Chief Executive Officer

As our next CEO, you will lead our dedicated team of c40 staff and around 100 volunteers, oversee the delivery of our strategic goals and act as the public face of the charity.

You’ll work with and advise the Board of Trustees in relation to Pecan’s activities, governance, performance and strategic direction.  You’ll be a key link with external stakeholders including funders, the Council, the Peckham churches who are our Members and develop increasing links with other charities / bodies working in similar fields in the area.

A key part of your role will be to raise local and wider awareness of our activities, bring in new funding, and contribute to the public discourse on alleviation of poverty in Southwark.  You will embody our values of Kindness, Faith and Hope.

As a Christian charity, there is a genuine occupational requirement in our Articles for the CEO to be a Christian and a part of your role will be to nurture key relationships with local churches, so you’d be comfortable in a church context and to pray with and talk to them about opportunities to support the work of Pecan.

Volunteer Trustee/Treasurer Opportunity – Make a Meaningful Impact
with Marfan Trust

Are you a chartered accountant with charity experience looking for a way to give back in a meaningful but manageable way?

Marfan Trust, a small UK-based medical charity, is seeking a dedicated voluntary trustee to help us continue our work supporting over 3,700 families affected by Marfan syndrome – a rare inherited heart and connective tissue condition. This is an opportunity to use your skills to truly make a difference in people’s lives.

As Treasurer, your commitment would average around 15 hours per month. This includes attending quarterly remote board meetings (1.5 hours each), authorising payments, and liaising with a range of stakeholders such as our accountant, staff, auditors, investment advisor, and fundraisers. You’ll also play a key role in interpreting and explaining financial reports, forecasts, and goals to fellow trustees, ensuring sound financial governance and strategy.

This role offers the satisfaction of contributing to life-changing research, support services, and public education – all while working flexibly from home. It's ideally suited to a semi-retired or retired chartered accountant with an interest in heart or eye health, who’s ready for a new challenge that brings purpose without overloading your schedule. Join us in improving the length and quality of life for those affected by Marfan syndrome.
