Job description
The Organisation
The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) is the UK’s leading children’s charity, driven by a single, unwavering belief: every child deserves to be safe, loved, and free from abuse. Established in 1884 and operating under Royal Charter, the organisation has spent more than 140 years working to prevent cruelty to children and create lasting change in their lives.
Today, that mission has never been more urgent. As the challenges facing children continue to evolve, from the risks of online harm to complex family circumstances, the NSPCC provides vital frontline support while also working to influence the systems that protect children. Each year, it helps make over a million children safer from abuse, with thousands of adults turning to its Helpline and children and young people relying on Childline’s 24/7 counselling when they have nowhere else to turn.
Working across all four nations of the UK and the Channel Islands, the NSPCC combines direct services, education programmes, and national advocacy to drive impact far beyond its immediate reach. Central to its work is a commitment to evidence-led practice, ensuring every action is informed by what works, and that the voices and experiences of children and young people remain at the heart of a safer, more protective society.
The Role
At the heart of NSPCC is its Services Directorate, delivering practical, child-centred support that helps keep children and young people safe. These services translate the organisation’s mission into action through prevention, therapeutic support, and strengthening safeguarding practice.
The Services Director will play a critical role in shaping the NSPCC’s future as a member of the Executive Leadership Team, leading the development and delivery of a national services strategy and overseeing a complex portfolio of services.
Key aspects of the role include:
- Leading high-quality national and local services that improve outcomes for children and young people
- Shaping and delivering the services strategy to support the organisation’s wider ambitions
- Driving integration and impact across NSPCC and Childline services
- Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders, including the Chief Executive, Board, and external partners
The Person
This is an opportunity for a collaborative, values-driven leader to navigate complexity, drive meaningful change, and make a lasting difference to children’s lives at scale. The successful candidate will demonstrate the following:
- Extensive experience and proven track record at Director level of successfully developing and delivering services, including co-production and collaboration with partners, in a complex stakeholder environment that have a measurably positive impact for beneficiaries.
- Highly experienced in child protection with demonstrable knowledge and experience of child safeguarding. A social work qualification will be highly advantageous.
- Proven experience leading and managing teams of functional experts, overseeing significant income and expenditure budgets, and driving operational performance through the setting and monitoring of clear, aligned objectives.
- Experience of designing and delivering transformational change and driving performance management using appropriate quality and management methods and models, to deliver efficient and effective services.
- Demonstrable understanding of the operational context for services including the commissioning and market environment.
- Experience of managing senior stakeholders, both internally and externally, and confidence in dealing with, and influencing, senior employees and volunteer colleagues, and producing and imparting clear and non-technical advice and information.
- Values the different skills and attributes of others, utilising the insight, experience and expertise of colleagues.
- Experience of representing an organisation at the highest level. Clearly articulates a compelling vision, focussing on both what the future might hold and the more immediate stepping stones to realise those outcomes.
- Challenges constructively and evidences a willingness to receive constructive challenge in order to drive our individual and collective efforts forward.

Job description
At Target Ovarian Cancer, we exist to identify and tackle the biggest challenges in ovarian cancer so that it doesn’t limit life.
Too many women are diagnosed late. Too many face barriers to treatment, unequal access to care, or don’t get the support they need. We’re here to change that and we’re at a point where we can go even further.
To do that, we need strong foundations that allow us to grow our impact with confidence. That’s where this role comes in.
Why this role matters
This is not just a finance leadership position. It’s an opportunity to shape how a national charity delivers life-changing impact.
As a key member of our Senior Leadership Team, you will help ensure we have the financial strength, organisational resilience, and operational excellence needed to transform outcomes for women affected by ovarian cancer.
You’ll work closely with our CEO and Board to guide critical decisions, ensuring we’re building something ambitious and sustainable.
What you’ll lead
You will provide strategic leadership across the organisation’s core foundations:
- Financial sustainability – ensuring we can invest boldly and responsibly in our mission
- People and culture – building an inclusive, supportive environment where colleagues thrive
- Governance and risk – maintaining trust, accountability and strong decision-making
- Data and technology – enabling smarter, faster, more impactful work
You’ll bring clarity to complexity, strengthen our foundations, and help us grow with confidence and purpose.
Who we’re looking for
You’re a values-driven leader who combines commercial acumen with a deep commitment to impact.
You might come from the charity, public or private sector — but what matters most is that you:
- Understand how strong financial leadership enables real-world change
- Build trusted relationships and influence at the most senior levels
- Lead teams with empathy, clarity and high expectations
- Care deeply about equity, inclusion and improving outcomes for others
- Are motivated by the opportunity to use your expertise for a meaningful cause
A recognised accountancy qualification (or equivalent experience) is expected.
Equity, diversity and inclusion
We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive organisation, and particularly welcome applications from people currently underrepresented at senior levels, including those from Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic backgrounds, and disabled or neurodivergent candidates.
If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process or in the role itself, we’ll work with you to make that happen.
Why join Target Ovarian Cancer?
Because this is a moment that matters.
We have a clear strategy, a powerful mission, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference — from improving early diagnosis to strengthening support and amplifying the voices of those affected.
You’ll be joining a passionate, collaborative organisation that is committed to being:
- Supportive
- Expert
- Pioneering
- Empowering
- Impactful
Alongside this, we offer flexible working, strong wellbeing support, and a culture that values your growth and contribution.
Apply
If you want your leadership to make a tangible difference — not just to an organisation, but to lives — we’d love to hear from you.
Send your CV and cover letter via the link by Sunday 17th May, midnight.
For an informal conversation about the role, please reach out to our exclusive recruitment partner, Bryony Thomas, via the Allen Lane agency website.
We reserve the right to close the application process early. As such, we highly recommend an early application.
