Lead the Future: Become the Chief Executive of Future Youth Zone, Barking & Dagenham

Location: Barking & Dagenham, East London
Salary: £65,000 - £70,000 (depending on experience)
Benefits: 33 days annual leave, gym access, professional development via OnSide
Application Deadline: 5pm Monday 30th June

Are you a bold, inclusive leader ready to shape the future for young people in one of London's most dynamic boroughs?

Future Youth Zone is seeking a new Chief Executive to lead its next chapter. With a strong foundation in place and a passionate, values-led team behind you, this is your opportunity to drive innovation, deepen community impact, and ensure every young person in Barking & Dagenham has the opportunity to thrive.

About the Role

As CEO, you will:

  • Lead a £1.5m+ organisation with a mission to empower young people through opportunity and support.
  • Be a visible, community-facing leader-present in the Youth Zone and across the borough.
  • Drive financial sustainability, programme innovation, and strategic partnerships.
  • Champion youth voice and inclusion at every level of the organisation.

Who We're Looking For

We welcome candidates from all sectors who bring:

  • Proven leadership in complex organisations (charity, youth, community, or beyond)
  • Strong fundraising experience across corporate, philanthropic, and public sectors
  • Operational and financial acumen (including managing £1.5m+ budgets)
  • Experience working with Boards and multidisciplinary teams
  • A deep passion for young people and community engagement
  • Lived experience and local knowledge are highly valued. We especially encourage applications from women and racially diverse candidates underrepresented in charity leadership

What You'll Lead

  • A high-energy, mission-driven team committed to continuous improvement
  • Strategic priorities including youth employment, mental health, and inclusion
  • Expansion of our reach to underserved young people
  • A refresh of our strategic plan beyond 2025

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a national movement through the OnSide Youth Zones network
  • Shape the future of youth services in Barking & Dagenham
  • Access to a supportive Board and national peer network
  • Lead with purpose, visibility, and impact

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.
