Report to: CEO

Salary Band: £35,000 – £40,000 per annum, FULL TIME, PERMANENT
Are you driven by a passion to serve, and a fierce desire to help? Are you looking for rewarding and energising role, where no day is the same, and where there are clear opportunities for career, development and promotion?
We’re looking for an energetic and ambitious leader who cares deeply about people.
This is a rare opportunity to help thousands of people in our local community. You’ll help lead our work in all areas and have impact across North East Lincolnshire and beyond.
You’ll help us develop new policies as well as run the day to day machinery that keeps Rock in action. Unflappable, with a commitment of a leader, you’ll need a mind for strategy, and good attention to detail.
Though Rock isn’t directly a Christian charity, many of its board members and trustees are Christians, and it runs on Christian principles. This means you will understand good leaders eat last. You’ll have a servant heart and a humble approach and yet you’ll have the courage and leadership to go first when you need to.
If all this sounds like you we’d love to meet you! For further details and to apply please visit: Premier Job Search >
