Job description

We want someone who thrives on challenge, can instigate, and deliver change and work across boundaries. You will understand the value of social action and infrastructure support in the voluntary and community sector?

Building on the highly regarded work of our departing Chief Officer, we want to continue our progress. In a world recovering from the pandemic and lockdowns we want a new Chief Officer who has the skills, experience and drive to take on significant challenges, seize opportunities and create a sustainable future for our unique organisation. This will involve support for the VCSE in Leeds, as well as managing our trading subsidiary (VALYOU).

You will be resilient, adaptable, innovative, and persuasive with the ability to maintain, develop and create new relationships with key Leeds agencies. Whilst believing in the values and ethos of the VCSE, you will be able to take and deliver difficult decisions to provide a sustainable and agile organisation in these constantly changing times.
