Help lead an ambitious national charity helping children do better at school.
Parentkind is the UK’s largest parent charity. We champion the role of parents in education, support parents and PTAs across the country and work directly with schools through our Parent Friendly Schools accreditation. This year we celebrate our 70th birthday and are looking for someone to help lead our organisation.
This is an exciting time to join us. With a new Chief Executive, a new strategy and an ambitious programme of change underway, Parentkind is entering an important new phase. We want to grow our impact and income, building a stronger organisation capable of making an even greater difference to parents and children.
We have a strong national profile and use it to represent the voice of parents in education. We support thousands of PTAs and parent groups across the UK. We are growing Parent Friendly Schools and want to strengthen our approach to partnerships and commercial income.
Over the years ahead, we want to grow Parentkind and our Parent Friendly Schools accreditation to make an even bigger difference.
To help deliver that ambition, we're looking for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) who is passionate about growing the organisation so we can achieve more for parents across the UK.
The role
As CFO, you will be part of a two-person Executive Leadership Team, helping to lead Parentkind.
This is about much more than managing our finances. You'll help lead the organisation, make important strategic decisions and support Parentkind's growth.
You'll provide leadership across finance, governance and operations, helping us balance commercial thinking with our charitable purpose. You will lead our approach to income generation, including PTA membership and Parent Friendly Schools, and help identify new commercial opportunities. You'll play a pivotal role in Parentkind's future.
Why this role matters
Parentkind is at an important point in its development. We have strong foundations, a reputation for credibility and a growing range of services that support schools and parents. The need for our work has never felt more important. Schools face increasing challenges, parents need our support and stronger parental engagement in education can improve outcomes for children.
