Lead a vibrant community hub where every day makes a difference. Help shape a safe, welcoming space that brings people together and generates real impact.

We’re looking for a dynamic and hands-on Community Centre Manager to take the lead in running a thriving, multi-use community facility. This is not just a management role – it’s an opportunity to build relationships, create opportunities, and play a central role in the life of a diverse and growing community.

As the driving force behind the centre, you’ll oversee day-to-day operations, lead a dedicated team, and ensure the space delivers high-quality services while remaining financially sustainable. You’ll have the autonomy to identify new income opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and continuously improve how the centre serves its users.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety – from managing facilities, budgets, and compliance, to engaging with local residents, tenants, and stakeholders. No two days will be the same, and your impact will be visible across everything from the condition of the building to the experiences of the people who use it.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading and supporting a small  team, creating a positive and high-performing working environment
• Managing the day-to-day running of the centre, ensuring it is welcoming, safe, and efficient
• Driving income through room hire, bookings, and identifying new opportunities
• Overseeing facilities, maintenance, and contractor relationships
• Taking ownership of health & safety, safeguarding, and compliance across the site
• Managing budgets, monitoring performance, and ensuring value for money
• Building strong relationships with tenants, partners, and the wider community

Why this role stands out

• A genuine opportunity to shape and influence a vital community asset
• A varied role combining leadership, operations, and community engagement
• The chance to make a visible difference to people’s lives locally
• A supportive environment with scope to introduce new ideas and improvements

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has experience managing a community facility, public building, or similar environment
• Brings strong leadership skills and enjoys developing and motivating teams
• Is confident managing operations, compliance, and competing priorities
• Understands how to balance community impact with financial sustainability
• Builds relationships easily and thrives in a people-focused role

If you’re looking for a role where you can lead, influence, and make a meaningful impact every day, we’d love to hear from you.

Who we are

Every year, thousands of people in the UK face court alone. Often through no choice of their own, people must represent themselves at a moment that could have life-changing outcomes. This includes loss of access to children or homelessness. At the same time, people facing court alone may find themselves up against a party with legal representation. They are instantly at a disadvantage and overwhelmed by the enormity of the challenges they are up against. We supported unrepresented litigants in the civil and family courts in England and Wales over 45,000 times last year.

We provide a safe space with volunteers who listen to each client’s individual story. Last year, over 1000 volunteers helped people to get their thoughts in order, problem-solve and decide next steps, source relevant and reliable legal information, explain complex procedures, complete court forms, and clearly present statements.

At a time when legal support is increasingly limited, we have a vision that no one should have to face court alone.

The role 

Support Through Court is establishing a legal advice clinic for money claim matters under £10,000, for a one-year pilot. Advice will be given to clients across the national service network who have been internally triaged to the clinic.

The role involves day-to day management of the clinic and supervising law students as they facilitate client appointments, conduct research and draft letters of advice. Clients will predominantly be supported remotely with occasional in-person appointments and advice “drop-ins” in the local area. You will train and supervise students to help them gain practical legal skills in a clinic setting, having final sign-off of completed letters of advice/oral advice to ensure clients receive an excellent service.

You will embed the legal advice offering of the clinic into the organisation, increasing and developing referrals from our national service network and supporting staff understanding of referral ability. 

Who we are looking for 

Ambitious, professional, committed and friendly. That describes us. If it also describes you and you have a passion for access to justice, then we’re keen to hear from you.

You will be a qualified solicitor with at least 3 years PQE (ideally 5+) with an active practicing certificate. You will have experience managing students and/or volunteers and a commitment to supporting Litigants in Person. 

We are open to applicants wishing to take the role either on a full-time basis, or on a part-time basis as a job share. Please make it clear in your application whether you are applying for a full-time or part-time role. 

Interviews will be taking place on a rolling basis as applications are received.
