Do you have the vision and heart to help shape the future of the voluntary sector in the Vale of Glamorgan?
That's exactly what you'll do as Chief Executive leading Glamorgan Voluntary Services (GVS), by continuing to support and advocate for the Vale's thriving third sector.
GVS is entering a new chapter as their CEO of 24 years retires, leaving a remarkable legacy. We're looking for a visionary, emotionally intelligent leader to take the reins and guide this vital organisation into its next era.

Location: Llantwit Major, mostly onsite with flexibility
Contract: Permanent, full time 35 hours per week

About GVS
GVS is the County Voluntary Council (CVC) for the Vale of Glamorgan, supporting over 800 community and voluntary organisations. They champion charities, social enterprises, volunteers and community groups through four key pillars: volunteering, sustainable funding, good governance, and influencing & engagement.
Rooted in community with two busy centres, GVS helps local organisations to innovate, grow and deliver real impact across the Vale, by developing and strengthening regional cross-sector partnerships.
About the role
As you'd expect, the Chief Executive role is both complex and multi-faceted, so we'll be looking for you to:
* Provide inspirational leadership to a talented and dedicated team.
* Represent the voice of the third sector locally, regionally, and nationally.
* Drive forward an ambitious strategy for sustainability, innovation and growth.
* Champion the role of the voluntary sector in tackling pressing issues (like the cost-of-living crisis, digital inclusion and community support).
* Build mutually beneficial relationships with members, funders and statutory partners.
About You
It's important you can demonstrate leadership skills and experience across a range of essential criteria. But, we're especially keen to see:
* Strategic vision through senior leadership experience in the voluntary or public sector.
* Evidence of partnership-building, stakeholder management and advocacy.
* Income generation success, building financial sustainability within the third sector.
* Exceptional communicator, with the ability to represent GVS on local and national platforms.
* Above all - values-led, collaborative and committed to nurturing inclusive, resilient communities.
Welsh language skills are desirable, but not essential - what matters most is a genuine willingness to connect with the local context and people of the Vale.
