Merseyside Society for Deaf People

Chief Executive

Full-time

Permanent

Merseyside

Merseyside Society for Deaf People (MSDP) has been supporting and empowering Deaf, Deafblind and hard-of-hearing people since 1864. We are one of the oldest deaf charities in the country and an important part of the Deaf community on Merseyside.

We are a local charity with a national outlook. Campaigning, advocacy and practical support are all central to who we are. We work to advance equality for Deaf, Deafblind, and hard-of-hearing people by raising awareness of the barriers they face and providing accessible, high-quality services that promote independence, inclusion, and well-being.

MSDP is a “lived experience”- led organisation that works in partnership with Deaf, Deafblind, and hard-of-hearing communities to design and deliver services that reflect real needs and lived realities.

Demand for our services is growing. The needs of Deaf, Deafblind, and hard-of-hearing people continue to evolve, and support systems do not always keep pace. Rising delivery costs, pressure on public funding and the need to diversify income all make this a pivotal moment for the organisation.

We’re looking for an inspiring, values-led leader who can combine long-term vision with day-to-day delivery. You’ll work closely with the Board of Trustees to steer our business strategy, ensuring both sustainability and innovation.

You will lead teams with compassion and purpose, embedding Deaf culture and equality at the heart of everything we do. As our ambassador, you’ll also influence partners, funders, and policymakers to broaden our reach and impact.

To be our next Chief Executive you will bring strategic leadership experience with a proven record of accountability, financial stewardship, strong governance, and organisational growth. You’re a confident communicator and influencer, comfortable building partnerships and leading campaigns. Above all, you share our values of inclusion, integrity, and community.
