You will need a strong commitment to values and servant-hearted leadership, the ability to make a wide range of staff feel included in what’s going on and valued for their important contributions. You will need to be able to grow positive relationships with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, especially Local Authority commissioners. You will also need to have the composure and experience to manage crises and the rare occasions when things go wrong. You will have the ability and bandwidth to be in control of over 60 services across London, maintaining good judgement in day-to-day decisions and effective application of systems such as quality assessments, performance monitoring, budgets, supervisions and more across the patch. You will also be an influential voice in the leadership of our services across the country.
We are looking for that special person to join our team and make our services for young people as good as they can possibly be.
We seek to challenge discrimination and are committed to fairness and equality within Centrepoint.
