Who we are

The General Cemetery Company owns and operates the historic Kensal Green Cemetery. We are an historic company still governed by our founding Act of Parliament from the 1830s which is unique and highly prohibitive. To address this we are currently promoting a private bill through parliament which will allow us to transfer the ownership and operation of this remarkable site to a newly formed charity that will be better placed to care for one of the most significant heritage sites in London.


The role

Who we are looking for

We are seeking three high-calibre people. Each candidate should bring
depth in one or more of these priority areas:

  • Community engagement, education and volunteering
  • Capital fundraising, philanthropy and donor
    development
  • Public relations and communications
  • Legal expertise and governance

What you will bring

  • Significant senior leadership experience in the
    corporate, charity or public sector
  • Strong strategic judgement and confident
    decision-making
  • Excellent communication, collaboration and stakeholder
    management skills
  • Experience of working within, or closely with, a
    charitable organisation
