Money Ready – formerly My Bnk – is one of the UK's leading financial education charities.
For nearly twenty years we have been making a genuine difference to people's financial lives, working with children in primary schools, young adults navigating their first jobs and first tenancies, and adults facing some of the hardest financial moments of their lives.
In 2024–25 we supported over 58,000 learners across all four nations of the UK.
The need for our work has never been more urgent.
Only 40% of young people aged 16 to 24 feel confident managing their money, and poor financial literacy sits at the heart of homelessness, unemployment and declining mental health.
Our strategy, Money: A Language for Life, runs to 2030 and commits us to reaching people at the right life stage, to championing financial education as a right rather than a privilege, and to using our evidence and platform to create change well beyond our own programmes.
Following our rebrand as Money Ready in 2025 and our merger with Red START Educate, we are in excellent shape for the future: financially stable, strategically clear, with a UK-wide team of more than 70 people and a turnover of £5m.
The next chapter is about making the most of the foundations already in place.
Now's your opportunity to play a defining part as our new Chief Executive.
We're looking for someone who can own and deliver our strategic vision, grow our income and influence, and be our most compelling external champion.
Working closely with the Chair, the Board and the Senior Leadership Team, you'll lead with emotional intelligence, building a high-trust, high-performance culture in which our people, and the people we serve, can thrive.
You'll be assured, empowering and collaborative, with confident, mature and visible organisational leadership and a track record of skilled execution and delivery.
Your management experience will be commensurate with our scale, and an understanding of our operating environment – including public procurement and commissioning models – would be a definite asset.
This could be your first Chief Executive role or your next.
What matters most to us is not where you have come from, but what you believe – about financial education as a right, not a privilege, and about the kind of leader you want to be.
