Brainkind exists to ensure that life after brain injury can be a life well lived.
As the UK’s largest not-for-profit provider of specialist brain injury rehabilitation and neurological services, we support more than 750 people each year across our network of hospitals, assessment and rehabilitation centres, and community services in England, Scotland and Wales. With 86% of our services rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’, and a unique integrated pathway from hospital to community, Brainkind is the national leader in specialist brain injury rehabilitation.
We are now seeking an exceptional Chief Executive Officer to lead Brainkind into its next phase. This is a pivotal moment for the organisation: an opportunity to strengthen financial resilience, sharpen operational alignment, and build on our strong foundations to deliver even greater impact for the people we support.
Reporting to the Chair and Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive Officer will have full accountability for organisational performance, strategy, and culture. You will lead and develop a committed and experienced Executive Team, ensure the continued delivery of high-quality, person-centred services, and build trusted relationships with commissioners, partners, regulators, and stakeholders across the health and care system.
This role requires a proven executive leader with experience operating at scale within health, social care, or a similarly complex regulated environment. You will bring a strong track record of delivering organisational performance, financial stewardship, and leading organisations through periods of change, growth, or transformation.
Above all, you will be a visible, values-driven leader, able to combine strategic clarity, operational discipline, and commercial judgement with a deep personal commitment to improving the lives of people with brain injuries.
This is an opportunity to lead one of the UK’s most important specialist charities at a time of both challenge and opportunity, and to make a lasting difference to the lives of those we serve. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to shape the future of specialist brain injury rehabilitation in the UK and lead an organisation with deep expertise, committed staff, and a clear sense of purpose.

About Little Hearts Matter
Little Hearts Matter (LHM) is a national charity with over 7000 members. We are the only charity in the UK that offers support and information to, and represents the needs of, children and families following a diagnosis of single ventricle heart disease (half a working heart). These congenital cardiac conditions can never be cured, even following repeated surgery, so the children must learn to live within the restrictions that their disability and fears for their future create.
Little Hearts Matter is there from the time parents learn of their child’s condition, through risk-filled treatment into a challenged-filled life at home. LHM is there to support the children, and their families, through their hopes and aspirations and the gradual realisation that they will never have the same life as their peers. Our aims are to:
Alleviate isolation by offering support, friendship and understanding from the time a diagnosis is made, through treatment decisions, hospital care and into life at home, eventually introducing parents and patients to other families who have similar experiences and shared concerns helping them to build a network of support.
Reduce fear by offering patients, parents, siblings, and the extended family a greater opportunity to understand the diagnosis and treatment paths available.
Reduce confusion and a lack of understanding by producing and supplying for free, user focused information that supports and aids understanding from the time of diagnosis, through treatments and into life at home.
Raise a greater awareness within Medical, Educational, Social and Governmental circles of the needs of children, and their families, as they travel through every stage of their lives.
Purpose of the role:
The Assistant to the Head of Service will support the effective delivery of Little Hearts Matter’s family services, with a particular focus on enabling smooth communication, assisting in the organisation of service activities and events and supporting service volunteers.
