This role is an exciting opportunity for a passionate and skilled training developer to join our growing charity, to develop two eLearning courses that support our goals to train school chefs nationwide. This role will transform our existing flagship Chef Educator programme into a bitesize eLearning course and create a new School Food Standards course, making high-quality chef training accessible, practical and engaging for every school chef. Who we are Chefs in Schools is a young, ambitious charity that s rapidly growing. Our mission is to improve kids' health, through improving school food & food education. We focus our efforts in areas of high socio-economic deprivation, where more than a third of children are entitled to free school meals, and diet-related disease is driving further inequality.

We share learning and resources, aiming to inspire and enable others to follow our lead. We re backed by some of the biggest names in food and have ambitious targets to ensure every child has access to incredible school food and food education, setting them up for life with the skills and knowledge to feed themselves well.

Second, you will lead the creation of a brand-new eLearning course focused on School Food Standards, ensuring every school chef has the tools to meet modern nutritional and quality benchmarks. The course will be made available to all school chefs nationwide and is therefore required to be accessible and easily digestible to all types of learners. This short course will provide the bedrock to understand the School Food Standards, to ensure compliance and improvements can be made nationwide throughout school kitchens. Training for school chefs is currently not mandatory, nor commonplace, a core mission of ours to change, therefore the online-only courses need to truly meet the requirements of trainees, with every minute of training being practical, engaging and delivering high-impact.

Become the new CEO of Kids Out and provide positive experiences for the UK's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children. KidsOut's vision is for a society in which every child who has experienced domestic abuse has the chance to experience joy, hope and the simple pleasures of childhood. We bring fun and happiness to the lives of children living in refuge. As Chief Executive Officer (CEO), you will lead the implementation of the new 2030 strategy and work with a dedicated Board and staff team to achieve this by offering unwavering support for children in refuge across the UK. Who we are KidsOut's mission is to bring moments of joy, fun and hope that aid the healing and recovery of children impacted by domestic abuse. We provide passionate and unwavering support for children in refuge across the United Kingdom and create joy-filled experiences that empower each child to overcome adversity, unlock their full potential and flourish in a nurturing and inclusive environment. Through dedicated efforts, we aspire to be a beacon of hope, cultivating brighter futures and fostering a community where every child feels valued, loved and equipped to gain the positive future they deserve. KisOut has been supporting disadvantaged children for over 35 years. We started in 1990 when the first-ever Children's Day Out took place, and since then, over one million disadvantaged children have experienced a day out. Last year we: Supported over 20,000 children who are in refuge fleeing domestic violence. Delivered over 15,000 Toy Boxes and over 150,000 toys. Took over 57,000 children out on Fun Days. Delivered over 340 enriching workshops through a diverse range of partners and programmes. Donated 175 digital devices to children in refuges, to help them with their schoolwork. Offered over 5,500 food vouchers during school holidays so children can stay nourished during the holidays. About the role As we enter 2026, we are continuing to focus our efforts on supporting children in refuge, enabling us to provide a greater concentration of support to some of the most disadvantaged children in our society. To empower this focus and the growth, we are seeking a new CEO. It is an exciting time to join KidsOut as we shape and implement our 2030 Strategy with a dedicated internal team of Board and staff, and with the external community of stakeholders that work alongside us. Who we are looking for You will be a compassionate, collaborative and experienced leader with a track record of dynamic and positive growth in a charity or relevant child-centred organisation. Someone who will value and motivate both staff and board members and our community of external stakeholders. You will be a leader with significant experience in growing strong stakeholder relationships with partners, families, young people and a community of staff, volunteers, funders and supporters. As CEO, you will ensure compliance whilst also having the commercial skills to grow KidsOut's income to a stronger financial position. As a strategic and hands on individual, you will inspire others and grow impact and value as an ambassador and role model. With a track record as a thoughtful and impactful leader, you will bring equity, inclusion and an appreciation of the importance of children and their well being and safeguarding, which is at the heart of KidsOut. Above all, you will uphold KidsOut's mission of helping to rebuild children's lives after trauma. To view the role description and person specification, please go to the 'How to Apply' tab above, fill in your details and download the job pack. For further information about the role or to arrange a confidential discussion, please contact our advising consultant at Peridot Partners: If you would like to know more about this role please contact Marie McQuade Thank you so much for your interest in joining KidsOut. As someone famously once said, 'Children are the future'. But for many children, the future is less bright and more than just a little uncertain. Children represent a group of very important people that a great many charities care deeply about and look to help. And one of the fundamental entitlements that EVERY child should feel safe and have life enhancing experiences that help them experience fun and happiness. It should be a natural part of growing up - it comes with the territory of being a child. And we all know that happier children make for happier, well rounded adults. But many children don't have the same experience as perhaps we did when we were growing up. For them, the world is very different. One of the things that makes the plight of children in refuge so heartrending is that it isn't their fault. They didn't choose to have an abusive parent or adult, which meant they had to flee their home, friends, school and leave any semblance of normality behind, ending up in a women's refuge at the other end of the country with nothing but the clothes on their back. Yet the impact of this hugely traumatic event can cast a long shadow not only over their childhood but often over their entire future too. KidsOut is a unique organisation, because we help children at a time when their world is quite literally torn apart. We focus on delivering experiences and toys for children that provide happiness, an experience that every person craves. For us, the measurements of success are smiles, happy memories and hope. We want the children we serve to know that someone cares. Helping them create memories that will last a lifetime can make all the difference. And that hope is crucial - children knowing that there is happiness out there, priceless. We appreciate that happiness is transitory, so we work with other charity partners who help to deliver longer term solutions too. Whether that relates to mental or long term health, or disability issues, our focus is not solely on the short term. We want the children we help to reach a place where they can be happy in the long term. It's a very interesting time to be joining KidsOut. We're about to sign off on a new strategy taking us to 2030, and our new Chief Executive Officer will help us set, embed and deliver our priorities. The economic context is challenging, and like most charities, our margins are tight. But you will be able to utilise your unique skills to help the board and executive team leverage their combined creativity and experience to make KidsOut resilient for the future. This is an amazing opportunity to help reshape a nationwide children's charity for the next decade and take the breadth and scope of what KidsOut is able to deliver to a whole new level. We look forward to discussing the CEO role further with you.
