Job description

Lead an organisation where community, practical support and a belief in change help people rebuild their lives.

For more than three decades, Kairos Community Trust (Kairos) has stood alongside people affected by addiction and homelessness, offering the structured services, relationships and opportunities that make recovery possible.

As Chief Executive, you will lead an organisation with strong roots, committed people and a clear understanding that nobody should be defined by their past.

You will be joining Kairos at an important point in its journey. The organisation has a proud history, a distinctive community ethos and services that make a tangible difference. The opportunity now is to protect what makes Kairos special while bringing the confidence, vision and drive needed for its next chapter.

This role offers real breadth. You will have the space to shape strategy, strengthen financial sustainability, develop partnerships and income, support an experienced team and ensure people with lived experience have genuine voice, choice and influence.

You will also work with an engaged Board that wants the next Chief Executive to bring openness to innovation, honest challenge and inclusive leadership.

For the right person, this is the chance to combine strategic leadership with meaningful human impact. You will see the difference the organisation makes and have the opportunity to extend that impact to more people.
