Director of Operations

The growth of Empower Youth Zones has created an exciting opportunity to establish 2x new Senior Leadership Roles within the charity. We are now looking for 2x Director of Operations to lead the day-to-day operations of both HideOut Youth Zone and Salford Youth Zone (due to open in 2025)

They will specifically drive the development and execution of HideOut and Salford Youth Zone's operational plans and the development of the annual business plans. They will do this by supporting, leading and motivating the Operational Leadership Teams, taking responsibility for the efficient and effective delivery of the internal operations of the Youth Zones including both the back office, administrative functions and the offer to young people and from time-to-time deputising for the Chief Executive Officer, while they work to extend and further develop project work, by engaging with a wider set of external stakeholders, collaborators and partners.
