Job description

Digital Innovation & Development Manager– Community Action Redbridge

£41,845 – Full-time – Permanent

Are you excited by the potential of digital technology and data to make a real difference in people’s lives?

Community Action Redbridge is looking for a creative, forward-thinking Digital Innovation and Development Manager to lead the next stage of our digital journey and help shape how technology supports communities across one of London’s most diverse boroughs.

Redbridge is home to vibrant communities and a dynamic voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector. We want to harness the power of digital technology and data to strengthen communities, support local VCSE organisations and help create a fairer Redbridge.

Working across the organisation, you’ll lead the implementation of our ambitious Digital Innovation and Development Strategy. You’ll help create more consistent and effective systems that reduce duplication, improve collaboration and enable our team to focus on what matters most: supporting our communities and member organisations. You’ll champion a data-driven culture, helping us turn information into insight, better understand our impact, and make informed decisions that respond to emerging needs.

You’ll play a key role in building digital confidence across the organisation, empowering staff to embrace new technologies, develop their skills and use digital tools effectively in their everyday work. Beyond Community Action Redbridge, you’ll work directly with local charities and community groups to strengthen their digital capacity, improve access to data and insight, and foster stronger connections across Redbridge’s VCSE sector.

If you’re excited by the power of digital technology to connect people, improve services and create lasting social impact, we’d love to hear from you.

First-stage interviews will take place online on Tuesday 6th October 2026.

Candidates successfully shortlisted from the first stage will be invited to attend a second-stage interview in person, which is expected to take place on Tuesday 13th October 2026.
