Join to apply for the Head of CEO office and Governance role at English Heritage.
Heritage is for everybody, and we are here for heritage. Heritage lives in places and people, memories and stories, artefacts and traditions. It can connect us all to the past, and to each other. It can make us happier, strengthen every community, and help shape society for the better. Everybody should be able to enjoy the benefits it brings. That's why, as a charity, we care for over a million objects and hundreds of historic sites in every part of England, from international icons to local treasures. And it's why we open them up, share their stories and find new ways for everybody to enjoy, learn, play and create.
A rare opportunity has become available for the position of Head of CEO office and governance. The role is full time working 36 hours per week. You will be working directly with the Chief Executive who is based principally at our London office, so regular travel to London will be necessary. You will also be expected to travel occasionally to our other offices and sites nationally.
Benefits
* Salary from £71,070 p.a. (note inner London salary from £78,966 p.a. / Greater London salary from £75,018 p.a.) depending on skills, experience and location.
* 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, pro rata, rising to 28 days after 3 years.
* Matched pension contributions up to 10%.

This role sits within the Chief Executive Office and brings together a series of functions in support of the Chief Executive, Chair and Board. You will provide oversight and coordination of English Heritage's strategic plan by ensuring actions are delivered effectively and efficiently. You will support the Chief Executive in problem solving where work has stalled or is held up and contribute to ensuring we are seen as a collaborative and accessible organisation within the sector. You will also ensure that English Heritage follows effective, transparent and accountable, first-class governance procedures which comply with the highest standards and fulfil charity and statutory requirements.
To be considered as our Head of CEO office and governance, you will be extremely organised, an excellent problem solver with a strong track record of delivering complex programmes. You will be able to positively engage stakeholders and be able to influence and persuade effectively; you thrive on achieving results and driving change.
Interviews will be held in person on Thursday 3rd April 2025 at our English Heritage offices, 100 Wood Street, London.
