Resurgo’s initiatives are Spear, a programme helping young people, Resurgo Ventures, supporting emerging social entrepreneurs to make a positive impact on society and Resurgo Consulting, providing coaching services to organisations to increase trust and improve outcomes.

Through our award-winning Spear programme, we partner with churches to work with unemployed young people and support them to get into work or education. 89% have at least one indicator of disadvantage, and over 75% of program completers are still in work a year later.

The role of Centre Manager is to oversee the day to day running of the Spear programme at the centre to enable excellent delivery of the Spear programme as an expression of the Christian life and faith. You will have responsibility for coaching and developing the Graduate and Lead coaches at the Spear centre, and together with the partner church you will develop local networking and partnership opportunities.  

We are currently looking for a dynamic and engaging Coach with great communication skills and emotional intelligence, to manage the Camden Spear centre run in partnership with the Lighthouse Church Camden. You will be highly self-motivated and have strong leadership skills and initiative, with excellent organisational skills and confidence working with corporates, as well as at least two years’ experience in training and development design and delivery.

This is a pivotal role working closely with the church staff team to facilitate meaningful and lasting impact in their local community. Because the Spear programme is run in partnership with the church, the role requires that the successful applicant becomes an integrated member of the Lighthouse church community. For more information on where other roles are available and the partner churches these are based at, please get in touch with our People & Culture team.
