Jeans for Genes Campaign is recruiting a part-time, interim CEO capable of establishing procedures and processes for the new charity whilst taking the brand and campaign to a new level.

This is an exciting opportunity to take an already successful fund-raising campaign and to use your knowledge and experience to take it new heights.

Therefore this post is subject to an Occupational Requirement that the postholder be a committed Christian under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.

This role will be partly based at our London office, with flexibility for home-working. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons and all appointments will be made on merit.
