Located in the heart of historic Westminster, The Abbey Centre manages a vibrant community hub buzzing with a diverse range of activities and services aimed at addressing local community needs.

With our current postholder moving on to an exciting new opportunity, we are looking for a new leader to join our Senior Management Team. We seek an ambitious person with the ability to grow. Some experience in leading teams, managing budgets, and overseeing relevant programmes would be beneficial. However, we are primarily focused on your ambition, your commitment to values-led leadership, and your desire to help us reach even more people in the community.

You will benefit from an excellent team, a CEO invested in your development, and a lead Trustee equally committed to your growth. We are also willing to invest in your development, offering financial support for training, coaching, or mentoring.
