Arnos Vale Cemetery Trust (AVCT) the charitable Trust that runs the iconic heritage site Arnos Vale Cemetery, is seeking a new Chief Executive.

Arnos Vale is a working heritage cemetery, site of ecological significance and much-loved community and tourism destination and charity, hosting an annual calendar of walks, talks and events and winning a number of prestigious local and national awards.

As we look to the future, AVCT seeks to continue its development – being recognised as a national centre for ‘Life and Death’ while operating with financial sustainability.  To achieve this we require a new Chief Executive to drive the organisation forward by maintaining our recent operational and commercial success whilst transforming our fundraising operational ability, as we seek to achieve Museum Status with a new nationally important museum space focussing on death and memorialisation. This will be embodied in a new 5-year plan to be devised with the Trustees, consulting with our key stakeholders such as the Friends.

The successful candidate at CEO will need strategic insight, exceptional interpersonal and influencing skills, be an excellent communicator with a proven ability to lead staff and teams along with a good grasp of finance, governance and reporting.
