We have an exciting opportunity to join Eczema Outreach Support (EOS) as its new Chief Executive Officer.
EOS is a UK-wide charity supporting children and young people with eczema and their families. Originally set up in Scotland in 2011, they now support over 3,500 member families living across the UK.
There is no clear cause of eczema, yet it affects 1 in 5 children in the UK, with severe cases often having devastating results. A child with eczema can spend hours every day treating their inflamed skin, only to face unbearable itching and uncomfortable flare- ups. There are endless sleepless nights, matched with unbearable days unable to concentrate, all compounded by the overwhelming isolation: being singled out just for looking different. Eczema Outreach Support want every child and young person with eczema to thrive and are looking for a new Chief Executive Officer to lead their small and impactful team to realise this ambition.
If you share the charity’s commitment to children with eczema and their families and are a confident, inclusive and compassionate leader with the skills we are seeking, then we’d love to hear from you.
