I am so delighted to be sharing these amazing executive role opportunities to join our Trust. I talk a lot about having the best job in the world and I very much hope that you too will be inspired by our aspirations and vision as an ambitious Charity making a difference each and every day for those people we support and for our brilliant staff and partners.

As a national charity and not-for-profit organisation, Camphill Village Trust has for almost 70 years been providing a range of predominately land based “green” care, support, activities and accommodation for people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health challenges and complex needs within an adult social care context.

Our aim is to provide healthy, active and independent living through a “Life of Opportunity.” Our programmes aim to create life skills, education and volunteering through real life enterprise, hospitality and social farms and gardens as well as providing high quality supported living.

Since our beginnings in North Yorkshire in the 1940s, the work of Camphill Village Trust has grown and we have a network of 10 communities delivering services across England, including communities in North Yorkshire, Hertfordshire, the West Midlands, and Gloucestershire. In total Camphill Village Trust provide homes and support to around 400 adults, and a further 150 adults attend day services.

This is a turning point for us at the Trust, with a clear vision to look to our history to shape our future and to aim high as an exemplar and a national leader in Green Care and Environmental Sustainability.

I am seeking two mission critical Executive Directors to work with me to put the meat on the bones of future strategy and to drive our audacious transformational vision.  Do you see yourself as someone ready to make a significant, measurable, and effective personal contribution to the overall leadership of the Trust? If so read on….

Lots of information has been provided about us, our future direction of travel, our hopes, and ambitions as well as details about the role(s), and what I am really looking for in each. If either sounds exciting to you and you have the passion, experience, and skills to help us achieve our ambitious vision, I’d love to hear from you.

Good Luck!
