Are you a visionary leader with a passion for empowering young people and transforming communities? Do you thrive in dynamic, start-up environments and want to make a lasting impact in a place that truly needs it?

A charity is seeking its founding Chief Executive-a bold, values-driven leader to bring this brand-new, purpose-built facility to life in Tilbury. As part of a national network, this Youth Zone will be a beacon of opportunity, inclusion, and inspiration for thousands of young people.

About The Role

As CEO, you will:

• Lead the launch and growth of a flagship Youth Zone engaging with the communities that will benefit from it.
• Act as a local ambassador, building bridges across diverse stakeholders-from funders and local authorities to young people and their families.
• Build and embed the first team - shaping the culture, strategy, and operations of a high-impact organisation from the ground up.
