Who we are.
The Foxton Centre is committed to supporting whoever walks in the door with whatever they bring….
Since our inception, we have undergone significant changes, transitioning from a single centre with a small team to a more complex operation offering various services, including a 14-bed emergency accommodation facility and a women’s centre. Recent projects, such as refurbishing the day centre and plans for a new youth and community centre, reflect our commitment to growth and adaptation as we continue to serve our Preston community.
About the role.
We now seek a values-led CEO to play a pivotal role in steering The Foxton Centre through the next phase of its development.
As CEO, you will work with our committed board and dedicated staff team to continue reaching many people on the margins of city life from our local community bases.
Our new CEO should be ambitious and want to help develop our strategic approach to support. With strong operational experience from the third sector, we seek a leader with a proven track record of partnerships, change management and, most of all, a personal commitment to the mission of The Foxton Centre.
You will work with the Board of Trustees to develop and implement the organisation’s business plan and strategy, ensuring sustainability, growth, and success and providing dynamic leadership particularly with regards future development opportunities in the area of homeless and housing. Additionally, our Youth and Women’s services remain a priority.
People are at the heart of our organisation. As a collaborative leader, you will be skilled in working effectively and confidently across a broad range of stakeholders, creating new partnerships and seeking opportunities to ensure The Foxton Centre has a positive and inclusive culture where everyone feels valued and respected.
Who we are looking for.
We are looking for an exceptional and inspirational people leader to empower and motivate our skilled and high-performing staff, foster positive working cultures, and galvanise the wider team.
We seek an inclusive and enabling leader, someone entrepreneurial and purpose-driven, to lead the charity through this next phase while engaging with and inspiring our various stakeholders. As an ambassador for the charity, you will advocate for our service users and engage with stakeholders and funders.
We seek a leader with a proven track record of success within the non-profit or social impact sector. With a connection and an understanding of the complexities and challenges facing our service users. A future area of focus means it would be advantageous if you have experience with supported housing and homeless services. Above all, you will have a passionate dedication to improving outcomes for those at risk.
With a demonstrable senior leadership track record in an organisation of similar scale and complexity, you will be highly attuned to sector pressures and opportunities and lead with empathy. You will be experienced in leading and coaching multidisciplinary, high-performing, well-established teams.
You will have the confidence, credibility, and experience that demonstrate your ability to identify, secure, and implement new opportunities, constantly horizon-scan, and respond to the needs of our communities.
You will have strong commercial acumen and proven experience in growing and developing opportunities, diversifying income and fundraising and developing strategic partnerships. You will be ambitious and keen to develop The Foxton Centre while remaining committed to the vulnerable people we support. Your strategic vision will allow the ability to translate passion into measurable impact and ultimately increase our reach.
We want an empathetic leader who has a vision aligned with our direction of travel, and who wants to work to build on all that we’ve achieved so far.
