Chief Executive Officer

Would you like to lead an organisation that makes a meaningful difference to the lives of millions of people? Tinnitus UK is looking for an experienced and values-driven Chief Executive Officer to guide the charity through an exciting period of growth and opportunity.

Tinnitus affects almost 8 million people in the UK, with many experiencing a significant impact on their wellbeing, relationships, work and quality of life. Tinnitus UK exists to improve the lives of people living with tinnitus through trusted information and support, education and professional development, research partnerships, and awareness and advocacy. Each year, we support more than 250,000 people through our services, resources, events and networks.

Following a period of significant organisational development, Tinnitus UK is entering an exciting new phase. We have strengthened our finances, enhanced our operations and services, expanded our influence, and launched an ambitious 10-year strategy that sets out our vision for the future. We are now seeking a part-time Chief Executive Officer to lead the next stage of our journey.

Reporting to the Chair of the Board of Trustees, the CEO will provide strategic leadership for the organisation, working closely with the Board, staff team, volunteers, funders and partners to deliver our mission and maximise our impact. You will lead a committed and talented team, ensuring Tinnitus UK remains financially sustainable, influential across the hearing health sector, and responsive to the needs of people living with tinnitus.

This is an opportunity for an experienced and values-driven leader who combines strategic thinking with practical delivery. You will be comfortable leading a small but ambitious organisation, building partnerships, driving income growth, supporting innovation and representing Tinnitus UK externally with credibility and passion.

While this role is initially being recruited on a part time basis, we envisage a planned progression to a full-time position as the charity grows and subject to financial sustainability. We believe that visible and collaborative leadership is essential and therefore ask candidates to commit to spending at least two days per week in our Sheffield office, working alongside the team.

If you share our commitment to improving understanding, treatment and support for people affected by tinnitus, and want to help shape the future of a growing national charity, we would love to hear from you.

For further information, including details of the role and person specification, please download the Candidate Pack or contact us to arrange an informal conversation.

To apply, please submit your CV and a supporting statement (maximum two pages) outlining how your skills and experience meet the requirements of the role and why you are interested in leading Tinnitus UK.

The deadline is 5pm Monday 5 July.

First interviews will be held online on 14 and 15 July while second interviews will be held in person at the Tinnitus UK offices in Sheffield during week commencing 20 July.
