Everyone deserves good mental health. The Mental Health Foundation is the UK's leading charity focused on the prevention of poor mental health. For more than 75 years, we have combined research, policy, campaigning and public engagement to challenge the causes of poor mental health and drive lasting change. Today, mental health outcomes across the UK are worsening, particularly for children and young people. While services remain focused on responding to crisis, we believe prevention must become the foundation of the UK's approach to mental health. Our new five-year strategy, A Call to Act: Fighting for Prevention in Mental Health sets out an ambitious vision to achieve that change. Why we are recruiting After eight successful years, our current Chief Executive will be stepping down, creating an exciting opportunity for a new leader to guide the Foundation through its next phase of growth and impact. The organisation enters this transition from a position of strength: a clear and ambitious strategy, a talented and committed team of around 70 staff across the UK, strong finances, a respected national profile, a supportive Board and committed Chair. The opportunity As Chief Executive, you will be the chief ambassador of the Foundation. You will lead the delivery of our new strategy, strengthen our influence with governments, policymakers and partners, and ensure we continue to grow our impact and income. Working closely with the Board, a highly capable Senior Leadership Team, supporters and partners, you will champion prevention as the solution to the UK's mental health crisis, helping to shape policy, public understanding and systemic change across our priority areas: Championing prevention : so that we can prevent mental health problems before they take root, tackling the causes instead of waiting to treat the symptoms. Online worlds : so that people are protected from harm and are more mentally healthy in their online activity. Bullying and discrimination : so that children and young people are protected from the life-long harms these can lead to. Working lives : so that young people can thrive in mentally-healthy workplaces that support their wellbeing. This is an opportunity to lead one of the UK's most respected charities and improve the lives of millions of people. Who we are looking for We are seeking an inspiring, values-driven leader with the credibility, ambition and vision to take the Foundation forward. You will bring: Significant senior leadership experience as a CEO, Executive Director or similar SLT role A proven track record of leading organisational growth, impact and fundraising success Outstanding communication and strategic partnership-building skills Experience of engaging and influencing senior stakeholders, policymakers, funders and the media, to effect change Strong strategic, financial and organisational leadership capability A collaborative leadership style that empowers and develops others A commitment to equity, inclusion and the Foundation's values Knowledge of mental health, public health, prevention, related research, or campaigning would be highly advantageous, though we welcome applications from candidates with transferable leadership experience and relevant insights from closely adjacent or intersecting sectors. Join us This is a rare opportunity to lead a nationally respected organisation at a pivotal moment for mental health in the UK. If you are passionate about creating long-term social change and have the leadership skills to inspire people, influence systems and deliver impact at scale, we would love to hear from you.
