Eido is entering a new phase of growth. Our influence is expanding and the opportunities before us exceed our current capacity. We believe this creates an exciting prospect for an experienced CEO - or for a current charity or business director ready for their first top-level leadership role.
We are seeking a leader of character and conviction, with missional drive, and experience in networking and delivering impact solutions within the Christian sector to take Eido to the next level. There is flexibility in how the role could be shaped, depending on the skills and preferences of the successful candidate.
The CEO is ideally a person of Christian faith to lead team prayer meetings, attend and contribute at Christian conferences, pray with clients, and speak with integrity and authority within the Christian sector.
As Eido transitions from being founder-led, we recognise the importance of establishing a healthy, collaborative relationship between the new CEO and shareholders. After an initial transition period, the shareholders intend to form a board and meet fortnightly with the CEO to review KPIs and offer insight on key decisions. Our goal is to set the new CEO up for success, providing support and accountability, while allowing them space to develop and pursue their own strategies and full autonomy in leading day-to-day operations.

We work with some of society’s most vulnerable children and young people, including those facing mental health challenges, trauma, special educational needs, disability and neurodivergence. Many cannot access school because there is no suitable place for their needs, or because school is not safe for them. Their families fight every day to get the help their children need, often while facing housing insecurity, exhaustion and systems that can feel indifferent or overwhelming.

You will:
- Lead with courage, curiosity and care, empowering staff, volunteers and partners to deliver excellence.
- Shape and deliver a bold, forward-looking strategy that strengthens impact and secures financial sustainability.
- Be a visible and credible ambassador for Love Squared, helping to build our national profile and champion our values.
- Ensure safeguarding, governance and accountability remain at the heart of all we do.
- Build strong partnerships with funders, commissioners and collaborators across the statutory and voluntary sectors.
About you
You will bring:
- Proven senior leadership experience in a values-driven organisation, ideally within charity, education or social care.
- Strong strategic, operational and financial skills, with the ability to lead through change and growth.
- A collaborative leadership style that inspires trust and brings out the best in others.
- A genuine commitment to inclusion, safeguarding and trauma-informed practice.
- Imagination to see opportunities where others see obstacles and resilience to lead with warmth through uncertainty.
Above all, you will share our belief that love is not a soft word. It is a radical act that can transform the way children and families experience care, learning and hope.
