Chief Executive Officer
£110,000 - £125,000 per annum + benefits
Hybrid / London

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.
