Join a Transformative Movement: Become the Chief Executive of a national youth charity
Location: Tilbury, Thurrock
Salary: £60,000 - £65,000 (depending on experience) + Benefits
Application deadline: 5pm Monday 30th June
Are you a visionary leader with a passion for empowering young people and transforming communities? Do you thrive in dynamic, start-up environments and want to make a lasting impact in a place that truly needs it?
A charity is seeking its founding Chief Executive-a bold, values-driven leader to bring this brand-new, purpose-built facility to life in Tilbury. As part of a national network, this Youth Zone will be a beacon of opportunity, inclusion, and inspiration for thousands of young people.
About The Role
As CEO, you will:
* Lead the launch and growth of a flagship Youth Zone engaging with the communities that will benefit from it.
* Act as a local ambassador, building bridges across diverse stakeholders-from funders and local authorities to young people and their families.
* Build and embed the first team - shaping the culture, strategy, and operations of a high-impact organisation from the ground up.
What We're Looking For
We welcome candidates from all sectors-charity, public, private, education, health, and more-who bring:
* Exceptional leadership and communication skills
* Strategic and operational agility
* Fundraising and commercial acumen
* A deep commitment to inclusion and community engagement
* Resilience and adaptability in a start-up environment
What You'll Get
* A 3-4 month immersive placement in an existing Youth Zone
* Mentorship from an experienced Openings Manager
* Access to the charity's national network and central support services
* Ongoing professional development and peer support
Why Thurrock?
This is more than a job-it's a chance to lead a movement. The Youth Zone is fully capitally funded and already has a number of Founder Patrons (who offer revenue funding) in place. The role offers a rare opportunity to build something sustainable and impactful from the very beginning. You'll play a key role in uniting a diverse community and shaping the future for generations of young people.
