About Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope is one of the leading substance use organisations in Wales, supporting over 10,000 individuals each year. Founded in 1968 within an urban church, it was established with the ambition of promoting harm reduction. The name "Kaleidoscope" reflects the coming together of various aspects of youth culture, including mods, rockers, teddy boys, hippies, and Hell's Angels, all of whom were welcome. The organisation embodies these values to this day, providing support to some of the most complex and vulnerable individuals in society on their journey with substance use, and aims to create a safe, non-judgmental environment.
About the role
Are you ready to make a difference? Join Kaleidoscope, the leading drug and alcohol charity in Wales, as our CEO and help shape the future of services for vulnerable individuals. You will drive innovation, foster collaboration across a diverse network, and ensure that those we support are at the heart of service design. By promoting co-production and addressing the root causes of substance use, you will empower people to find their own paths to recovery. If you're passionate about creating impactful change and leading a dedicated team, Kaleidoscope is the place for you.
Who we are looking for
Kaleidoscope is at a crucial juncture in its journey, seeking a dynamic leader to guide us into the future after being led by the same family since 1968. We need someone full of drive and motivation, with a deep understanding of our mission, who can embrace new ideas and take calculated risks. You will be a tenacious trailblazer and a compelling advocate, able to influence policy on substance use and harm reduction while fostering connections with government and strategic partners. If you have experience in the non-profit sector, strong political acumen, and the passion and resilience we seek, we want to hear from you.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, particularly those from underrepresented groups or with protected characteristics. Kaleidoscope are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive, and diverse workplace where everyone can thrive.
Applications close at 9am on Friday 29th November.
Benefits: We have a flexible approach to colleague benefits at Kaleidoscope and will agree the additional benefits with the successful candidate.
Today Kaleidoscope runs substance use projects across Wales and supports upwards of 10,000 people a year, but our story begins in Kingston upon Thames. It’s 1968 and sex and drugs are the height of fashion. Pubs close their doors at 11pm, unrest brews in the streets and large brawls erupt. A safe place is needed for Kingston’s youth to gather.
Kaleidoscope, set up within an urban church, became that place. The name reflected the shattered pieces of youth culture coming together, be they mods, rockers, teddy boys, hippies or Hell’s Angels – everyone was welcome at Kaleidoscope.
