People & Culture: build a cohesive senior team, embed clear role accountabilities, performance management and development, and protect the Centre's welcoming culture while managing change. 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.

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. A warm, loyal staff team and an engaged board navigating a positive leadership transition.
