This is an exciting time for a dynamic CEO to lead the Chilterns MS Centre into its next chapter. This period of growth and expansion into new services will need the CEO to confidently navigate the Charity into new areas, exercise a broad range of management and leadership skills and crucially to guide and balance growth in income and investment in additional resources.
The Chilterns MS Centre, based near Wendover in Buckinghamshire, is a well established and progressive charity devoted to supporting people affected by Multiple Sclerosis for the past 37 years. The organisation is moving into a new phase, extending support and therapies to a far wider range of neurological conditions including Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke. Utilising the facilities and staff expertise to a wider reach of beneficiaries is a key foundation of the Centre’s strategy to build long term resilience, and boost the positive impact for those affected by the challenges of neurological conditions.
The Centre’s Board of Trustees has governance oversight, and the CEO must manage the interface between the leadership team and the Trustees. A collaborative style coupled with a proactive operational can-do attitude are prerequisites.
Moving into a “multi-condition” organisation, as the Centre’s figurehead, you will be working in co-operation with the leadership team and especially the Head of Fundraising and Head of Integrated Clinical Services promoting the virtues of the Centre to our local and regional communities, businesses and key stakeholders; helping to build long term strategic relationships to secure both operational and income security.

Do you love a challenge, enjoy working with a variety of personalities and opinions, and want the chance to make a massive difference at an amazing charity? If you believe those who have served our country, and their loved ones, deserve the support they so rightly deserve when they are wounded, this could be your next role.
Every day, men and women leave a career they love in the Armed Forces as a result of physical or mental wounds, with their lives changed forever. Help for Heroes supports them, and those still serving, to recover and get on with the rest of their lives. Our unique approach relies on dynamic fundraising and that’s where you come in.
In this role you’ll be involved in creating fabulous online and offline campaigns that inspire people to engage with and donate to this incredible charity. You’ll manage donor development campaigns driven by audience insight and best practice. You know what makes a good direct response campaign, and how to get the best out of colleagues and suppliers.

At The Bike Project we provide an innovative solution to one of the most pressing problems facing asylum seekers and refugees on arrival to the UK: access to transport when living on a limited income, which for asylum seekers is as little as £5.66 per day.
Our mission is simple: each year we match refugees and asylum seekers with the many thousands of bikes that go abandoned or unloved around the country. We then go on to support these new bike owners to realise the emotional, practical and physical benefits of cycling.
10 years since that first bike donation, we are about to donate our 10, 000th bike and have expanded the project to include multiple programs, from refugee befriending services to women-only cycling classes.
We have supported tens of thousands of refugees to get access to bikes, learn to cycle and created a community of colleagues, refugees, volunteers and supporters. And we’ve grown rapidly in the last few years, from £720k turnover in 2018, to £2.2m turnover in 2021
Despite our successes, this is just the start. The demand from refugees for our work far outstrips our ability to meet it so we are looking to continue to grow until every refugee in the UK has the opportunity to start cycling.
If you want to be a part of that, read on!

The Association also campaigns and raises awareness so the needs of people with MND, and everyone who cares for them, are recognised, and addressed by wider society.
We operate a hybrid working environment within a flexible office space using the latest technology and digital infrastructure. This, together with a high level of trust and performance driven culture, gives staff the freedom and flexibility to work in the best way for them, the Association and, most importantly, people with MND.
