Overview:

Stema (Charity No 1204510) is seeking an experienced CEO for our charity pioneering disruptive approaches to global health and sustainable development. The CEO will report directly to our trustees, growing our small and dynamic global team, driving Stema forwards by expanding and diversifying our funding sources, and developing innovative research and products.

Our focus over the last year has been developing alternative approaches to community health and sustainable development, leading to the development of the concept of community positive health and creation of an index to measure community positive health.

Stema aims to complement these existing paradigms while pushing the boundaries with novel approaches to leverage positive disruptions in global health. 

Stema is an equal opportunities employer, and encourages all candidates who are passionate about driving positive change and possess the necessary skills and experience to apply for this exciting opportunity to join our team.
