Reporting to: Policy & Advocacy Advisor

The organisation  

United for Global Mental Health was founded in January 2018. It exists to support and unite the global effort to promote good mental health. Through our campaigning, advocacy and financing work, we aim to create a world in which everyone, everywhere has someone to turn to in support of their mental health. Since 2018, we have worked with a variety of international and national partners to help us reach this goal.

The Initiative:    

The WHO Constitution and several UN human rights declarations affirm everyone’s right to the highest attainable standard of mental health. However, many countries’ laws and policies fall short of enabling this. Human rights violations and barriers to access persist, often due to the prioritisation of institutional care over primary and community-based services, and the existence of discriminatory laws, such as those criminalising suicide. Addressing these issues is a key focus of UnitedGMH’s human rights pillar under its current three-year strategy.

The Role: 

You have the opportunity to join this initiative, working as part of a global policy, advocacy and financing organisation that puts its national partners and persons with lived experience of mental health at the forefront of their advocacy efforts.

Bringing love, imagination and kindness to children and families’ services.

Love Squared exists because so many children are brave. Children who, despite overwhelming anxiety, still find the courage to support their friends, join therapeutic groups or offer kindness to others. 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.

At Love Squared, we believe that you have to care deeply if you want to transform outcomes. We bring love, imagination, nurture and bravery to everything we do, creating long-term change for children and families who need understanding most.

About the role

We are seeking an exceptional Chief Executive to lead Love Squared through its next stage of growth and development.

This is a role for someone who can lead with heart, head and hands, combining compassion with commercial acumen and creativity with operational rigour.

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.
