As the National Body for Neurodiversity, The Donaldson Trust (‘Donaldsons’) strives to lead by example to enhance public understanding of neurodiversity, foster excellence in practice, and empower neurodivergent individuals to find their voice.
We believe there is a genuine opportunity to create positive societal change – making a difference with, and for, neurodivergent people. As our new Chief Executive, you will drive the organisation’s future strategy, focusing on broadening our reach, increasing our societal impact and influence, and amplifying neurodivergent voices. Ensuring that neurodivergent individuals remain central to everything we do will be your guiding priority.
As Chief Executive, you will enhance and build upon Donaldsons’ profile by fostering strong networks with a diverse range of stakeholders. Acting as the organisation’s primary ambassador, you will champion awareness of neurodiversity and issues facing neurodivergent individuals and raise the profile of both the organisation and its impact at both a local and national level.
As a visionary, ambitious, compassionate, and forward-thinking leader, you will bring a proven track record of achievement in a senior strategic role. You will have expertise in resource and budget management, delivering long-term financial sustainability. With strong commercial acumen, you will balance mission-driven objectives with the long-term financial health of the organisation, and your high levels of political acuity, emotional intelligence, and advocacy skills will empower you to champion neurodivergent individuals and their families.
This role presents an exceptional opportunity for a dynamic leader to make a significant impact within an organisation committed to transforming the lives of neurodivergent individuals.
