Location - Cannock, Staffordshire |
Full Time, Permanent
Competitive Salary + Benefits
As one of the UK’s leading charities providing essential specialist equipment to children with disabilities, Newlife is dedicated
to making life better - for the families we serve, and for the people who help us to make that happen.
Through grants and emergency equipment loans, we ensure children get the vital equipment they need, when they need it, while our
free nurse helpline offers crucial support and information – as well as a listening ear. Our campaigns help to give children with
disabilities and their families a voice, advocating for change to benefit the families we serve. And we support adults with
additional needs with volunteering and employment opportunities, providing an introduction to the workplace and a means for career
development.
Across the whole of Newlife, our teams are crucial to our success – it’s not just a job; here you’ll be helping us to change lives
every day.
Make a life-changing impact for disabled children across the UK.
We’re entering an exciting period of growth and innovation, and we’re seeking a dynamic Charity Director to help shape our future.
As Charity Director, you’ll play a pivotal role in leading and strengthening the charity side of our organisation. Reporting
directly to the CEO, you’ll oversee service delivery, drive operational excellence, secure sustainable income, and ensure our

This role is perfect for an experienced charity leader with a proven track record of delivering strategic growth, leading
multi-disciplinary teams, and championing inclusion and innovation. You’ll act as a key ambassador for Newlife, building
meaningful partnerships and influencing change that improves the lives of disabled children nationwide.
Key responsibilities:
* Providing visionary leadership and supporting Newlife’s strategic goals.
* Overseeing day-to-day service delivery across equipment provision, family support, volunteering, and campaigning.
* Driving income generation and ensuring effective financial management.
* Strengthening governance, compliance, and organisational resilience.
* Acting as a spokesperson and ambassador to raise Newlife’s profile.
* Developing a high-performing, inclusive workplace culture where staff thrive.
What we’re looking for:
* Director-level leadership experience in the charity or not-for-profit sector.
* Proven ability to deliver strategic goals and operational excellence.
* Strong stakeholder engagement and public speaking skills.
* Commitment and passion for improving outcomes for disabled children and their families.
