Salary: circa £160,000

We are the largest provider of drug and alcohol treatment services in the UK. We work with hundreds of thousands of people each year, but, in our society, a stigma still surrounds drug and alcohol use.

Many of the people we work live in the most deprived areas across the country, some are in the criminal justice system and many have faced serious challenges in their lives. This makes our work as rewarding as it can be challenging. But, with us, you’ll be able to make a real difference in communities.

We are now looking for a Chief People Officer who will play a key part in supporting significant organisational modernisation and transformational activities in the short, medium and long term.

You join us at an exciting time. We are evolving our approach. Already a highly successful delivery partner to government, local authorities and the NHS, we are looking to use our expertise and front-line insight to influence system-change. We want to use our abilities and resources to shape policy and public discourse. We want to convene and collaborate with other organisations to ensure as many people as possible are better supported to find the strength and resources within themselves to bring about the life and behavioural changes they wish to achieve.

As our Chief People Officer you will bring a profound understanding of the business, industry trends, and the external talent market to guide your planning and decision making. You will be at the forefront of cultivating an environment with our guiding principle of “Believe in People” at its core and be adept at navigating the complexities of a large, regulated, commercially oriented, values-driven, national UK charity. 

In keeping with our organisational values, we are looking for someone is open, compassionate and bold, and who shows consistently high levels of integrity, judgement and discretion. This is a special role, and we want to find a special person to hold it.
