Role description: Chief Executive / Director
North Tyneside VODA is seeking an experienced Interim Chief Executive Officer to join us from 23 November 2026, providing clear, visible and hands-on leadership during a period of transition while our Board recruits a substantive Chief Executive.
Working closely with our Chair and Board of Trustees, you will take overall responsibility for the effective day-to-day leadership and management of VODA. You will provide stability and confidence for our staff, trustees and partners, maintain momentum on existing priorities and ensure our services continue to be delivered effectively.
This is a varied and hands-on leadership role with responsibility spanning our people, finances, services, funding, partnerships, governance and organisational risk. You will also maintain VODA’s important role as a trusted advocate for the VCSE sector in North Tyneside, building strong relationships with voluntary and community organisations, public sector partners, funders and commissioners.
We are looking for an experienced senior leader who can step into the role quickly, understand the organisation, establish priorities and build trusted relationships.

Experience within the VCSE or wider public service environment would be particularly valuable.
This is a North Tyneside-based role requiring a visible and accessible leadership presence. Previous experience as an Interim Chief Executive is desirable but not essential.
