an inclusive, community-led and sustainable future, we would be delighted to hear from you.
We are very interested to hear from the Gypsy and Traveller Community and applications will be most welcome.
