Are you a visionary leader passionate about advocating for a world where women and children live free from abuse, violence, oppression, and homelessness?

In its 50 years The Haven Wolverhampton has supported women, children and young people by providing safe, emergency accommodation and community-based support services, along with a 24-hour telephone helpline, a web-based live chat and one-to-one support in a safe environment.

We are seeking to appoint a highly resilient, effective leader of organisations and teams, with strategic vision and values strongly aligned with The Haven Wolverhampton’s vision, mission and purpose.

We strongly anticipate that our major contract with Wolverhampton City Council will be extended until July 2026; this offers an exciting opportunity for a new CEO to drive the re-commissioning process and implement plans effectively.

As the figurehead of the Charity, our new CEO will:

Drive our mission and strive towards realising our vision - achieving positive impact daily;
Inspire and empower our team and partners to deliver and continually evolve our exceptional service and support;
Ensure that The Haven Wolverhampton continues to be a long-standing centre for domestic abuse and homelessness within the city;
Help to influence the social and political agenda in our sector; and
Be a leading voice when it comes to ending Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).

If this is you, and you’re ready to be committed to this rewarding challenge, apply today by submitting your CV and a covering letter.

This post is restricted to women due to the nature of the role. The Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.

Closing date: 19.1.2025

Proposed date for interview: 5.2.2025
