SUMMARY
We’re a membership organisation representing a community of over 1,500 people working in local democracy, across 320 councils in England and Wales. Our organisation is growing in scale, influence, and impact - so we’re looking for our first ever chief executive officer. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to take on a leadership role and to work with the ADSO board to deliver on our ambitious development plan for the future. Our chief executive will contribute to all aspects of the organisation’s development.
The main focus of this new role will be on:
- Developing our business strategy, promoting the vision and culture of ADSO and making sure we provide high quality support to our members.
- Overseeing the daily operations of the organisation, working closely with the ADSO Board and providing support and guidance to colleagues.
- Developing and maintaining relationships with our members and key stakeholders, and extending our networks across the wider democracy sector.
- Being the ‘voice’ of ADSO when required, representing the association at regional, national and international events and highlighting the positive outcomes of our members’ work.
- Creating new opportunities for the association, including ways of increasing income and membership.
This role is offered on an initial fixed-term contract basis, with the option to extend or become permanent. It is a part-time role, equal to 3 full days (24 hours) per week. The role is principally home-based, with travel required.
We are a flexible and inclusive organisation and we welcome applications from a variety of backgrounds.
