Chief Executive £110k - £120k • based Stratford, London, with regular UK travel After experiencing the trauma of war, violence and persecution, refugees have been forced to leave everything behind. The loss of the life you have always known is crushing. Refugees want to feel safe and stable again. But finding and settling into a new community when you don't know anyone is harder than most of us can imagine. As the nation's refugee charity, the Refugee Council's response is simple. Together with community groups, partners and volunteers, we help people who have escaped war and persecution to rebuild their lives, integrate into communities, and play their part in Britain. Since 1951, we have offered a steadfast vision of decency and compassion, rooted in dignity and shaped by the belief that everyone deserves the chance to live in stability and to thrive. As we embark on our 75 th year, there couldn't be a more critical time to join us as our new Chief Executive. It's an incredible opportunity to lead an organisation which makes a direct difference to hundreds of people every single day, yet which also has the track record, reputation and strategic capacity to play an important and essential role in shaping the political and public debate on one of the defining issues of our time. There are very few organisations with this reach and impact. We want to hear from people with an impressive and well-balanced skillset spanning organisational management, finance and governance, as well as outstanding influencing and communication skills. You'll need to quickly win the respect and engagement of colleagues throughout and beyond the organisation, so credibility, competence and integrity are essential. We're looking for someone with first-hand understanding of how senior leaders shape and embed strong, mature cultures that and drive effectiveness. Resilient, brave, committed, and accountable, you'll bring an optimistic leadership style infused with energy and determination. Please visit to find out more and to apply.
