Job Title: Chief Executive
Contract: Full Time
Location: Buckfastleigh, Devon with regular travel (flexible working requests considered)
Salary: £55,000 – £60,000
Annual Leave: 28 days plus bank holidays
Go Beyond (formerly CHICKS) is a charity delivering free, residential breaks for young people in desperate need. We are extremely proud of our journey so far, having helped nearly 17,000 children from across the UK step away from the challenges and pressures of their day–to–day lives, creating lasting, positive impacts on their confidence, self–esteem, and wellbeing.
The opportunity to join as our new Chief Executive comes at a challenging but exciting moment for the charity, at a pivotal time in our journey. We have taken some big steps forward in 2020, recruiting 8 new, highly experienced trustees to govern and guide the charity, developing a new strategy and implementing a much needed rebrand from CHICKS to our new name, Go Beyond.
Whilst our immediate focus is on resuming operations and fulfilling our purpose of helping young people, we are keenly looking towards the future. We want to better leverage our assets, resources and expertise to support more young people than ever before. To do so, we need to be more creative in the types of breaks we offer, who we can offer them to and how we fund them. We wish to grow but we must do so responsibly and sustainably, ensuring our service is there to be enjoyed by generations to come.
Our new Chief Executive will take us on the next stage of our journey. We are looking for an energetic, passionate leader who shares our vision and can make change happen. They will motivate our team, inspire our supporters and, above all, deliver outstanding, life–changing experiences to our young people.
Core Responsibilities:
Leadership
Business Management
Finance & Risk

Core Requirements:
Recent experience working in a senior leadership role within a charity or NGO, ideally one supporting children and/or young people.
Experience of working directly with a governing Board.

Experience of building, managing, developing, and empowering teams, preferably in multiple locations; evidence of successful staff engagement, linking organisational values with employee behaviour.
Experience of managing budgets and communicating financial information to internal and external stakeholders
Ability to lead or oversee income generation from a wide range of sources including statutory funding, trusts and foundation, trading income and individual giving.
Excellent communicator with high degree of emotional intelligence and empathy; comfortable speaking publicly.
