Chief Executive Officer vacancy
Deadline 24th January midnight
​
Live Unlimited is seeking a new Chief Executive Officer to make a lasting impact to the lives of care experienced young people.
​
We are a small charity which punches above our weight. Over the last seven years, we have supported hundreds of vulnerable care-experienced young people* in Barnet through our range of programmes and opportunities, with life-changing results.
As our impact report shows, our opportunities really do make a difference; from helping looked after children and care leavers feel more confident and positive about themselves, supporting them into meaningful new jobs, developing new skills, reducing stress and anxiety, and making them feel equal to their peers.
We are passionate about empowering the care experienced young people we support through our schemes. We are empathetic in our approach and our staff embrace our core values of collaboration, inclusion, encouragement, inspiration and partnership. We promote lived experience leadership, providing growth opportunities such as peer mentoring and trustee roles.
​
We do this because we know the life chances of people who have been through the care system are not good: nearly 40% of care leavers are not in Education Employment or Training compared with 13% of the general population, 25% of the adult prison population are care experienced despite less than 1% entering the care system, with just 8% of care leavers going to university compared with 50% of the wider population.
​
You will be joining Live Unlimited at an exciting time as we look ahead to our next three-year strategy. We have a passionate and committed board of trustees and small and dedicated team of two Projects Officers and a Fundraiser. We have a strong track record of delivery and fundraising, and our reach is continuing to grow.
​
*A care experienced person a young person who is currently, or has previously been in local authority care. A care leaver is a young person aged 18 and above who has left care, but receives local authority support until the age of 25.
