The role
The primary purpose of the Chief Executive’s role is to lead and manage the effective running of the charity and the successful delivery of our five-year strategy and our broader charitable aims.
Over recent years, National Voices has become highly influential and demand for our services has grown significantly. We now face a challenge around how we harness this increased demand effectively and organise ourselves to ensure we use every project to deliver on our current strategy. This also means putting the process in place to ensure that we can deliver multiple large contracts simultaneously and consistently, while continuing to deliver for members and staying true to our values.
The next Chief Executive will therefore need to lead the continued evolution of National Voices’ operating model. This means strengthening collaboration across teams, embedding shared ownership and accountability, and ensuring that our systems, planning processes and ways of working support an organisation where colleagues at all levels can contribute, lead and thrive.
The key dimensions of the role are:

• Providing inspirational, inclusive and values-led leadership that supports staff, members and Lived Experience Partners to contribute their best work.
• Creating and modelling the culture required for National Voices to achieve its mission, ensuring that inclusion, co-production, learning and accountability shape how decisions are made at every level of the organisation.
• Strengthening our operating model so that we can deliver complex, multi-year programmes consistently, sustainably and to a high standard.
• Sustaining our growth by continuing to diversify our income and build our reserves.
• Putting members and people with Lived Experience at the heart of what we do, creating meaningful opportunities for them to shape our priorities and contribute actively to our work.
• Acting as a credible and influential leader for the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in health and care.
• Representing the organisation on national stages and with key stakeholders in support of our influencing goals.
