Chief Executive

PSPA is the only national charity offering support and information to people living with the rare, incurable, degenerative brain diseases called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). We provide much needed support to people and their families living with these devastating neurological conditions. We also invest in research to deepen our understanding of the conditions with the goal of reducing the time to accurate diagnosis and discovering treatments and an eventual cure. And since 2024 we have increased our investment in awareness raising of these relatively unknown diseases.

This is an exciting time to join us and we are now looking for our new Chief Executive to drive the charity forward with confidence and ambition. We are seeking a visionary and strategic leader with a deep sense of social purpose and a track record of leadership in a purpose-led organisation. There is enormous opportunity to grow our profile and impact and we are looking to you to expand our reach within the scientific community and look creatively at how we develop our services and innovate in an ever changing environment. Our life changing work relies upon the generosity of our supporters, donors and volunteers and you will understand income generation and bring exceptional communication and collaboration skills.

We are a small team and we are looking to you to motivate and empower our people and maintain our inclusive and collaborative culture. You will bring enthusiasm, passion and drive combined with empathy and sensitivity to our cause. Your collaborative approach and entrepreneurial spirit will enable you to lead our dedicated and committed team with purpose and energy.
