Inspired by His Majesty’s philosophy of Harmony, we build and support thriving, sustainable communities where people, places and the planet can coexist. We practise and teach the principles of nature that underpin food, horticulture, farming and wellbeing, showcasing this knowledge at our sustainable sites around the world. We also bring these philosophies and practices to life at heritage sites across the UK, and train and educate people of all ages to develop practical skills, rooted in nature and tradition, that help them play an active role in their communities.
Philanthropy plays a key role in the delivery of our vision and, with the support of a strong donor base, we raise c. £15M pa alongside an equally robust commercial income stream.

To be successful in this role, you will therefore be an experienced and entrepreneurial fundraising leader, who is equally adept at building significant philanthropic relationships as you are in meeting the operational requirements of an organisation of our size and complexity. You will bring a track record of personally cultivating significant gifts, as well as leveraging and supporting key stakeholders and volunteers to support these activities. Your international fundraising experience will be an added bonus, particularly with donors in North America.

Khulisa (meaning “to nurture” in Zulu) is an award-winning national charity. We work with young people aged 11–25 whose lives have been affected by trauma or adversity. Trauma can profoundly impact a young person’s development — limiting their self-confidence, resilience, and ability to thrive.
For more than 18 years, Khulisa has provided evidence-based programmes that build social and emotional skills, helping young people to overcome barriers and reach their potential. We also train professionals, parents and carers to create trauma-informed environments, ensuring that all young people are cared for by adults who understand and respond to their needs.

We are seeking an inspiring Chief Executive Officer to lead Khulisa into its next chapter. The CEO will provide strategic leadership, financial and operational oversight, and the vision to grow our impact — building on strong foundations and trusted partnerships.
We are looking for an individual with:
-
Proven business development skills and the ability to diversify income.
-
Significant experience in stakeholder engagement — including funders, statutory bodies and partners.
-
A strong track record of leadership, with a commitment to collaboration, inclusivity, and professional development.
-
The confidence to act as Khulisa’s primary spokesperson and ambassador, championing our trauma-informed, person-centred approach at every level.
Why Join Us?
This is a rare opportunity to lead a charity with deep, long-standing relationships and a growing national profile. The CEO will play a central role in shaping the future of Khulisa, ensuring we continue to nurture young people and the communities around them.
