Charity Manager
The Link Charitable Trust are recruiting for a Charity Manager.
Could you be the person to shape the future of The Link Charitable Trust?
Based in the heart of Redcar, The Link Charitable Trust (LCT) is a much-loved local charity that’s been making a difference since 2016. We support children, young people, families and adults with a wide mix of emotional, social and wellbeing-focused services – all rooted in the community, always open-access, and offered for as long as people need us.
We’re now on the lookout for an inspiring and hands-on leader to take us into our next chapter. The charity has seen some exciting changes over the last 18 months – we’ve strengthened our governance, clarified our values, and are now gearing up for a fresh rebrand. We’re in a brilliant position – and with the right person leading the way, there’s no limit to what we could achieve.
This role is perfect for someone who’s ready to roll their sleeves up, bring a clear strategic vision, and help the charity grow – both in terms of impact and long-term sustainability. You’ll lead day-to-day operations, manage a dedicated team, and build on our strong reputation locally. Crucially, you’ll also have a real drive to secure new funding streams and create new opportunities to expand what we do.
We’re looking for someone with:
* Strong experience in the charitable sector (ideally with knowledge of the local landscape)
* A clear grasp of governance and how to apply it in real-world settings
* A track record of winning funding, managing contracts, and building meaningful partnerships
* A creative, forward-thinking approach to financial sustainability
But just as importantly, we want someone with heart. Someone who gets what we’re about, leads from the front, and isn’t afraid to do things differently.
This is an incredible opportunity to make your mark on a respected and ambitious charity – and help us grow in a way that really works for the community.
The closing date for this job is 25 August 2025 - 5:00pm.
