Our Communities team provides life-changing support to people who need help to connect with others and have their voices heard. Can you lead us?

Join us as Head of Communities and you’ll be part of an established team that’s always innovating and developing to keep up with the needs of our communities. You will be part of our Senior Management Team, contributing to the vision set out in our new business strategy, while managing delivery of community-based services for people with learning disabilities and autistic people in Gateshead and South Tyneside.

It’s a dynamic and fast-paced role where you will mobilise projects, embed co-production and oversee our commercial training and development offer.

Our values shape how we work and the right attitude is essential. We support a vulnerable client group, so we’re looking for a proactive leader - someone who drives improvement, builds strong relationships and delivers effectively – and does it with high emotional intelligence, empathy and a real commitment to helping others.

In return, we offer an enhanced range of employee benefits, ongoing training and support, and genuine job satisfaction from the relationships you’ll develop and the difference you’ll make.
