The Helen Bamber Foundation Group
comprising the Helen Bamber Foundation and Asylum Aid, stands at the forefront of human rights work, providing life-changing support to survivors of trafficking, torture, and extreme human cruelty. For nearly two decades, they have delivered expert trauma-informed care, legal protection, and advocacy to some of the most marginalised people in our society.
As they settle into their newly developed Trauma Centre in London, the Group are entering a critical moment in their journey, building on their many successes to date. This purpose-built space represents more than just a new home for their services – it is a platform for expanding impact, strengthening their model of Integrated Care, and deepening collaborations with partners across the sector. We are seeking an exceptional Chief Executive Officer to lead them through this next phase, navigating a shifting external landscape while ensuring the organisation continues to thrive.
The human rights sector is facing immense challenges. Survivors’ needs are growing more complex, the policy environment is increasingly hostile, and resources remain constrained. The new CEO will meet these challenges with determination, building on the Group’s legacy of expertise to drive systemic change. You will have the opportunity to shape innovative service delivery, influence policy at the highest levels, and ensure that their voice continues to punch above its weight. As the leader of both charities, you will work closely with their highly skilled Boards of Trustees, including Lived Experience Board Observers, to ensure their work remains authentic, grounded in survivor experience, and impactful at scale.
We are looking for a leader with a strong track record of strategic leadership in the charity, non-profit, or social justice sector. An understanding of human rights and an aptitude for advocacy and influencing policy will be crucial, and we are particularly interested in your ability to build effective partnerships, enhance the Group’s external profile, and secure sustainable funding. The Helen Bamber Foundation Group has long been defined by ambition beyond its size, and your leadership will help them continue to deliver world-class support while making a lasting impact on the systems that shape survivors’ lives.
This role requires someone who can move seamlessly between strategic oversight and operational excellence, from representing the Group’s mission on national and international stages to inspiring a team of 75+ staff and 100+ volunteers. Most importantly, you will bring an unwavering commitment to justice, human dignity, and the rights of survivors – the values that have defined their work since their founding.
