Chief Executive Officer

Join us to create a world fit for every child

UNICEF ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

We are currently seeking a Chief Executive Officer (Executive Director) to lead the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK).  You will deliver our ambitious strategy and our vision to do whatever it takes until every child is safe and able to fulfil their potential. It has been a challenging year, but we have also seen great successes. The opportunities to change children’s lives are amazing and the leadership needed to achieve this needs to be equally incredible. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, you will shape and evolve UNICEF UK’s culture, strategy, systems, structure, programmes, innovation and integrated ways of working to deliver outstanding results and impact for children.

The next Chief Executive Officer will require a range of skills and experience. Above all, you must demonstrate a deep commitment, passion and understanding of the work and ethos of UNICEF UK. We wish to encourage applications from experienced senior leaders drawn from a range of backgrounds who can drive and inspire change for children. You will be a values-driven, visionary leader with proven experience of delivering organisational vision and strategy, as well as outstanding operational results in a complex stakeholder context and challenging market environment. You will have exceptional communication and ambassadorial skills. You will be a decisive, inclusive and courageous individual, with credibility, authenticity and integrity.

Our story

At Lightful, we believe that those doing the greatest good deserve the best technology.

We’re passionate about making the best technology accessible to charities and nonprofits. Our products and solutions help organisations unleash the power of technology and make the good work they do even greater. Our products and services are designed to simplify the work and amplify the impact of charities and nonprofits. 

In 2015, Lightful was launched by Vinay Nair, Johnny Murnane and Carlos Miranda. Three friends who all had different exposure to the nonprofit sector, they all realised the same thing - nonprofits were not getting the technology they deserve.

Before evolving into Lightful (pre-2015), we were a YouTube certified multi-channel network (MCN) known as Thunderboom. Our original intention was to help charities and nonprofits of all shapes and sizes monetise their video content.

Things changed - as they do - and we eventually pivoted. We left our MCN ambitions behind, and we launched our now award-winning Lightful Social Platform. At that time, the company became known as Lightful.

From there we grew our consultancy services - now Lightful Solutions - and developed a comprehensive 12-month course to equip charities with the digital skills and capabilities they need to become more resilient - Lightful Learning's BRIDGE programme.

Lightful values

As a certified B Corp, we’re a values-led organisation, and our values are integral to the Lightful culture. Our Lightful values are:

• To act with audacity while remembering humility
• To understand the importance of both listening and leadership
• To practice generosity whilst showing accountability
• These all lay on the foundation of respect and integrity

Our business units
We offer three services to charities and nonprofits; Lightful Products, Lightful Learning and Lightful Solutions. Each business unit is different but highly interconnected, designed for the different needs of the social and environmental-focused organisations we’re proud to serve and work with.

Lightful Products
Lightful Products helps drive organisations forward with ready made software such as: 

• Lightful Fundraising Pages, fully customisable and branded to clients look and feel, to enable clients create engaging experiences that drive donations
• Lightful Social Platform, the #1 social media tool for charities, it helps charities schedule social media content, increase engagement and save time
• Lightful Components, a toolkit of adaptable components designed to build flexible, design-driven online communities

Lightful Learning

Lightful Learning helps our partners master real world skills through a combination of tools and support, building their confidence and resilience. It was designed to grow digital skills and increase effectiveness within the nonprofit sector.

Building resilience in digital growth and engagement (BRIDGE) is Lightful Learning's flagship programme for impact organisations looking to future-proof their operations at a time of great change. It combines a learning syllabus, delivered through a combination of live and recorded sessions and webinars, with the Lightful Social Platform. BRIDGE is supported by foundations and other funders, and offered to small-to-medium sized charities that they support.

The Severn Rivers Trust is a thriving and growing environmental charity. Whilst it is an independent organisation, it is also part of the wider Rivers Trust movement and is a member of both the Rivers Trust and Afonydd Cymru, the umbrella bodies for rivers trusts in England and Wales. Founded in 2008, SRT is the only organisation that works across the entire River Severn catchment in both England and Wales, some 11,500 square miles. 

The River Severn is the longest river in the United Kingdom, stretching for 220 miles from its source in the Cambrian Mountains in Powys Wales, through the counties of Shropshire, Worcestershire and into Gloucestershire to the Severn Estuary. The culture and economy of the historic settlements across the catchment have been intertwined with the river through commercial navigation, fishing, water supply and trade. Today, the Severn’s rivers continue to play an essential role in supporting the wildlife, wellbeing and economy of the region.

The Board of Trustees of the Severn Rivers Trust (SRT) is seeking to appoint a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who has strategic vision and proven leadership skills, understands the business operating imperatives that combine to make an organisation sustainable in the long term and can lead the implementation of our strategy.

Irrespective of the SRT’s status as a registered charity, it is also a business and the operation of the SRT requires strong planning, effective management, and efficient processes, as well as proactive marketing and income generation while maintaining the reputation of the Trust.

The new CEO’s leadership skills and experience should cover all of the core responsibilities that accompany the role - strategic organisational planning, business development, operational delivery, workforce development, management of resources and finance. It is expected that the new CEO will also have environmental knowledge and conservation experience.

The role presents an exciting opportunity to take SRT forward and to make significant impact in tackling environmental issues in the region, promoting the concept of integrated catchment management, and implementing the aspirations of the government’s 25 Year Environment Plan. 

Role Purpose

To lead the implementation of our Strategic Plan as agreed with the Trustees. To ensure that the Severn Rivers Trust is financially stable and a viable commercial operation with a mixture of income streams, and to oversee both the development and morale of staff and relations with principal stakeholders and key funders. 

Application Details

An Information Pack and Application forms are available from the Severn Rivers Trust website

Deadline for applications: Midnight Sunday 16th May 2021.

First interviews for this post will take place on Thursday 3rd June 2021
