About REMIX

REMIX is a start‑up, youth‑led social mobility charity transforming young lives across London. Based in Shoreditch, we empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to unlock their potential, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through nurturing mentorship, inspiring role models, and transformative opportunities.

We are in the early stages of building something bold, vibrant, and community‑powered — and we’re looking for a visionary CEO who can lead REMIX through its start‑up phase and into a thriving, sustainable future.

The Role

We are seeking a passionate, entrepreneurial, and people‑centred Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to drive REMIX forward with clarity, ambition, and heart. As a start‑up charity, we are building our programmes, culture, systems, partnerships, and long‑term strategy — and your leadership will be central to shaping every part of our journey.

This is a hands‑on, collaborative role for someone who thrives in early‑stage environments, enjoys building from the ground up, and believes deeply in youth empowerment and social mobility.

Time commitment: 5–10 hours per week, including:

• Bi‑monthly Board meetings

• Working groups and leadership sessions

• CEO duties, planning, partnership‑building, and organisational development

Key Responsibilities

As CEO, you will:

• Provide inspiring, strategic leadership as REMIX grows from start‑up to established charity.

• Work closely with the Board of Trustees to develop our vision, programmes, and long‑term strategy.

• Build strong relationships with partners, funders, community organisations, and stakeholders.

• Lead on operational planning, programme development, and organisational systems.

• Shape REMIX’s culture — empowering volunteers, uplifting young people, and championing our values.

• Oversee safeguarding, risk management, and compliance with charity regulations.

• Represent REMIX externally with confidence, warmth, and credibility.

• Drive innovation, opportunity, and growth across all areas of the charity.

This role blends leadership, creativity, operational oversight, and community engagement — perfect for someone who enjoys variety and impact.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous CEO experience — we welcome people stepping into senior leadership for the first time. What matters most is your passion, your drive, and your ability to lead with purpose.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.

• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and excited by building something new.

• A strong communicator with excellent people skills.

• Confident working collaboratively with Trustees, volunteers, and partners.

• Equally comfortable working independently and taking initiative.

• Organised, reliable, and committed to our mission.

• Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and community‑minded.

Experience in charity leadership, youth work, programme development, fundraising, or organisational growth is beneficial — but not essential if you bring strong leadership potential and a willingness to learn.

Why Join REMIX?

• Lead a start‑up charity with huge potential and a powerful mission.

• Shape the vision, culture, and long‑term direction of a youth‑led movement.

• Build programmes, partnerships, and systems from the ground up.

• Work with passionate Trustees and volunteers who care deeply about young people.

• Gain senior leadership experience in strategy, governance, and organisational development.

• Make a meaningful, lasting impact on the lives of young Londoners.

Looking for a role where you can drive forward cancer prevention and earlier diagnosis within an innovative, impact focused research charity?  

The Eve Appeal is recruiting up to 3 new Trustees to the Board with additional opportunities to join other Committees of the Board such as our Finance and Audit Committee or Research Committee. 

The Eve Appeal is the leading gynaecological cancer charity. There are five gynae cancers, which are womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal cancer. Our aim is to prevent gynae cancers from developing in the first place, but if they do develop, we want to make sure they’re detected early so more people survive their diagnosis.

To make our goals a reality, we fund research in four key areas: uncovering the causes of gynae cancers, predicting a person’s risk of developing them, identifying how people can reduce their risk, and improving their detection and diagnosis.

We educate; we increase awareness and we provide free confidential and expert information through our Ask Eve nurse service.

We are now looking to strengthen our Board and are seeking candidates who share our commitment to driving forward medical research, raising awareness and promoting education around how these diseases can be diagnosed at the earliest stage or prevented.

We are committed to broadening the range of backgrounds and perspectives represented on our Board. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian, Disabled, Working Class and younger candidates, as well as individuals based outside London.

We also strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience—including patients, survivors, carers and family members. Bringing in Trustees who are expert by experience adds valuable insight and perspectives into the emotional, practical and systemic challenges faced by those affected, enriching the Board’s understanding and improving decision‑making. 

We have a highly skilled Board of Trustees and are looking to broaden and strengthen skills in the following areas: 

• Fundraising and philanthropic giving. We have seen incredible success with our fundraising programme in recent years and are now particularly focused on building our major gifts programme 

• Digital, AI tech solutions and strategy. We are ambitious to adopt solutions across all areas of our activity that embrace digital technology 

• HR / People. Experience across culture, staff and volunteer wellbeing, effective recruitment skills and organisational culture experience 

• Research / medical / NHS strategy and delivery experience. Experience in the UK / and or international health sector (private, public, academic).

Becoming a Trustee 

You will help lead the Board’s responsibilities across all areas of governance including strategy development and staff mentoring, evaluation and impact, ensuring donor and beneficiary aspirations, commitments and needs are met and the charity is fulfilling all of its charitable objects and agreed strategic objectives.

You will work within the legal and regulatory framework set out by the Charity Commission and will be supported by the CEO and senior staff team at Eve to enable you to do this effectively. You will have exceptional communication, interpersonal and analytical skills with the confidence and ability to ensure decisions are actioned in a timely manner. 

This is a voluntary role, with reasonable expenses reimbursed. In return you’ll gain valuable experience and satisfaction, and the opportunity to develop your skills and utilise your expertise and knowledge. 

People from all backgrounds are welcomed, as The Eve Appeal aspires to build a committed and diverse board that reflects our beneficiaries and communities.
