Dementia is one of the greatest challenges of our age. It is now the UK's biggest killer, touching almost every family, and one in three people born today will develop it. The human, social and economic costs are profound, but so too is the opportunity to change what the future looks like. We are a c.£160m organisation with strong foundations, talented people and plans to grow our impact significantly. That means thinking creatively about investment, funding models and partnerships, and ensuring finance is a forward looking, enabling function that gives confidence to innovate, across research, services and system influence. You will shape how we grow, how we invest, and how we build the financial architecture that lets our researchers, services and campaigners take bold, well-founded decisions. That means reimagining funding models. Building the case for transformational investment. Identifying partnerships and income opportunities that others haven't yet seen. And translating financial complexity into the kind of clear, confident insight that gives our Executive Leadership Team and Board of Trustees the courage to act. You are a qualified finance leader with a track record of operating at Executive and Board level in a complex, ambitious organisation. You bring genuine commercial creativity - an ability to innovate around investment, income and funding that goes beyond conventional financial management. You are as comfortable building relationships with external partners as you are providing rigorous governance and assurance.

A rare opportunity to lead one of Britain's most significant historic estates - Hestercombe Garden Trust Hestercombe is one of the South West's most significant historic landscapes, combining nationally important gardens, heritage buildings, and a vibrant programme of cultural and community activity. Set within a unique valley landscape, the estate brings together over 300 years of garden design, including the celebrated collaboration between Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, alongside earlier Georgian and later Victorian influences. Today, Hestercombe operates as an independent charitable trust with a mission to conserve, restore and share this remarkable place for public benefit. In February 2024, Hestercombe was awarded Full National Museum Accreditation, recognising the quality and importance of its collections, interpretation, and public offer. The estate welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each year and offers a diverse programme spanning horticulture, arts and culture, learning, and wellbeing. From formal gardens and woodland walks to exhibitions, events and seasonal programming, Hestercombe provides an accessible and inspiring environment for a wide and growing audience. While the organisation is currently navigating a period of formal Administration, this next phase marks a turning point rather than a conclusion. Significant progress has been made to stabilise the Trust's position, and we are now moving toward an exit from administration with a renewed sense of purpose. With a dedicated staff team, a loyal volunteer base, and strong community roots, the foundation for recovery is firmly in place. The appointment of a new Chief Executive and Board of Trustees is a pivotal moment of transformation. We are looking for leadership that respects our 300-year heritage while driving an entrepreneurial, resilient, and sustainable future. This is a rare opportunity to lead the regeneration of a site of national importance; shaping a legacy that ensures Hestercombe remains an inspiring environment for generations to come. Background The Trustees, together with the Joint Administrators of the Trust, are seeking to appoint a Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) to lead the Trust through an immediate restructuring phase and into the next chapter, securing a sustainable long term future. The CEO will play a central role in stabilising operations, supporting the exit from Administration, and delivering the strategic and commercial direction required to secure the Trust's viability and important heritage focus. The CEO will champion Hestercombe's artistic, horticultural, historic and ecological importance while strengthening commercial performance and visitor experience. They will have a deep affinity with heritage, culture and landscape. Due to a number of operational challenges and financial pressures, the Trustees appointed Joint Administrators from Forvis Mazars LLP on 1 August 2025 to protect the estate and stabilise operations. With fantastic support and hard work from the existing management team, staff and an army of volunteers, the Estate has successful continued trading under the supervision of the Administrators, who have been working with key stakeholders and benefactors to formulate a rescue and funding plan and secure a long term sustainable future of the Estate. It is intended that Hestercombe Gardens Trust will exit Administration within the next 6 months and return to the control of the Trustees, a newly appointed CEO and management team. The Joint Administrators and the existing Trustees are seeking to appoint a new CEO to create and lead a strategy that will ensure the long term sustainability of this nationally significant heritage estate. Purpose of the role The CEO will be responsible for: Overall leadership and management of the Trust. Create and lead the delivery of a strategic plan to support the preservation of this historic cultural asset and financial sustainability. Meet governance and regulatory requirements. Maintain strong relationships with key funders and partners during and after the Administration exit. Key responsibilities Provide clear leadership to the Trust, setting direction for the management team and wider staff. Formulate, deliver and support a business plan as part of the exit from Administration, including financial and operational milestones and ensure the Trust is positioned for long term viability.
