OneKind is now recruiting a Chief Executive to lead this small charity through an important stage in it’s development.  As a relatively new charity, but with a 100 year history of activity, we need to deliver our core programmes and increase our profile while consolidating and developing our fundraising.

The advertised role requires the successful candidate to lead and manage a small organisation which has big ambitions.  As Chief Executive you will be responsible for delivering the organisation's business plan and ensuring that OneKind has the funding and profile to be successful in the present environment.

To do that, your first priority will be overseeing the new fundraising strategy and supporting OneKind's fundraising efforts. We expect you to work closely with the governing Board of Trustees to ensure the effective financial, legal and moral governance of OneKind.  You will need to be able to oversee programme delivery and bring the best out of the small committed team; delivering the strategic aims of OneKind in a creative and inspiring way that will engage others.
