Support service manager jobs in frinton on sea, essex

Prospectus is delighted to be working with our client to recruit a Head of Scaling.

Our client helps local people take control of their town’s future, together. In every place, people are stepping up to improve their communities. But too often, they’re doing it without the backing, funding or infrastructure they need. The organisation supports a shared vision, connects energy and ideas, and helps long-term investment flow to what matters most.

With a strong foundation in North East Lincolnshire and ongoing learning from the work on the ground, our client is now aiming to support more towns to lead change on their own terms.

The Head of Scaling will play a key role in this next phase by helping to codify the organisation's approach and building a movement of other places keen to work in a similar way.

You’ll work with local and national partners to build the support, tools and connections that help this work land well in different contexts. You’ll also help grow a network of towns committed to long-term, locally-led change, sharing learning and building momentum together.

The successful candidate will bring experience of designing and delivering programmes across different locations. You’ll be confident building partnerships, translating ideas into clear offers, and creating practical tools others can use. You’ll work well across sectors, be comfortable managing complexity, and bring a collaborative and relational leadership style.

This is a permanent, full-time role (four-day working week on compressed hours). The role is remote with regular travel across the UK, including visits to London and our client partner towns.

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. If your profile is suitable for the role, you will be provided with full details of the position and invited for an initial conversation. Following this conversation, you will be provided the details needed to put together a full application. For the best possible candidate experience, we recommend you express your interest as early as possible.
