All We Can/Y Care International is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the charities into the next 5-year strategy of doing development differently.

At All We Can/Y Care International we want to see every person's potential fulfilled. We work through partnership alongside our global neighbours most impacted by disasters, poverty and injustice to enable flourishing and resilient communities.We are known for doing development uniquely, which means we steer away from traditional models of development.

Instead, we understand that overcoming the challenges of poverty, crises and social injustice are complex, and can only be achieved by working with local organisations who are rooted within their communities. They are best placed to unlock the potential in their own communities. We don’t lift people out of poverty, we tackle the systemic issues of poverty to support individuals in lifting themselves. We believe this to be the greatest way because listening to the lived experiences of communities improves equality, builds capacity, enhances shared ownership and sustainability.

In all we do, we're guided by values of: Love, Collaboration and Integrity.
