CEO

The Key is a charity committed to inspiring young people to believe in themselves, especially those facing challenging circumstances. We work with nearly a hundred organisations across the North East who use the KEY+ Challenge to empower young people to use their voices, take part in activities and projects meaningful to them, build their skills and confidence, and become more active in their communities.

We are seeking a Chief Executive Officer to continue our journey. We’ll be working in areas where deprivation and poverty are prevalent, with young people who are facing additional barriers. We’ll need to deliver on the funding pledges we’ve already secured, and we’ll need to continue to secure new funders.

Our CEO vacancy creates a brilliant opportunity to play a vital part in supporting young people to create inspiring stories at an important time in The Key's long-standing history. You will experience the difference our support makes to young people and witness the inspiring stories of their ideas, development, and progression. It’s the fuel that drives and motivates us to achieve more and we hope it drives you too.
