About our charity: Join us to support people-led change across the UK
We run the Churchill Fellowships, a unique programme that supports UK citizens to find new solutions worldwide for today’s most pressing challenges.
Every year we fund over 100 new Fellows to discover the latest ideas and best practice in any practical issue they care passionately about, anywhere in the world. The topics they explore cover every aspect of society and are often informed by their own lived experience. They meet leading practitioners, encounter cutting-edge projects, and gather their findings in a published report. Then we help them to turn their ideas into action and inspire change in their communities and professions across the UK.
Fellows tell us that their Fellowship is life-changing, for themselves and for those who benefit from their global learning. These are dedicated and practical individuals with a strong vision of the change they want to see, the knowledge to progress it and the drive to make it happen. As a result, their impact is felt throughout the UK, and many go on to be leaders in their fields.
Our unique approach has created a community of thousands of highly effective changemakers working on the frontlines of today’s key issues. At the heart of all this is a simple but enduring concept: we are empowering individuals to learn from the world and transform lives across the UK.

Currently, there are 11 shops in this area – located in Allestree, Kimberley, Leamington Spa, Retford, Shrewsbury, Tring, Windsor, Whitby, Halesowen, High Wycombe, and Woodstock – though this may change as our retail network evolves.
In this 9-month fixed term contract, you'll build trust and engage your teams to drive income growth, meet key commercial targets, and deliver an exceptional experience for customers and donors alike.
You'll lead with purpose – inspiring, coaching, and empowering teams while ensuring operational excellence and championing our mission on the high street.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a passionate and collaborative team, supported by strong systems, values-led leadership, and a shared commitment to making a difference.
This is a home-based role with regular travel across your region and occasional overnight stays. You will be expected to spend an average of four days per week in the shops and reside within the area served by one of the region's shops. The ideal candidate will be based in the Midlands area.
In this role, you will:
- Act as an ambassador for our brand and retail strategy, motivating and inspiring your teams.
- Line manage Shop Managers, supporting with recruitment, development and performance.
- Lead commercial performance by analysing shop data, identifying opportunities, and making sound commercial decisions.
- Work closely with Business Managers during shop launches/relaunches to ensure successful handovers.
- Support volunteer recruitment, engagement and training with the support of our volunteering team.
- Manage operational and risk-related shop issues, escalating where necessary.
About You
You're a commercially minded retail leader with extensive multi-site management experience, ideally within charity or high-street retail. You combine strategic thinking with a hands-on, supportive approach, and lead with kindness, resilience, and purpose.
You'll bring:
- Extensive multi-site retail management experience – essential for overseeing a large, dispersed region.
- A strong commercial background, with a focus on delivering results through data-driven decision-making and KPIs.
- Experience leading and motivating diverse, remote teams.
- Exceptional leadership and communication skills, with the ability to inspire others, lead by example, listen actively, and offer clear, timely feedback.
- A deep understanding of volunteer engagement, with the ability to attract, retain, and motivate volunteer teams.
- A collaborative, non-judgemental approach, fostering an inclusive and supportive culture.
- A full UK driving licence and the flexibility to travel regularly across the region, with occasional overnight stays.
- Residency within or near one of the listed shop locations – ideally in the Midlands.
If you're passionate about community engagement, thrive in a volunteer-led environment, and want to make a real impact – we'd love to hear from you.

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
Thank you!

Prospectus is proud to be partnering with a leading UK music therapy charity. For over 60 years, the organisation has worked to ensure that music is accessible to all, not just as a creative outlet, but as a powerful tool for connection, communication and care. Its unique, evidence-based practice supports people facing some of life’s most complex challenges, from neurological conditions and developmental delays to mental health difficulties and life-limiting illnesses.
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.
Please see the dedicated microsite located in the job advert on the Prospectus website for a more detailed outline of the role, along with additional information about the organisation and community.
