The High Street Centre is a not-for-profit organisation that works to make the Rawmarsh area of Rotherham a better place to live and work for all. We provide a wide range of affordable and accessible activities for local people, creating opportunities for them to get involved, be part of their local community and reach their potential. Tackling loneliness, reducing social isolation and building the confidence of individuals to reach their own potential, as well as supporting others, are priorities for us.
Based at the High Street Centre, Activate Rawmarsh supports children and young people to develop their skills, capacities and capabilities. Our safe and inclusive environment is a place they can have fun, make new friends and gain the skills and confidence to raise their aspirations and achieve their ambitions.
We’re looking for a people-focussed and inspirational Centre Development Manager to lead us into the next exciting chapter of our story; working with our beneficiaries, staff, volunteers and Trustees to continue the positive impact of our work. Building on our success and working towards achieving our vision for the Centre, we are looking for a strong leader to ensure we remain sustainable and a continuing part of the community of which we are proud.
You will have overall responsibility for the leadership of the organisation, including the development and implementation of appropriate business plans, with associated income generation, marketing and project management activity.
An experienced and motivational leader of people, you will also be used to managing complex revenue and capital budget. Estates management and in particular steering us through the recommendations from our recent quinquennial property inspection will be a significant element of your role.
You’ll be confident and comfortable as an ambassador for our work, maintaining positive relationships with all our partners, including funding organisations, and recognising the centrality of our relationship with the Methodist Church.
If you think you fit the bill and would love to join our friendly and professional team, let us know how you could make a positive difference to the lives of people in and around Rawmarsh.
The role will require attendance at meetings outside of normal working hours, therefore, the successful candidate must be willing to work flexible hours when required to meet work demands.
