Full-time, permanent
Chelmsford

Blesma - The Limbless Veterans is a national charity and membership association for those who have lost limbs or the use of limbs, or their eyesight, speech or hearing in service or as a result of service in Her Majesty's Forces. Our Members also include ex-Service men and women who lose limbs or eyes, or lose the use of a limb through a traumatic incident after service.

Rehabilitation, support, counselling, and care are the four principal foundations of our organisation.

Our mission is to help our Members to rebuild their lives by providing rehabilitation activities and well-being support that includes their dependents and in particular their widows and widowers.

We also campaign for our veteran's rights and provide practical support by offering Members and their families a comprehensive grants and welfare system.

Together, we can help our men, women and their families face the challenges ahead with renewed confidence and self-belief.

We are now seeking a new Chief Executive to play a critical role in leading our dedicated staff team in the provision of the best possible continuing support to our Members, protecting and sustaining the values of service and mutual support and respect that we hold so dear, and ensuring that Blesma can look forward to a thriving future for as long as our services are required.

The role requires substantial senior leadership experience in contexts and settings that are directly relevant to the social care, welfare, health, and wellbeing support that Blesma delivers to its members.
