Job description

Company Description

Warning! Vacancy not published

We welcome you to YMCA Derbyshire.

We have been at the heart of the community in Derbyshire since 1847. While the scope of our work has changed considerably over the years, our vision hasn’t. Our holistic development in body, mind and spirit and our mission to break down barriers to achievement and help local people to fulfil their potential has remained our constant purpose.

Every year, we support over 300 individuals in our housing provision, enabling them to grow their confidence and move into education, training, employment and into independent living. Alongside this we provide a whole host of youth and community services including our own community gardens. We also provide training and education to 150 young people each year who find mainstream education more difficult, as well as high-quality childcare within our community.

Our team works hard to provide as much care and support for those who need it most, every day we make a difference.

Position

Community Hub Manager

This is an exciting opportunity for you to join the YMCA; a charity at the heart of the community in Derby and Derbyshire. We are committed to helping people at times of need, regardless of gender, race, ability or faith/belief. Our values to Protect, Trust, Hope and Persevere underpin all of our services across the county.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about people and community—someone who thrives on creating welcoming spaces where everyone feels they belong. You’ll be driven by a genuine desire to make a difference, helping to bring YMCA Derbyshire’s vision of thriving individuals and communities to life. You’ll have a natural ability to connect with others, inspire your team, and build strong partnerships that help the Hub reach its full potential.

You’ll be a hands-on and proactive leader who can balance heart with head—just as comfortable supporting a person using our community pantry as you are managing budgets or ensuring we are compliant with Health and Safety.

Someone with a keen eye for detail, great organisational skills, and the confidence to make things happen. Above all, you’ll share our belief that everyone deserves the chance to flourish in body, mind, and spirit—and you’ll bring energy, empathy, and positivity to everything you do.

Requirements

• Commitment to YMCA Derbyshire’s vision, mission, and values.
• Knowledge of safeguarding principles and health and safety legislation.
• Understanding of operational and people management.
• Awareness of community needs and partnership working.
• A driving license and use of own car is essential as there may be an expectation to work across numerous sites.
• At YMCA Derbyshire we aim to transform the lives of the people we work with for the better. We are looking for brilliant people who will ensure that safeguarding the people we work with is a priority.
• YMCA Derbyshire is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All roles are subject to thorough safeguarding checks, including references and an enhanced DBS check, in line with our safeguarding policies and a six-month probationary period.
