A small but highly influential campaigning body which represents the citizen and consumer interests in broadcasting and new media is seeking an experienced Executive Director to work with the Honorary Chairman and Board to develop the organisation and expand its services.
Voice of the Listener & Viewer (VLV) is a non-charitable, private company limited by guarantee (registered no. 4407712). Some of VLV's charitable activities are supported by its sister charity, The Voice of the Listener Trust (registered no. 296207).

The Executive Director will be required to:
Support the Honorary Chairman and Board of Directors in the strategic and developmental management of the organisation and develop and help execute strategies for fund-raising and membership recruitment across the UK.

Experience of managing volunteers and of working in the voluntary sector or for a membership organisation;
Proven leadership, management, fund-raising, financial and administrative skills;
