CEO opportunity at Barrow Cadbury Trust

Our CEO, Dame Sara Llewellin, has done a great deal to establish Barrow Cadbury Trust as a thought leader in the philanthropy and civil sector, and her successor is now being recruited. This is a rare opportunity for an inspirational leader, adept at strategic thinking and with a passion for Barrow Cadbury Trust’s vision and mission to join us and make a lasting difference.

The applicant will need to have a profound empathy for the values and aims of the Trust. With experience of high level leadership, the next CEO will work closely with the Chair, Board Executive Team and other staff to ensure all the organisation’s resources – our people, our skills, our money/endowment, and our reputation – are put to effective use in the vigorous pursuit of our vision, mission and values. You will be an enthusiastic advocate of the sector and its infrastructure, able to utilise strategic communication as a cornerstone approach to effective campaigning and influencing.

This is a unique opportunity. The applicant will need to bring an appreciation of the complexities of creating structural change, a successful track record of developing and implementing strategy, and a history of advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, which Barrow Cadbury Trust has a strong commitment to. We encourage applications from people with personal experience of the social justice issues we’re working on.

We are supported by our recruiting partner, Green Park in this recruitment process. To read more about this role and how to apply, please visit this microsite.
