Chief Executive

A national charity, our vision is to bring forward the day when people living with deafblindness or combined sight and hearing loss are able to live the lives they want to. In 2018, we will be celebrating 90 years since Deafblind UK was formed - we are enormously proud of our heritage but equally ambitious for our future. Weve seen a lot of positive changes over the years but for people living with combined sight and hearing loss, were entering a new era of possibilities. It is vital that we continue to change and innovate to ensure our services meet the needs of our growing membership and that we extend our reach to more people with deafblindness or combined sight and hearing loss and their families. At this pivotal point in our journey, were looking for a new Chief Executive to take us through our next stage of development and plan towards our centenary. Were seeking someone who recognises our heritage and the potential to extend our reach and impact in the future, and who truly embodies and instils our values and the needs of our membership. You will be an experienced, strategic leader with vision who can build strong relationships across our membership and key stakeholders. With a successful track record in leading organisational growth and improving operational performance you will bring experience and ideas for how to grow and diversify our services. You will naturally put our members and customers at the heart of everything we do.
