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 Chorlton Good Neighbours? • 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.
