Brand & Profile: act as a visible ambassador locally and with funders to raise the Centre's profile and champion its social value. Who you are: A seasoned senior leader with proven experience in a small/medium charity, community organisation or social enterprise that combines front-line delivery with significant premises/estate responsibility. Demonstrable track record of leading strategic development and delivering organisational growth while balancing hands-on operational leadership. Strong commercial and earned-income expertise, with experience of running successful commercial - ideally site-based - operations. Confident in winning and managing statutory contracts and multi-year grant programmes; credible with local authorities, commissioners and corporate partners. Financially literate with direct budget and cash-flow accountability and experience of full-cost recovery modelling. A collaborative, visible and warm ambassador who builds trust quickly, communicates clearly and can present concise management information to trustees. Why The Abbey Centre? A powerful mission: deliver practical services, companionship and opportunity for south Westminster residents in a civic, high-impact setting. A prominent, historic central Westminster location and a cherished community building offering scope for strategic estate planning and growth.
