Lincolnshire Rural Support Network (LRSN) is seeking an exceptional new Chief Executive Officer to lead the next chapter of our journey, supporting the agricultural and horticultural community across Lincolnshire.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a charity with real heart, strong community roots, and a clear purpose: ensuring no one in Lincolnshire’s rural community faces difficulty alone.
For over 25 years, LRSN has been a trusted lifeline, providing confidential, compassionate support to individuals and families facing crisis, isolation, and change. We are a listening organisation at our core, rooted in empathy, trust, and a deep understanding of rural life.
We are now looking for a professional, strategic CEO, who can build on this strong foundation; someone who will inspire people, strengthen partnerships, and lead with clarity and conviction in a changing world.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a pivotal leadership position, responsible for shaping the strategic direction, sustainability, and impact of LRSN. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, you will lead a committed team of staff and volunteers, working collaboratively to ensure our services continue to reach those who need them most.
YOU WILL
• Provide clear, values-driven strategic leadership to grow LRSN’s reach and impact.
• Champion a positive, inclusive culture that empowers staff and volunteers.
• Strengthen income streams and ensure long-term financial sustainability.
• Act as a compelling ambassador for LRSN, building partnerships across sectors.
• Ensure strong governance, compliance, and effective organisational performance.
• Use insight and data to drive decision-making and continuous improvement.
WHY JOIN LRSN?
At LRSN, everything we do is guided by our values: we listen, we care, we serve others, we value people, we reach out, and we strive for excellence.
You will be joining an organisation with:
• A strong reputation and trusted presence across Lincolnshire.
• A dedicated and skilled volunteer network at its heart.
• A clear mission: that no one in our rural community should face difficulty alone.
• The opportunity to shape the future of a vital charity.
ABOUT YOU
You’ll bring senior leadership experience, strong charity and fundraising insight, financial confidence, and the ability to motivate people around a shared mission. A genuine connection to rural life and the farming community will help you thrive in this role.
Whether you are already operating at CEO/Head of Charity level or ready to step into your first top leadership role, you will be driven by purpose and passionate about making a difference.

Job Title: Digital Communications & Content Officer
Location: London/Hybrid
Salary: £36,038.98 per annum
Weekly Hours: 35
Reference: YMC1206520
Creative freedom ¦ Purpose-driven work ¦ Big ideas welcome
Love creating content that people stop scrolling for? Passionate about storytelling, social trends and bringing bold ideas to life? If you’re looking for a creative role where your voice matters and your ideas can genuinely shape a national brand, this could be the perfect next step.
At YMCA England & Wales, we’re searching for a talented Digital Communications & Content Officer to join our energetic and collaborative Communications team. This is an exciting opportunity to create impactful content that amplifies young people’s voices, builds meaningful engagement and helps drive positive change across England and Wales.
You’ll work across campaigns, fundraising and retail. You’ll drive national initiatives as part of our ambitious PCI Directorate — a supportive and creative environment where experimentation is encouraged and no two days are the same.
This is a role with real creative licence. We want someone who’s excited to test new ideas, jump on trends, explore emerging platforms and create content that feels fresh, authentic and culturally relevant. One day you could be filming TikTok content, the next producing a YouTube series, designing social-first campaigns or building engaging digital journeys and landing pages.
You’ll help grow and energise YMCA’s online communities by capturing real stories from young people, staff, volunteers and local YMCAs across the country. From short-form video and graphics to compelling campaigns and platform-native storytelling, your work will inspire audiences and encourage action.
We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes digital culture — a creative thinker who understands social media, loves multimedia storytelling and enjoys turning ideas into engaging content. Alongside strong creative instincts, you’ll use insights and analytics to continually refine and improve performance.
Most importantly, you’ll join a passionate organisation and a genuinely fun, forward-thinking team that values creativity, collaboration and innovation.
If you’re ready to bring fresh ideas, creative energy and digital expertise to a role with real purpose, we’d love to hear from you.
Our recruitment process is anonymised and candidates' names are hidden. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. Safer recruitment is important to us and the successful applicant will be asked to provide two references. They will also be required to complete a safeguarding self-declaration, safeguarding training and undertake a DBS check.
