In the summer of 2024 Dads Unlimited was at a pivotal moment marked by the stepping down of its founder, and characterised by a significant increase in service demand, and the need to ensure long-term sustainability, with the Interim CEO playing a critical role in steering the charity through this transitional phase.
They sought an aspiring individual with the ability to provide strong, empathetic leadership to inspire confidence among staff, volunteers, trustees, and stakeholders; with a strong empathy for their work; the ability to effectively oversee daily operations; lead efforts to diversify funding streams through grants, partnerships, and donor engagement; act as the face of the charity; assess the current organisational structure and recommend necessary adjustments to support future growth and resilience; and foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and adaptability.
All of which would demand an outstanding individual with proven experience in leading organisations through periods of change, preferably in the charity or social impact sectors, strong financial acumen, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the men we support and the resilience, empathy, and a solutions-oriented mindset to navigate complexity and inspire confidence.
