We are looking for a new CEO with the experience and motivation to design service extensions, develop business plans at a Sussex scale and collaborate with charities, institutions and agencies.

The role is to build upon the recognition of our achievements to date, to coordinate, grow and engage. The work AirS does will appeal to applicants with a genuine interest in sustainable community development.
As CEO you will lead our talented team to increase our public profile through your advocacy, championing and relationship building skills. You will report to the Chair of Trustees, working collaboratively with the Trustees. You will also collaborate with a variety of charities, institutions and agencies, all with shared interests in our work.
We are seeking an energetic ‘all-rounder’ - a proven leadership professional who will roll their sleeves up and deliver. You will have a demonstrable track record of successful delivery as a Chief Executive Officer, or similar senior leadership and strategic roles, ideally in a not for profit/charity/third sector environment. The work AirS does will appeal to applicants with a genuine interest in sustainable community development.
You will have outstanding communication and liaison skills, along with sound financial and contract management expertise. Drawing from your previous experience you will help to design, implement and deliver our financial, people, operational and commercial objectives.
