CHEM Trust’s overarching aim is to prevent human-made chemicals from causing long-term damage to wildlife and people by ensuring that chemicals which cause such harm are substituted with safer alternatives. We are a small, dynamic and influential environmental NGO, working mainly at the EU and UK levels. We are science-based, working at the science and policy interface. We work closely with NGOs, scientists and decision-makers in the UK, across Europe and globally.
We are now recruiting for a Chief Operating Officer to strengthen our organisation & deepen our impact.
This Chief Operating Officer will be a strategic partner to the Executive Director, bringing consolidated finance, people and operational experience and insights to strengthen our organisational resilience and extend our reach and impact. You’ll be part of a friendly and committed organisation that punches well above its weight, carrying out internationally important work that is done nowhere else in the UK.
This is a formative time to join us. We have grown considerably in recent years and now employ an amazing team of 12 people in the UK and a group of experts within the EU. We have a new Chair and have expanded our Board with new Trustees, who bring renewed ambition and strong skills and insights into our work and operations. We have just finalised our new organisational strategy, so you’d be coming in at a pivotal moment for the organisation. This is a real opportunity to use your skills and experience to shape the next stage of our development and growth.
This role is for 4 days per week (28 hrs), with at least 1-2 of these days at our London co-working office near Euston.
