Lead a space that changes young people’s lives

We’re looking for a bold, strategic and hands‑on leader to take ownership of our Middlesbrough Hub — a vital community space supporting young people facing real barriers to opportunity.

• Lead and inspire a team , creating a positive, accountable and high‑performing culture
• Oversee operations , including budget management, facilities, safeguarding and compliance

You will play a critical role in ensuring the hub not only delivers for young people today — but is built to sustain and grow its impact over time.

Who we’re looking for:

You’ll bring:

• Strong experience leading youth, community or place‑based programmes
• The ability to turn strategy into reality
• A track record of building partnerships and influencing stakeholders
• Confidence in leading teams, driving confidence and performance
• A clear commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and young people’s outcomes

Most of all, you’ll be someone who sees potential — in people, in places, and in what’s possible.

Benefits:

• Lead a high‑profile, purpose‑driven community hub
• Shape innovative programmes that respond to real need
• Work as part of a mission‑led organisation with national reach and growing impact
