Location: Offices in Croydon and Ayrshire - Remote Working considered<br />
<br />
Charity People are delighted to be partnering with WAVE Trust (WAVE), to find their next CEO to lead the organisation in the exciting next stages of the charity's development.<br />
Dedicated to making the world safer by reducing the root causes of violence and child abuse, WAVE is a strategic international charity established in 1996. Founder and CEO, George Hosking, and his team have worked tirelessly, developing a highly respected name for WAVE as the UK's prime charity in the field of prevention, building a solid foundation based on remarkable results. WAVE is in an excellent position today - ready for a new CEO to carry on the mission to make large-scale social transformation a reality.<br />
<br />
<br />
About the Role<br />
<br />
WAVE is looking for a dynamic individual with management experience and a record of high achievement. The new CEO must have a passion for supporting victims of violence, including child abuse, neglect and domestic violence, with a commitment to driving the organisation towards its goal of 2030. WAVE is committed to achieving a 70% reduction in key Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) by 2030 - the 70/30 Initiative ('70/30').<br />
<br />
The new CEO will work with WAVE's senior management team, a very engaged Board of Trustees, and key external stakeholders, to develop and implement the growth strategy of WAVE.<br />
The new CEO will have the ability to engage with policy makers and a wide range of partners across the UK, maintaining WAVE's reputation as an independent organisation. He or she will be responsible for maintaining existing (and creating new) partnerships to continue growing WAVE's impact and influence. He or she will assume managerial and operational responsibility for developing WAVE's UK network of individuals, organisations and elected representatives working together towards achieving 70/30.<br />
