Job description

Emmaus Mossley is a thriving, values-driven community that supports people who have experienced homelessness by offering a stable home, tailored support and purposeful work experience. We don’t offer short-term fixes; we provide the environment, structure and relationships people need to rebuild confidence and create lasting change.

As we approach our 30th anniversary, Emmaus Mossley is entering a pivotal chapter. We are looking for a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead our charity and community into the future: strengthening companion support, evolving our social enterprise, and ensuring our historic site remains safe, sustainable and fit for purpose. With a long-serving and much-loved CEO retiring, this is an important moment of transition and opportunity.

We are seeking a visible CEO who is grounded in humanity and strong on leadership. Someone who can balance strategic thinking with day-to-day involvement; who listens, brings people with them and leads with empathy, clarity and purpose.

This is an exceptional opportunity to make a tangible difference, lead a respected charity, and shape the future of a community that changes lives every day.
