Engage with Age seeks new Chief Executive Officer

Posted on: February 26th, 2025

Marianne Skelcher, Chair of the Board of Trustees for Engage with Age says:

“After nine successful years our Chief Executive is moving on, and we are now looking for the right person to pick up the leadership reins.

It is a great time to be joining us at Engage with Age. We are just coming to the end of year two of a three year strategic plan, we have great relationships with our core funders and are in a good position financially, despite the challenges facing all organisations in the charity sector, which are not to be underestimated.

We are looking for someone who is empathetic, energetic, passionate and positive, and who understands the needs, vulnerabilities and strengths of older people, recognising their value and contribution to society. The successful candidate will be an excellent leader and creative problem solver, possess strong financial acumen, and a well-developed ability to build and nurture sound relationships with funders and other stakeholders.

If you fit the bill, we would be delighted to hear from you.”

The deadline for applications is 4pm Friday 28th March 2025.
