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.

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.

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.
