About Lumos

Lumos is an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by children’s author J.K. Rowling to end the harmful practice of institutionalisation of children. Lumos’ mission is to fight for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world.  Our vision is for all children to grow up in safe and loving families. 

Despite clear evidence of the harms of institutionalisation, an estimated 5.4 million children worldwide continue to live in institutions. Separated from their families and communities, these children are deprived of the love, attention, and opportunities they need to thrive. We have made important progress in closing harmful institutions and reuniting children with their families. And where children are unable to live with their birth families, we promote alternative family-based care, such as kinship care and quality foster care.  Thanks to our tireless efforts alongside many other champions of care reform, the harms of institutionalisation are now more widely understood. A global movement is underway and the UN, the EU and some large development agencies have joined individual countries in pledging to change how they care for vulnerable children.  We are committed to ensuring that global policy commitments are translated into local action, leading to sustainable change for vulnerable children.

Over the past 15 years Lumos has worked directly in different countries around the world to demonstrate that it is possible to change systems of care and fulfil children’s rights.  Building on our heritage and direct experience of systems reform, our new strategy focuses on sharing learning with others to reach more children and amplify the impacts of our work on children’s lives. 

During the past year, Lumos has carried out three major reviews:  a culture review; a governance review; and an organisational review. Action plans have been developed to implement the recommendations of these reviews, providing strong foundations for our strategy for 2021-23.  To support the implementation of the new strategy Lumos are seeking to recruit a Chief Executive Officer, a Global Director of Fundraising and Engagement and a Global Director of Systems Change.

There is a high level of commitment from trustees and staff to the change programme and to delivery of our bold new strategy and plans for the next phase of Lumos’ development. Our new strategy for 2021-2023 has three priorities:

Building Global Expertise: We will use our knowledge and experience to support those responsible for reforming care systems in their own countries. This will include providing technical support, evidence, and guidance to help design and run better care systems, as well as learning exchanges where they can share experiences and challenges.

Catalysing Change: We will use evidence to motivate and press governments to reform the way they care for children. This will involve leading targeted research and advocacy campaigns to identify and tackle the drivers of institutionalisation, promoting accountability by tracking and highlighting progress, and influencing international funding, programmes, and policy.

Demonstrating & Innovating: Building on our heritage of successful programmes showing how care systems can be reformed, we will use what we have learnt in the past to support partners with their own reform efforts. Over the next two years, as we complete our current country demonstration work in Eastern Europe, we’ll identify programmes in new regions – building expertise and evidence of what good care reform looks like in new and challenging contexts, particularly for those children that typically get left behind.

The International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC) is an independent, not-for-profit body (a Dutch Stichting) which seeks to promote the development and delivery of better integrated services across the spectrum of health and social care.

Changes in public expectations, the aging of the world's population, new technologies, financial pressures and evolving professional roles mean that long-standing, fragmented approaches to care cannot be sustained. Health and care system leaders around the world are actively pursuing new, more integrated, seamless and efficient approaches to meeting people's needs.

IFIC is playing a lead role in a global movement for change - shaping the policy agenda for integrated care, developing evidence-based approaches and supporting policymakers, care providers and care recipients in their implementation.

This is an exciting time for IFIC which has responded well to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic and continues to mature as an organisation in terms of governance and strategy. It will be essential for the new CEO to work with the Board to develop and implement strategic and business plans, build partnerships and be an advocate.

The National Migraine Centre is the only national charity that provides clinical treatments for migraine sufferers and cluster headache patients. We are a Centre of Excellence which has been in operation for over 40 years, with a current turnover of £400k, an administrative staff of six with nine clinicians.

Our goal is to help our patients regain control of their lives, to manage this condition rather than allowing it to dictate their life. We get excellent patient feedback, with many citing their treatment at the Centre as life changing.

Due to the retirement of our current CEO, we are looking for a new Chief Executive. You will be joining us at an exciting and challenging period in our development. We are currently only seeing a fraction of the headache and migraine sufferers in the UK who could potentially be treated. We wish to grow further the impact of the charity, but this brings challenges, particularly in the current environment. Working with the Board of Trustees, the post holder will shape the strategic direction of the NMC and lead the charity into its next phase of development and growth.

Over the last few months, the team has successfully pivoted our services to be almost entirely remote, whilst maintaining excellent patient feedback. The new Chief Executive will need to grow the organisation, maintain quality and look at new operating models. You will need to have excellent people and leadership skills to manage our diverse stakeholders. You will have a willingness to get involved in all aspects to the operations and take a hands-on approach when required. The NMC remains a small charity and therefore you will need to focus on current operations as well as future growth.

We are looking for someone with:

• Substantial leadership experience within the healthcare sector, ideally NHS and charity exposure.
• An understanding of the issues involved in running a small charity and willingness to get involved in all aspects of the Centre’s work.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to be an effective spokesperson for the Centre
• Financial and budgetary management experience.
• Experience of the NHS Commissioning process and working with Clinical Commissioning Groups would be ideal.
• Excellent people skills to motivate a small team of staff to grow the organisation.
• An affinity with the plight of headache and migraine sufferers and a passion for the National Migraine Centre’s mission to support their needs.
