Details of Role: 

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead a well-established local charity with a great reputation that makes a real difference in its community.  

We are an independent organisation that offers free, confidential advice to the people of Bristol. Working closely with a network of advice services in the City, we give people the knowledge and confidence they need to find their way forward, whoever they are, whatever their problem.  

We are now looking for an experienced leader who is excited about the opportunity to shape and deliver an ambitious vision for the future of Citizens Advice Bristol. Building on a strong foundation, the successful candidate will have the drive and energy to lead and develop a team of committed staff and volunteers. 

The Chief Executive Officer’s role is demanding and extremely rewarding – helping the organisation to evolve to meet current challenges and leading our efforts to secure resources and work with partners to provide an excellent advice service for Bristol citizens.  You will have proven leadership experience gained in the voluntary sector, though you may not have experience of advice services. You will be able to deliver strategic development and planning, financial and operational management, income generation, external relationships, and people leadership. 

As CEO, you will work with a committed and talented group of individuals in a dynamic – and sometimes challenging – environment, where no two days are the same. You will be supported by a strong and dedicated Trust Board that offers considerable flexibility and independence of thought and operation.

We recognise the positive value of diversity, promote equality and challenge discrimination. We welcome applications from under-represented groups with protected characteristics, as we value having a diverse pool of applicants to find the best person for the role. We look forward to hearing from you.
