About Speakers Trust
Speakers Trust is the UK's leading public speaking charity, which delivers training and events to ensure all young people develop the skills and confidence to speak and be heard.
Each year, we work with over 40,000 young people, helping them develop the confidence to share their ideas and stories out loud. Our work transforms lives - every day we see and hear stories of young people who have found their voice and discovered the power of speaking up.
We operate through two key areas: (i) we deliver a national schools programme to more than one in five state secondary schools delivering workshops and events and publishing leading educational resources. (ii) we work with third sector organisations to deliver workshops and events with the joint aims of amplifying youth voice and supporting the financial sustainability of the charity- an exciting growth area that this role will help shape and lead.

The Role
This role is focused on managing and growing our work with other third sector organisations. It focuses on two areas: (i) developing our social enterprise which delivers over 150 paid workshops each year and (ii) delivering youth voice initiatives with other charity partners which amplify young voices. We're creating this new position to drive our strategic mission while enabling our Head of Fundraising to focus on individual giving, corporates, and larger trusts and foundations.
It is an opportunity to craft your own role by using your entrepreneurial skills to grow the charity’s enterprise income and giving you the opportunity to grow with it.
All colleagues are expected to also play a role in supporting Speakers Trust’s broader strategic objectives.

Enterprise Development (Primary Focus)

•  Grow our established “paid for” workshop delivery (currently 150+ workshops annually) by building   relationships with third sector organisations, developing new products, promotions and selling public   speaking workshops to those with budget to pay for them.
•  Drive successful growth in enterprise contribution to the charity's finances through increased net income
•  Manage the full commercial cycle from prospecting and enquiry to delivery and invoicing
•  Work with our impressive existing client base while actively developing new partnerships
•  Match client needs with our established freelance trainer network

 Youth Voice Programmes

• Successfully deliver flagship programmes like "My Maiden Speech" - our high-profile, transformative multi-organisation youth voice programme
• Develop and deliver new youth voice initiatives that amplify marginalised voices
• Engage new partners and showcase our transformative work
• Manage events, logistics, and complex stakeholder relationships across multiple organisations
• Maximise the potential of these programmes to generate new funding sources to expand this part of our work.

Supporting Speakers Trust's Broader Objectives

• As part of our collaborative team of 10, you'll also contribute to our success through:
• Supporting fundraising events and activities to help achieve our income targets
• Contributing to events for our schools programme and other initiatives where needed
• Coordinating smaller projects across the charity as opportunities and needs arise
• Supporting the CEO and team with tasks that help make Speakers Trust a great place to work
• Contributing to solutions for the usual challenges faced by small charities - bringing creativity and problem-solving skills
• Representing Speakers Trust at external events and networking opportunities
• Sharing knowledge and expertise with colleagues to strengthen our collective impact

What Success Looks Like

• Sustainable growth in our enterprise workshop programme and net income contribution
• Successful delivery of multiple youth voice programmes and events throughout the year
• New funding streams secured for youth voice initiatives
• Expanded partner network and stronger stakeholder relationships
• Enhanced profile and awareness of Speakers Trust's work
• Effective contribution to broader team success

The Charity

James’ Place exists to save the lives of men in suicidal crisis through delivering free clinical services. We currently have centres in Newcastle, Liverpool and London; and in early 2026 we will be opening our fourth centre in Birmingham. Our new centre in Birmingham will be there to support suicidal men living in the West Midlands.

Our trained, professional therapists deliver a proven clinical service in a warm and welcoming environment, ensuring that men are seen quickly at the point of crisis. We have so far treated over 3,600 men who might otherwise have been unable to access the support they desperately need.

The Role

We are seeking a driven and experienced manager to oversee the operational side of our new Birmingham Centre. This is a pivotal role within the team which focuses on coordinating activity across the service to ensure the safe and effective delivery of our intervention.

The successful candidate will manage the day to day running of the James’ Place centre, with oversight from the Birmingham Head of Centre. You will manage the centre environment through both resource management and by influencing and driving local culture. The Centre Manager is responsible for line management of the Clinical Administrators and overseeing the processing of referrals to the service, ensuring men coming to James’ Place are welcomed warmly, within the expected timeframe and according to our values.

This is a new role and during their first months in post, the Centre Manager will work closely with the James’ Place Head Office Team to prepare James’ Place Birmingham for a successful launch.

Person Specification

This role requires someone with excellent organisational, problem-solving and interpersonal skills who can work hands-on in a busy and potentially challenging environment. You will be collaborative and work closely with the local team and wider charity outside the Birmingham centre to ensure we have consistent and effective systems in place. 

We are looking for a forward thinking and proactive individual with experience of both people and operational management. The successful candidate will align with the James’ Place values and be able to demonstrate these through everyday practices including supportive leadership and line management.

Your management and administrative skills will be highly valued in sustaining the clinical operations of James’ Place. You will need to be proficient in Office 365 software such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, with the ability to manage Outlook cloud calendars, SharePoint, CRM databases, and shared inboxes.

The Centre Manager will often meet the men who come to James’ Place in suicidal crisis and so you will be able to demonstrate empathy and an ability to create a sense of calm while working in a sensitive and busy environment.

Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for more details.
