ABOUT RNIB

At RNIB, we’re committed to creating a world without barriers for blind and partially sighted people. With around two million people in the UK currently living with sight loss— and that number expected to rise significantly— we believe the time for change is now.
We’re looking for a visionary Chief Executive Officer to lead RNIB into its next chapter. This is a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on society and improve the lives of blind and partially sighted people across the UK.

JOB DESCRIPTION

• Championing RNIB’s 10-year strategy to ensure every person with sight loss can live the life they want to lead.
• Driving innovation, organisational resilience, and long-term stability.
• Growing income through commercial ventures, partnerships, philanthropy, and maximising customer experience.
• Advocating for the sight loss community, influencing public policy and public perception.
• Fostering a high-performing, inclusive, and values-driven culture, embedding lived experience at the heart of RNIB.
• Ensuring robust governance, risk management, and financial stewardship.
• Leading cultural transformation and organisational change.

THE SUCCESSFUL APPLICANT

• Proven executive leadership experience in complex, high-profile environments.
• A track record of delivering strategic change and organisational growth.
• Strong advocacy and stakeholder engagement capabilities.
• Experience working with non-executive boards and leading transformation.
