Two vacancies: Executive Director, Advocacy Director

ECC’s Executive Director is retiring, after eight years with the organisation. This creates an exciting opportunity for a new leader to guide the organisation through its next phase of development, building from a position of strength. The organisation is in the first year of a clear and ambitious three-year strategy, with a strong core team of staff and a healthy financial position.

The outgoing Executive Director was previously also the organisation’s Advocacy Director, and continued to deliver both functions within one role. For this reason the Board of Trustees is advertising the position in two configurations. Applicants are welcome to express an interest in either:

Option A — Part-time Executive Director. A 0.6 FTE part-time post which is a leadership and management role only, and does not include delivering the advocacy activities of the organisation. These will be undertaken by a separate part-time Advocacy Director, who carries the advocacy responsibilities covered by the associated Advocacy Director job description.
Option B — Full-time Executive Director. A single full-time post in which the successful candidate takes on both the part-time Executive Director role and the responsibilities of the part-time Advocacy Director role being advertised concurrently. The successful candidate must meet the person specification requirements of BOTH roles.

Candidates who are only interested in the part-time Advocacy Director role can apply for this as a stand-alone position.

Please read the job description and person specification for both roles carefully. If you would like to have an informal conversation about these opportunities before applying, please contact .

Closing date for applications for both roles is midnight, 19 July. First round interviews are expected to take place (online) in week commencing 27 July.
