Salary: £60,000 (full time equivalent)
Hours: Full or part-time working, we are open to flexible working arrangements and applications from candidates seeking 30+ hours per week. Salary will be calculated on a pro rata basis for part time hours.
Location: The role is home-based, with regular travel across the South East, alongside occasional national travel.
Job Type: 12 months fixed term contract (Subject to the organisation's future strategic priorities and financial position, there may be the opportunity for the role to become permanent)
Chiltern Music Therapy is seeking an Interim Chief Executive Officer for a 12-month appointment to lead an ambitious programme of organisational transformation and sustainable growth. Working closely with our Board and team, you will strengthen our financial sustainability, develop new opportunities for growth and leave the organisation well positioned for its next permanent Chief Executive.
Hello, we’re Chiltern.
We are a social enterprise providing music therapy, community music services and training across England. Each year, we support more than 2,000 children, young people and adults across health, education, social care and community settings.
For many years, we have been exploring and developing a more self-managing and distributed approach to organisational life — one rooted in trust, autonomy, shared responsibility and reflective practice. This has helped us build a highly engaged and thoughtful team, alongside services that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
We are entering an exciting period of change, with a clear ambition to strengthen our commercial sustainability, increase our reach, grow our income and ensure our operating model is fit for the future. This interim appointment is a key part of that journey, bringing focused leadership to help us deliver meaningful organisational change while remaining true to our collaborative culture and values.
About the role
This is a delivery-focused interim leadership role with a clear mandate to accelerate organisational transformation and sustainable growth over the next 12 months.
The role combines strategic leadership of the organisation with hands-on responsibility for strengthening financial sustainability, business development, organisational alignment and ensuring the organisation is well positioned for long-term success.
We are looking for a CEO who is excited by creating opportunities. Someone who enjoys building relationships, spotting potential and turning ideas into sustainable partnerships that increase both our impact and our income. A central part of this role is generating new business for Chiltern by developing strategic partnerships, securing larger-scale opportunities and helping us grow in ways that remain true to our values and culture.
The role requires someone who can comfortably hold both the bigger picture and the operational reality — someone who enjoys being connected to the organisation, understanding how things are working in practice and helping create the conditions for people and services to thrive.
We are looking for a leader who is relational, commercially aware and emotionally intelligent; someone who can navigate complexity with clarity and steadiness, and who is comfortable working within a collaborative and distributed leadership culture rather than a traditional hierarchy.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for someone who can operate effectively in a self-organising, values-led, evolving system.
We are interested in hearing from people with senior leadership experience within complex, people-focused organisations.
You may come from health, education, social care, the charity sector, social enterprise, or another relevant service environment. What matters most is your ability to step into organisations during periods of change and quickly build trust, momentum, and clarity.
The successful candidate will leave a lasting legacy by strengthening the organisation's sustainability, capability, and readiness for its next phase of development.
You'll work within a collaborative and, values-led organisation, but you'll also be expected to provide clear direction, make confident decisions, prioritise effectively, and deliver measurable progress over a 12-month period.
You will likely bring:
-
Experience leading organisational transformation or significant change
-
A track record of driving sustainable growth and income generation
-
Strong commercial and financial leadership
-
Ability to quickly build credibility with Boards, staff and external partners
-
Experience delivering measurable organisational improvement
-
Excellent relationship-building and influencing skills
-
Confidence making decisions in complex environments
Experience of self-managing, employee-owned or distributed leadership environments would be welcomed, although this is not essential.
We’ve outlined the essential and desirable experience, knowledge and attributes for this role in the full candidate pack.
We know that strong candidates do not always meet every requirement. If this role resonates with you, we would encourage you to consider applying.
Recruitment process
We aim to make our recruitment process thoughtful, proportionate and human. You will be asked to complete an application form, answering some questions to demonstrate your skills and how you meet the requirements of the role.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview/ strategic leadership conversation with Board members and will be asked to deliver a presentation.
The application deadline is Sunday 26th July at midnight, with interviews/strategic leadership conversations taking place at Irwin Mitchell, London, EC4Y 0AY on Wednesday 12th August.
A full candidate pack is available here, including further information about the role and our organisational approach.
How to apply
Please complete the application form on our website and email a summary of your relevant experience (maximum 2 pages, traditional CV optional).

Two positions:
- 1 x Greater Manchester
- 1 x Barking & Dagenham
We have recently been awarded a transformative multi-year grant from The National Lottery Community Fund as part of its Health Inequities: Structural Racism and Discrimination Partnership. We are one of ten national partners working alongside The National Lottery Community Fund and will take a leading role in shaping how the partnership operates, including building evidence, influencing policy and practice, supporting the design of new national funding programmes, and facilitating collective learning across the partnership.
Alongside this, the centrepiece of our participation will be the delivery of three Anti-Racism Collaboratives (ARCs), each based in a specific locality and rooted in communities experiencing the sharpest health inequities. The initial locations are Greater Manchester, the London Borough of Lambeth and the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham.. ARCs will bring together voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (VCSE), faith organisations, people with lived experience, primary and secondary care providers, local authorities, public health and social care partners. Each ARC will convene a Co-Production Panel (CPP) of people from minoritised ethnic communities to identify where structural racism produces inequitable health outcomes, and to co-produce evidence-led solutions that improve health and tackle the wider determinants of health.
We are recruiting two Changemakers, one each for Greater Manchester and for Barking & Dagenham. As a Changemaker, you will establish and support an ARC within one of our pilot localities, bringing together stakeholders, providing strategic advice and knowledge of research methods and policy opportunities. You will support the design and implementation of health intervention programmes decided on by the ARC that have the power to influence policy, practice and systems.
Working as part of a national team of Changemakers, you will also contribute to the Foundation's evidence, influencing and systems change work, connecting learning from your locality to national policy, while bringing national developments back into local action. Together, the team will develop a replicable model for tackling racial health inequities.
We are looking for an experienced systems change practitioner who is passionate about tackling structural racism and improving health equity. This highly collaborative leadership role requires someone equally comfortable working alongside people with lived experience, senior leaders across health and local government, and colleagues from the voluntary and community sector. Success will depend on your ability to build trusted partnerships, work strategically in complex environments, translate evidence into action, and create the conditions for lasting systems change.
Person Specification
Essential
-
Demonstrable experience of leading complex, multi-agency change involving communities, VCSE organisations and statutory partners.
-
Strong understanding of how systemic racism operates within health and wider public systems
-
Experience of identifying opportunities to redesign policy, commissioning, organisational practice or partnerships to reduce racial inequities.
-
Experience of leading or facilitating programmes that sought to tackle systemic racism through systems or organisational change.
-
Ability to build trusted relationships across organisations with different priorities and levels of influence, exercising sound judgement in complex and politically sensitive environments.
-
Significant experience of working alongside communities experiencing racial inequities to co-produce evidence-led solutions that influence policy, organisational practice or systems.
-
A commitment to trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches that recognise community knowledge as equal to professional expertise.
-
Experience of synthesising qualitative and quantitative evidence and translating it into practical recommendations that influence policy, commissioning, organisational practice or wider systems change.
-
Excellent communication and influencing skills, with experience of using evidence and partnership working to shape policy, commissioning or organisational practice.
-
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to diverse audiences.
-
Ability to work strategically while maintaining oversight of programme delivery.
-
Ability to work confidently in ambiguity, adapting approaches in response to evidence, community insight and changing organisational contexts.
-
Commitment to equity, anti-racism and the values of the Race Equality Foundation.
Desirable
-
Experience of working within health and care systems.
-
Experience of analysing ethnicity-disaggregated data or wider health inequalities evidence.
-
Experience of Action Learning, organisational development or other systems change methodologies.

About TLG
Transforming Lives for Good (TLG) is a Christian children’s wellbeing charity rooted in the conviction that the local church is central to God’s mission of restoration and hope for children and families. Today, through our existing programmes of Early Intervention and Make Lunch, over 220 churches are partnering with TLG, supporting 4,699 children each year, with 1,059 children and family members connecting into the wider support of the church as a place of belonging, care and hope.
About the Role
As we journey towards our vision to bring fullness of life for every child, no matter what struggles they face, we’re looking for a passionate, motivated and mission-driven individual to join our team as Finance Manager.
The Finance Manager will play a central role in shaping the financial strength and future growth of the charity. As the operational lead for day-to-day finance, you’ll ensure robust financial controls, deliver accurate and timely reporting, and provide clear, strategic insight that empowers leaders across the organisation. Working closely with the Director of Finance, you will be a key voice in safeguarding financial health and driving forward our mission.
As someone who has completed or nearly completed their Accountancy qualification, you will be given responsibility in an environment centred on growth. The Finance Manager will lead a high-performing finance function, bringing expertise across budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and analysis. You will oversee and continually improve financial systems and processes, ensuring they are efficient, compliant, and fit for a growing organisation with ambitious goals.

Some of the role responsibilities include elements of:
- Financial Management & Reporting
- Budgeting & Planning
- Systems & Processes

Whilst the responsibilities and feel of the role will be familiar to someone with a career in charity finance, the close work with TLG’s commercial subsidiaries, the opportunity to speak strategically in the future of the charity, the focus on career development and the environment of grace and faith encompassing TLG make this role an attractive proposition for anyone who wants to make a difference for Jesus within the finance sector.
About You

You can work well within a high‑performing finance function, bringing strong charity finance experience, excellent technical skills, and the ability to communicate clearly across the organisation, including with department heads throughout the team. You’ll balance strategic oversight with hands‑on delivery of management accounts, budgeting and reporting. Alongside this, you’ll bring an active Christian faith, playing a full part in the spiritual life of the organisation and working sensitively with people of all backgrounds.
