If so, this Centre Manager role could be your next exciting opportunity.

The Role They are looking for a motivated and compassionate Centre Manager to lead services in the city. This is a full-time (37 hours), interim cover role (up to 12 months), based in Leeds.

• 25 days annual leave (rising to 30) + public holidays
• Supportive, values-led workplace
• Opportunities for leadership development and career progression

As the Centre Manager, you’ll:

• Lead and oversee the delivery of holistic, gender-specific support services for women and girls
• Manage and develop a talented staff team with the support of a Deputy Manager
• Build strong partnerships and maintain effective referral pathways
• Take responsibility for contracts, budgets and reporting to funders
• Contribute to organisational strategy and drive service improvement

This is a role where you can combine people leadership with operational excellence — and see the positive impact of your work every day.

You will be:

• A strong communicator who builds relationships with ease
• Adaptable, resilient and highly organised
• Solution-focused, calm under pressure and able to manage risk effectively
• Passionate about equity, diversity and inclusion
