Are you a charity leader with a passion for promoting and supporting breastfeeding across the UK?
A unique opportunity has arisen within a national breastfeeding charity to lead the organisation through an exciting new phase of development.
The Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (ABM) is looking for an inspiring and dynamic new chief executive in our first ever paid leadership role. This role will bring together trustees, staff and volunteers to build and develop the work of the charity in pursuit of our vision: to create an environment where women and families are supported to have a positive breastfeeding experience, and lactation is valued.
You will have significant experience in a leadership role within a charity or healthcare setting, and will lead on the implementation of our new organisational strategy. The CEO will provide both strategic leadership and operational management, and develop a sustainable income generation plan to secure the long-term future of the charity.
As the public face and spokesperson for the organisation, you will have excellent communication skills, along with the broader skills and experience needed to collaborate with a diverse and complex volunteer team.
The ideal candidate will have a strong commitment to the ABM’s ethos and values and solid experience in a senior leadership role.
