Deputy Chief Executive Officer, BACK ON TRACK MANCHESTER

Back on Track is a Greater Manchester charity that enables people to make lasting positive changes in their lives. Our learning centre is a place where people can belong, feel a sense of purpose, and get skills and guidance to make choices about the kind of future they want. This could be managing problematic drug and/or alcohol use, living a crime-free life, improving mental health and wellbeing, or finding and maintaining a stable home.

This is a period of change and growth for Back on Track and we’ve created a brand new leadership role to help drive the charity forward. We’re looking for a strategic leader who can innovate, set clear direction and inspire colleagues and stakeholders.

As deputy chief executive officer (DCEO) you will:

• Work closely with the chief executive, senior leadership colleagues and the board of trustees to help shape and deliver our 2024-27 strategic plan.
• Contribute to the day-to-day management of the charity and deputise for the CEO as needed.
• Provide leadership for a team of colleagues delivering our criminal justice contract.
• Support the charity to extend our reach through influencing, bringing about systems change and increasing opportunities for people experiencing multiple disadvantage.
• Oversee the monitoring, analysis and reporting of agreed aspects of Back on Track’s performance and make sure that learning is implemented as we progress.

This is a great opportunity for someone with exceptional communication and engagement skills with a passion for making a positive difference.
