Barnardo's has announced that Jane Stacey will be taking over from Chris Hanvey as the new director of Operations and deputy chief executive.
Stacey will be taking on this role within the charity from April 1, 2010, leaving her current position as Barnardo's director south west.
She has worked for Barnardo's for 13 years, as director for Cymru overseeing a major transition in Wales when the country achieved National Assembly status and creating a clear Barnardo's Cymru identity.
Later as director south west, Stacey was responsible for significantly expanding the number of Barnardo's services to meet the needs of disadvantaged children and families throughout the region.
Martin Narey, Barnardo's chief executive said: "I'm delighted that Jane will step up from her management of the South West to head up all our services for children. I know that she will be as successful with this new challenge as she has been in the South West where, under her leadership, Barnardo's has seen substantial growth."
