About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.

Please note this role is advertised by the recruitment agency acting for the client – Not For Profit People.

Do you believe that reading can change a child's life?

Read for Good is a national charity dedicated to inspiring children to develop a life-changing love of reading. Their flagship Readathon programme in schools has been motivating children to read since 1984 and their unique Hospitals programme brings brand new books and storyteller visits to major children's hospitals across the UK.

They reach hundreds of thousands of children every year and are now ready for a new Chief Executive to turn the page and expertly lead them into their next chapter.

Added bonus: Beautiful, spacious offices and lovely working environment with outside riverside space (including ducks!).

We're looking for a Chief Executive to lead with both head and heart - someone who can hold the big picture, while staying close to what matters most: children, stories and the joy of reading.

You'll understand how to chart a clear path ahead, guiding people forward whilst also creating the right conditions for your team to thrive. This is a role for a leader who instinctively strikes the right balance between plans and people - someone who can enable Read for Good to grow with confidence, whilst maintaining the spark that makes them who they are.

About the role

You'll work closely with the Board and senior team to create and deliver a focused, impact-led strategy. You'll strengthen financial resilience, nurture a collaborative culture, and increase national visibility across publishing, education, literacy, health and related sectors.

As well as being an influential ambassador, advocating externally to raise their national profile, you'll also be custodian and protector of the "magic" that is at the heart of Read for Good.

We're looking for someone who can:

• Provide clear direction through collaborative, strategic leadership.
• Oversee strong financial planning, budgeting and risk management.
• Build sustainable income and long-term funding relationships.
• Strengthen partnerships and increase national visibility.
• Foster an inclusive, positive and empowering culture.
• Embed practical systems, digital improvements and evidence-led, impact reporting.

We'd love to hear from booklovers who are already operating at this level but would equally welcome applications from leaders ready to take that exciting first step into a CEO role.

About you

You bring real leadership credibility, having been a driving force behind organisational growth and change in charity, education, health or broader social impact sectors.

You lead with empathy and humility, whilst also being decisive and confident.

You inspire trust, communicate clearly and thrive in a role that blends strategic vision with hands-on leadership, as part of a small and talented team.

You're a natural connector who builds purposeful relationships wherever you go.

You're people-centred, thoughtful in your decision-making and motivated by improving outcomes for children.

How to apply

Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Amelia Lee at Charity People, as the first step.

If your experience matches what we're looking for, we'll be in touch with further information on how to make your formal application.

Deadline: 9am on Tuesday 14th April

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.

We are seeking an experienced and passionate VAWG Liaison Development Officer to join The Survivors Trust on secondment to the British Transport Police (BTP). In this pivotal role, you will help shape and deliver BTP’s Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy, working alongside a domestic abuse specialist to drive meaningful cultural change across the organisation.

This role offers a unique opportunity to impact national policing approaches while representing The Survivors Trust with professionalism, compassion, and expertise.

If you have experience of working with survivors, strong knowledge of the sexual violence sector, excellent training skills, and the confidence to engage diverse stakeholders, we would love to hear from you.
