Lead a vibrant community hub where every day makes a difference. Help shape a safe, welcoming space that brings people together and generates real impact. We’re looking for a dynamic and hands‑on Community Centre Manager to take the lead in running a thriving, multi‑use community facility. This is not just a management role – it’s an opportunity to build relationships, create opportunities, and play a central role in the life of a diverse and growing community.
As the driving force behind the centre, you’ll oversee day-to-day operations, lead a dedicated team, and ensure the space delivers high-quality services while remaining financially sustainable. You’ll have the autonomy to identify new income opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and continuously improve how the centre serves its users. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety – from managing facilities, budgets, and compliance, to engaging with local residents, tenants, and stakeholders. No two days will be the same, and your impact will be visible across everything from the condition of the building to the experiences of the people who use it.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading and supporting a small team, creating a positive and high‑performing working environment
- Managing the day‑to‑day running of the centre, ensuring it is welcoming, safe, and efficient
- Driving income through room hire, bookings, and identifying new opportunities
- Overseeing facilities, maintenance, and contractor relationships
- Taking ownership of health & safety, safeguarding, and compliance across the site
- Managing budgets, monitoring performance, and ensuring value for money
- Building strong relationships with tenants, partners, and the wider community
If you’re looking for a role where you can lead, influence, and make a meaningful impact every day, we’d love to hear from you.
