Working under the guidance of the Trustees the Centre Manager will be running the business, meeting members of the public, managing a team of four other part-time employees and keeping a keen eye on finances.

The successful applicant will be given considerable autonomy with regards to the day-to-day running and will need to be well-organised, self-motivated and flexible in their working methods.

The Centre Manager will determine exactly which times they work, dependent on the needs of the business and some working from home may be possible.
