We will be operating Eastbrook Manor Community Centre, Fishersgate on behalf of Adur District Council, commencing on 01.09.26.
Our local strategic focus is on Community Development and Community Participation and as our Centre Manager you will be responsible for co-creating a welcoming, safe, supportive and inclusive environment for our visitors, hirers, voluntary, charity and social enterprise partners and stakeholders. In conjunction with the Head of Community Hubs & Operations you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the premises, ensuring that Eastbrook Manor is operated efficiently and safely in accordance with current Health & Safety best practice. You will be the initial point of contact for room hirers with any premises-related enquiries.
This is an opportunity to work on a bold delivery model, with a forward-thinking organisation that exists to support some of the most vibrant communities in West Sussex.
About Community People
We are a charity on a mission to support our communities to thrive; it’s all about people. People coming together to act on what’s important to them. People having access to health, wellbeing, justice, and opportunity. People being heard across all our communities. People being given the tools and platforms to pursue their passions and make a positive impact in their communities.
We currently support over 550 local voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations by providing advice and information on a range of practical, legal, financial, and regulatory requirements governing charities. We enable people to work in partnership, bringing VCSE and business communities together. We lead on volunteer recruitment and best practice across the VCSE.
We currently manage the buildings and diaries at The Cherry Tree Centre in Burgess Hill and Bentswood @ No.34 America Lane in Haywards Heath. Both hubs are central providers of community-based activities in their neighbourhoods including chair exercise classes, cafe, public living room, art & craft groups, Family Support, after school clubs, U3A education, meeting rooms, SEND support, Tai Chi and aerobic fitness classes.
Working at Community People
At Community People, we’re all about people and the communities they power. We’re a values-led charity, and we want our workplace to be supportive, inclusive and kind - a place where people can do meaningful work and feel respected.
We are a Real Living Wage employer, offering fair pay aligned with the median range for our sector. Alongside this, we offer paid birthday leave, a paid Wellbeing Day, and three days of paid volunteering leave, which can be used flexibly for micro volunteering. We also offer extended leave opportunities to support different life stages and commitments. We support your continued professional development through ongoing learning opportunities, and you’ll be part of a team that cares about fairness, collaboration and real local impact - working with others who believe strong, connected communities make a real difference.
