Co-Executive Director, Growth, Partnerships and Delivery

Not your usual executive role. Not your usual organisation.

Salary: Up to £100,000 FTE

Location: Home-based, with regular UK-wide travel

Closing date: 9am on Monday 14 September 2026

NDTi is recruiting a Co-Executive Director, Growth, Partnerships and Delivery.

NDTi has spent almost 35 years helping people, organisations and systems make inclusion real. We work where good ideas need help to move forward, where people’s voices need to be heard, and where evidence, lived experience and relationships can unlock practical change. Our work is broad, our values run deep, and our strength is in joining up insight, people and action.

This is a senior shared leadership role for someone who can help us strengthen partnerships, income, profile and influence, while staying close to the people, practice, relationships and values that shape our work.

Our Co-Executive model is central to how NDTi works. This is neither a traditional Chief Executive role nor a deputy role. It is an opportunity to share responsibility for a values-led organisation where leadership is collaborative, relational and grounded in trust, challenge and collective strength.

We are looking for someone with senior leadership experience, strong judgement, and a deep understanding of the worlds NDTi works alongside, including social care, health, inclusion, rights, public systems, lived experience, community and system change. You will need to understand what needs to change, why it matters, and how to build trust with funders, commissioners, government and national networks while staying grounded in practice, delivery and people’s real lives.

You may be right for this role if you can:

· turn ideas into fundable work that makes a real difference

· build trusted partnerships with funders, commissioners, government and sector networks

· bring credibility in consultancy, development, facilitation or programme delivery

· strengthen NDTi’s national profile and influence

· stay grounded in practice and people’s real lives

· lead with confidence, humility and trust in others

· work with complexity, challenge and shared responsibility
