Police Care UK traces its roots back to 1926 following the merger of the charities Police Dependant's Trust and the National Police Fund. Our mission is to reduce the impact of harm on police and their families across the UK.

The Charity is currently undergoing a period of growth and development and has transformed from a traditional benevolent organisation to a leader in the blue light sector. This exciting phase is allowing us to expand both our services and our reach. With our office based in Woking, Surrey, we operate throughout the UK to deliver groundbreaking research, innovation, and evidence-based action that supports the police community in coping with the impact of policing. Our work has included targeted projects within police forces aimed at improving wellbeing as well as providing emotional and financial support to serving and veteran officers, staff, and their families.

This is a unique opportunity to lead the UK’s national policing charity into its next era of growth, innovation, and impact.

With over £30 million in reserves and a decade of transformation behind us, we are now poised to scale our services, deepen our impact, and invest in the future of policing welfare. We are seeking a Chief Executive Officer who can lead this next chapter with vision, compassion, and strategic clarity.

As CEO, you will be the driving force behind our strategic direction, operational excellence, and external influence. You will oversee investment in new service lines and innovation in trauma recovery and represent Police Care UK at the highest levels—with government, policing, media, and academia, whilst ensuring we remain fit for the future.

We are looking for a seasoned executive leader—ideally with experience as a CEO or Executive Director in a mission-driven organization with a track record of organisational growth and innovation, along with emotional intelligence, and a commitment to supporting our Police Officers in their time of need.

This is a role for a leader who can wear many hats—strategist, spokesperson, mentor, and operator. Someone who thrives in complexity, leads with humility, and is driven by purpose.

It is an exciting time to join Police Care UK as we embark on a new strategy to build upon and further refine our services for those harmed in the line of service while protecting us all.
