Pecan are passionate about transforming the lives of those in their local community through: holistic practical and emotional support to those in their time of need, both in the moment and empowering lasting change; by connecting services and working in partnership, including with local churches, businesses, charities and councils; and by putting kindness, belief and hope at the heart of everything they do.
About you:
The next CEO will be someone with a passion for the impact Pecan is delivering and a heart for relationship building; committed to making a difference in the lives of the disadvantaged in Peckham.
You will bring your dynamic leadership experience, ideally gained in the charity or not for profit sector, with a range of knowledge and skills across people management, strategy development, operational oversight, fundraising, governance and finance. Your leadership, energy and care will enable staff and volunteers to be their best.

You will recruit, motivate and support a team of volunteers and develop a dynamic community engagement programme as part of a small, dedicated team at this special, historic site.
