Could you be our new Chief Executive?
Aspire is a Christian community-based charity on the Isle of Wight. In the 12 years since we began, we have grown from small beginnings to now running a number of community hubs and projects across the Island. We manage contracts on behalf of the local authority and have recently developed our first housing scheme supporting women exiting homelessness. We employ approximately 50 people across our services and have won both the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service and the IESE national gold award for innovation in health and social care. We are a well respected and well supported charity supporting many of the most vulnerable people on the Isle of Wight.
Our current Chief Executive is moving on after seven years in the role and we are now looking for a new Chief Executive to carry on and develop this vital work. You will be a committed Christian, able to demonstrate an active and vibrant faith. Experienced at leading and inspiring others, you will model a leadership driven by a passion to serve and compassion for those you are serving. Experience in areas such as Communications, Networking, Governance, Finance and HR would be beneficial but we are not expecting all of these skills in one person. Most important will be an obvious calling and equipping for this work, demonstrated through experience and commitment.
If you would like to understand more about the Charity and the role, please contact our current Chief Executive, Trevor Nicholas, on 07910 992475 or email trevor@aspireryde.org.uk

Over the past twelve years w have grown from a small start up charity to a large organisation delivering support across the Island through a number of community hubs and well as outreach services in other locations. We have recently moved into the provision of housing for people exiting homelessness and hope to grow further in the coming years.
