Alexandra Rose Charity is transforming access to fresh, healthy food for families on low incomes. Through innovative programs like Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg and Fruit & Veg on Prescription, we are pioneering financial incentives that improve nutrition, tackle food insecurity, and support local markets. As we enter our next phase of growth, we are seeking a bold, values-driven Chief Executive Officer to lead us forward; scaling our impact while staying true to our mission of ensuring everyone has access to affordable, healthy food.

The successful candidate will bring:

  • Proven strategic leadership experience within a mission-driven organization.
  • Experience of successful fundraising and stewardship of major funders
  • A track record of scaling impact, income, and influence while maintaining a strong commitment to social change.
  • Demonstrated ability to engage stakeholders across government, healthcare, and community sectors to drive policy and programmatic innovation.
  • A deep commitment to inclusion, equity, and ensuring that healthy food is accessible to all.

If you believe in a future where everyone, regardless of income, can access fresh, nutritious food and are ready to lead a movement for change, we’d love to hear from you. For more infomation please refer to the recruitment pack attched as a PDF.
