Job Title: CEO
Salary: £50k-£60k per annum
Contract: Full time, Permanent. Part-time (4 days per week) may be considered
Location: Winslow, Buckinghamshire
Established in 2001 as The Puzzle Centre, AES has a growing reputation for leading the development of ‘best practice’ in education and intervention for young children with autism and operates a specialist nursery, named Circle Centre. Due to increasing demand for specialist therapy for young children with autism, AES are expanding their operations and developing crucial Outreach services to support more families and practitioners.
About the Role
As CEO, you will be working closely with the Senior Management Team and the Trustee Board of AES, to set the strategic direction of the organisation, as well as being responsible for all charity operations and activity. Furthermore, you will be leading on budget, marketing and communications strategy and helping to support internal teams to meet targets and drive opportunities to increase and diversify revenue streams.
About You
Already operating as a CEO of a smaller charity or Director of a multi-discipline team, you will have extensive experience of managing the operations of a charity. You will be passionate, confident and engaging, with a truly collaborative leadership style. You will have direct experience of fundraising and finance in the non-profit sector, as well as having excellent people management skills and an inclusive, empowering approach. You will be emotionally intelligent and have an empathy and sensitivity for the cause, and the complexities of working in a special-needs education environment.
To succeed in this role, you will be able to demonstrate:
- inspirational leadership skills, ideally gained at an organisation of comparable scale and complexity
- a proven track record of successful income generation
- strong financial management skills and the ability to manage a budget
- excellent communication skills with the ability to nurture relationships with key partners, motivate the dedicated staff and volunteers and persuade others of the need to support the cause
- an understanding of the particular challenges of autism, especially in younger children. A specialist knowledge of autism would be an advantage but is not a pre-requisite
- The ambition and energy to drive forward the plans for expansion of Outreach services
