As our next Chief Executive, you will: Strategic Leadership & Direction - Set and deliver a strategy that balances growth, financial sustainability and strong employment outcomes for candidates.

Education & Programme Quality - Work with the Executive Director for Education to maintain high-quality, compliant specialist FE and supported internship provision. Organisational Leadership & Infrastructure - Strengthen operational foundations across finance, HR, systems and communications to support a growing, multi-site organisation. People & Culture - Provide visible leadership that supports staff, strengthens management and protects the charity's candidate-centred culture. Partnerships & External Profile - Act as ambassador, building relationships with employers, partners and supporters to expand employment opportunities. Governance & Board Partnership - Work closely with trustees and the founder to strengthen governance and ensure long-term sustainability. Who you are Seasoned senior leader with experience of running organisations of similar scale and complexity, including multi-site operations. Proven strategist with a strong track record of delivering organisational change, restructuring and sustainable growth. Confident commercial leader with P&L ownership and demonstrable success improving trading performance in hospitality, retail or other trading businesses.

Credible and committed to specialist education and employment pathways for people with learning disabilities. Strong communicator and public spokesperson, comfortable with high-profile fundraising and stakeholder engagement.

Desirable: direct hospitality experience, experience scaling social enterprises or knowledge of FE regulation/Ofsted would be advantageous. Why? A proven, distinctive model that delivers real, long-term employment outcomes for young people with learning disabilities. A rare leadership role that combines mission-driven practice with commercial stewardship across cafés, a roastery and a training pub. Hybrid working with regular on-site engagement at Pavilion Buildings and social enterprise sites, offering visible day-to-day impact. The opportunity to shape national growth, with London the priority for careful expansion and a high-profile platform to influence practice nationally.

The Gate brings people together from across the world to engage with theatre, performance, art and ideas. Founded in 1979 to stage ground-breaking international plays, the Gate has become a platform for radical artists, writers and directors from across the globe: known for its transformative ability to push the boundaries of what theatre is and could be. It is a place where creatives have been gathering to imagine storytelling differently, and where experimental thinking is front and centre. At a time when the world and our own nation grow increasingly insular, we believe it is important to foster communication and understanding across borders, across languages, across cultures. The Gate works with artists in the UK to tell stories from beyond our borders, celebrating the multiplicity of identity within our artists and our audiences through the power of theatre. As a home for new voices and new ideas, we also have a reputation as a training theatre. Gate shows enable artists to take risks and to develop and advance their own talent, and their own professional journey, by making high quality work that moves the artform and the sector forward. The monumental events of the pandemic have drastically changed the theatre landscape and ecology, with its effects being keenly felt through unpredictable audience behaviour, and rising costs. As the nation navigates the cost-of-living crisis, the arts continue to face devastating funding cuts and challenges, including the withdrawal of much local council arts provision and the increasing competition for resources across trusts and foundations At the Gate, we have used this moment of transition to interrogate both our founding mission and what the needs of the sector are today.
