This is a fantastic opportunity to join a charity that believes all young people should have the opportunity to discover their passion and their purpose; to find out what they’ve got and where it could take them.

This Chief Executive role is strategic, requiring effectiveness at a high level, yet at the same time it demands detailed and hands-on management.  You will have responsibility for a revenue budget of £1.45m per annum and be able to influence effectively at senior level, while also be willing to get stuck into the detail; all this in an environment without corporate support structures.  As Chief Executive, your relationship with the Chair of the Board will be supportive and challenging, enabling you to deliver on-going success for the Youth Zone.

To apply, please email a CV to hr@onsideyouthzones.org together with a cover letter (which should not exceed one page in length), explaining clearly why you are interest in the role and suited to it (based on the person specification). Please note that CVs without a cover letter will not be considered. In addition, please provide the following information:

• Confirmation you are eligible to work in the UK (the successful candidate will be required to provide documentary evidence before a job offer is confirmed);

• Details of your current or most recent remuneration package and your notice period;

• Any reasonable adjustments we can make to assist you in your application or the selection process;
