Join to apply for the Chief Executive, Become role at Guardian Jobs

Around 84,000 children in England live in care. 7 in 10 children experience a change in where they live, where they go to school, or who their social worker is each year and 1 in 3 care-experienced young people become homeless within 2 years of leaving care.

Become is the national charity that’s here to support every child and young person with experience of the care system. They tell us what’s not working. Together, we fight to make change happen.

It’s a hugely exciting time to join Become. We've grown in recent years and are in a stable position to increase our impact and ensure a better care experience for children and young people across national systems. We've recently developed a new strategy and refreshed our brand to strengthen our voice. We have sustainable funding and a warm, welcoming culture with a growing team of passionate experts committed to transforming outcomes for care-experienced young people.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead an ambitious organisation, looking to grow the scale, reach and impact of our work. Building on our effective work, well-respected reputation and solid financial position, the CEO will work alongside our highly skilled Board and our passionate team to drive our strategy.

Our new CEO will:

• Maximise Become’s impact to deliver a better care experience for children and young people across national systems.
• Provide inspiring leadership in accordance with our values and shape an inclusive culture of high support, achievement and collaboration.
• Oversee our operations, campaigning and fundraising to ensure our delivery, influence and income are maximised.
  
  
  

We are looking to appoint a passionate and ambitious leader who brings:

• Experience of operating at strategic level (CEO or senior director), with inspirational leadership skills.
• A track record of enhancing reach and increasing impact within the charitable sector.
• Experience of reviewing scope and scale of delivery at a strategic level.
• Experience of acting as an ambassador and engaging with high level external stakeholders.
  
  
  

At Become, we're determined to create a truly inclusive, equitable workplace. We know this is an ongoing journey – and we're fully committed to it. As a charity supporting children in care and care leavers, we actively encourage applications from people with care experience as we know how vital their perspectives are within our team. We're also committed to building a diverse team that reflects the young people we serve, and we especially welcome applications from people from Black, Asian and diverse ethnic backgrounds.
