The Leprosy Mission (TLM) International is a leading international Christian development organisation with 140 years' experience and is part of the TLM worldwide family. TLM serves the poorest of the poor, raising funds to provide life-changing healthcare, education, training, housing, clean water and job opportunities for people who have only ever known suffering and rejection.

The Leprosy Mission Trading (TLMT) is 100% owned by The Leprosy Mission International. It exists to raise funds and awareness for the charity by selling a range of products through its mail order and growing Ecommerce channels. TLMT fulfils its purpose by engaging new and existing supporters in TLM's work through selling branded TLM items, communicating the life-changing service TLM provides to people affected by leprosy, and by helping to provide livelihoods for these people that TLM serves.

It raises funds through its profits, as well as selling virtual gifts and products made by artisans affected by leprosy/disability. The organisation's artisan product ranges support people affected by leprosy socially and economically, helping them lead a dignified life, whilst demonstrating one area of the rehabilitation work TLM is involved with.

You will have either a proven record of delivering sales and profit growth through your marketing/procurement and/or developed entrepreneurial/business skills. You will have proven strategic management skills and be a dynamic and inspirational leader.

TLMT require a committed Christian to lead this exciting organisation. TLMT is a Christian charity, and part of the CEO's role is to represent the Mission's purpose and ethos to external audiences, to provide Christian leadership and to inspire churches and individual Christians to pray for the Mission's work. There is therefore an occupational requirement for the CEO to be a practising Christian.
