Chief Executive Officer – International Newcastle CIC
(including Festival Coordinator for Express Yourself: North East Festival of Languages)

What if your next freelance role allowed you to shape international opportunities for tens of thousands of children and young people, champion languages and cultures, and work at the heart of one of the UK’s most respected partnership models for schools?

International Newcastle CIC is seeking an experienced, values-driven Chief Executive Officer to lead the organisation into its next phase of development — a role that also includes coordinating the Express Yourself: North East Festival of Languages, the UK’s largest languages and cultures festival for schools.

As the current CEO is retiring, this is a rare and exciting opportunity for a senior freelance professional who wants flexibility, influence and real social impact. The role would start in July with a handover in June.

We are looking for someone with: Senior leadership experience in education, public, voluntary or related sectors; Strong partnership-building, project management and organisational skills; a commitment to equality, diversity and intercultural awareness; and confidence working independently in a freelance role.

Applicants may ask to speak to the current CEO informally and confidentially before applying, to provide an opportunity to discuss the role and ask any questions. Request a call or zoom appointment by email [email protected](link sends email)
