Contract

Fixed term until 3 Jan 2025

Gingerbread exists to fight for the 2 million single parents in England and Wales and their children. With roots stretching back over 100 years, we have a long history of highly effective campaigning that has redefined the regard for single parents and a track record of delivering well-respected, single-parent-focused services. We are working to achieve our vision of a world in which all single parents and their children thrive.

Against the backdrop of the cost-of-living crisis, too many single parents are currently battling to feed their families and pay their bills each month. Our work is as important now as it ever was. We will seek to grow our income and reach, taking a systems-change approach to discrimination and attitudes and a programmatic approach to delivering our services and campaigns.

The landscape will continue to be challenging for many charities like ours. With less funding available and higher delivery costs, we must ensure that we remain agile and resilient for the future to respond to opportunities as they arise. We are looking for a skilled Interim CEO to join us on a nine to twelve-month contract basis and help drive improvements across the organisation.

We are looking for an experienced leader with exceptional strategic and operational skills gained in the charity sector. You will have good project management skills and experience in leading change management or continuous improvement programmes. You will also have a collaborative and selfless style, with the ability to inspire those around you and instil confidence at all levels.
