Prospectus is delighted to be working with our client to recruit a North East Lincolnshire Operational Lead.
Our client helps local people take control of their town’s future, together. Across the country, people are working to make things better. They spot what’s needed, bring others with them and start creating change. But too often, they’re doing it in spite of the system, not because of it. Short-term funding kills momentum. Distant rules block action. Local people rarely get to decide what happens next.

You’ll support a bold, shared strategy and work alongside others. As well as building trusted relationships and supporting inclusive ways of working, you will play a key role in making our operational model work in practice, so that good ideas can grow and change can last.
The successful candidate will bring experience of supporting and leading change in a place or within different communities. You’ll be confident building relationships across sectors, comfortable balancing detail and big picture thinking and committed to supporting a long-term change. A strong connection to and care for a thriving future North East Lincolnshire is essential.
This is a permanent, full-time role (four-day working week with compressed hours). The role is based in North East Lincolnshire with regular travel across the area and occasional meetings in London.
As a specialist Recruitment Practice, we are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.
To register interest in this position, please apply with your CV only.
