Manager (Chief Executive) Location: Chorlton, Manchester Salary: £35,000 - £40,000 per annum Contract: Permanent, full time Could you be the steady, friendly, hands-on leader who helps more people in Chorlton feel connected, fulfilled and valued? About A small, well-loved neighbourhood charity with roots back to the late 1960s, working to reduce loneliness and support older people across Chorlton and adjacent neighbourhoods. Our work is local, practical and volunteer-led: befriending, home visits, transport, weekly activities, monthly teas, intergenerational groups and occasional day trips are all delivered with warmth and care. Our volunteer base is extraordinary - around 100 volunteers support drivers, befrienders, activity leads, admin roles and trustees - and in 2024-25 we supported 474 people in total. Funding is a mixed model of public grants, local donations and modest earned income and the charity holds healthy funds to deliver our work. This is a practical, hands-on, delivery-focused leadership role: you will lead a neighbourhood organisation through planned transition, preserving the community culture that makes CGN trusted, while introducing proportionate systems and succession approaches that secure its future. You will also spend substantial time supporting and supervising volunteers and facilitating activities alongside strategic duties. As our next Manager (Chief Executive), you will: Strategy & Impact: Lead the development and delivery of a clear long-term strategy that sustains CGN's neighbourhood impact and reduces social isolation amongst older people. Governance & Finance: Strengthen proportionate financial controls, grant monitoring and reporting while working closely with trustees including the Treasurer. Operational Leadership: Manage day-to-day delivery of volunteer-led services and introduce accessible procedures and safeguarding arrangements. Income Generation: Support fundraising and bid activity to secure multi-year funding and diversify local income streams. Community & Partnerships: Act as CGN's visible ambassador, maintaining and developing relationships with Manchester City Council, NHS partners and local organisations. Volunteer Development: Recruit, induct and support volunteers and facilitators, building a resilient volunteer pipeline and clear role pathways. Brand & Profile: Promote CGN's offer across local channels to maintain footfall, attract new supporters and celebrate members' stories. Premises & Risk: Work with trustees on lease and premises issues and maintain a robust risk register to protect continuity of service. Who you are An experienced, hands-on manager with significant experience of running small, community-facing charities or local services and a hands-on approach to operational delivery. Demonstrable expertise in recruiting, supporting and retaining volunteers, with confidence in DBS/safeguarding practice and volunteer supervision. Highly organised with strong event/activity planning skills, practical problem solving and attention to detail. Financially literate - comfortable with budgeting, grant monitoring and basic financial controls and able to work with volunteer finance leads. An excellent communicator: approachable, diplomatic and skilled at building trust with older people, volunteers, trustees and statutory partners. Values driven, emotionally resilient and committed to inclusivity and dignity in later life. Desirable: experience of Age-Friendly programmes or befriending schemes and local credibility or knowledge of Manchester/South Manchester. Why? Meaningful local impact - lead a well-regarded neighbourhood charity with deep community trust and a broad activities programme. Strong volunteer culture - join an organisation supported by around 100 committed volunteers and an engaged trustee board. Secure footing to build from - healthy funds and a clear focus on securing multi-year funding and premises. Hands-on role with strategic scope - keep delivery at the heart of the job while developing proportionate systems and succession planning. Supportive transition - trustees have planned a careful handover and you will be supported through induction and the subsequent recruitment of a part-time assistant. For full details of the role including how to apply, please download the full appointment brief. For an informal and confidential conversation about this position, please contact Jenny Hills at Harris Hill at with times to speak and (optional but appreciated) a CV or professional profile which will be treated with the strictest confidence.
