Job Description

We are seeking a dynamic and values-driven Chief Executive Officer to lead our organisation into the future. As a senior management professional, you will be responsible for overseeing the development and expansion of new clubs and services across Greater Manchester, including planning and executing the build of our new community centre and additional youth centres.

You will drive the growth and success of our residential services and outdoor activities, maximising the use of our Ormside Mill Residential Centre as a hub for outdoor education, affiliated club activities, and residential trips. You will also build and nurture strong relationships with local authorities, council members, and community stakeholders, acting as a public representative for the charity to enhance our profile and secure additional funding and partnerships.

As a strategic leader, you will ensure robust governance, financial sustainability, and compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks while actively engaging in fundraising initiatives to support our growth objectives. You will have significant experience in a senior management role within youth services, outdoor education, or a related field, with strong financial acumen and experience managing budgets, ensuring financial sustainability, and driving fundraising efforts.

You will have an in-depth understanding of charity governance, regulatory requirements, and compliance, with the ability to navigate the complexities of public sector partnerships. You will also have experience working with Boards of Trustees, providing strategic guidance, and ensuring effective governance.

We are looking for a candidate who combines strategic leadership with hands-on management experience, ideally within youth services or a related field. You will be a proactive leader, capable of developing and delivering long-term plans while remaining ready to 'roll up your sleeves' and engage with the community when necessary.

This is an incredible opportunity for an ambitious leader to make a profound difference in the lives of young people across Greater Manchester. We are in a strong financial position, supported by endowments and recent multi-year funding, which allows us to focus on our ambitious growth plans.
