Centre & Community Development Manager

There has never been a more exciting time to join the HEY Smile Foundation team. Our work spans the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE), as well as connecting opportunities with the private and public sector.

We are connected, joining assets to community knowledge, creativity and inspiration. We help VCSE organisations of all shapes and sizes be heard and to play a part in solutions, rather than just highlighting problems.

We have grown significantly in the last 14 years yet remain agile enough to respond to the community’s need, and not prescribe the same methodology ‘because that’s what has always been done’.

We are sustainable in our own right. Whilst developing others, we have ensured we kept one eye on our own platform, securing £3m in assets and generating an average of £800k per year in earned income. Ensuring we can be masters of our own destiny enables us to focus on the Wow not Woe in our communities across Hull and the East Riding.

Covid 19 provided us with an opportunity to share our way of working further, and in the East Riding we are seen as a community lead and the ‘go to charity’. We are proud to say we have the strongest charitable board in the region, and likewise we have a team of highly skilled and proactive charity leaders.

In March 2022 we will take on the Crown Building, previously home to Bridlington’s Job Centre

The lease of this building is on a test and learn basis and will see us bring together a host of voluntary and community organisations, alongside some statutory partners and corporate volunteers to support the pandemic recovery of this proud and resourceful East Yorkshire Coastal Town.

The successful candidate for this role will be working closely with our Community Development team, be at the forefront of making the building’s doors open for all, connecting services, enhancing health and well-being of residents.

If you love a job where no two days are the same and love to see the positive impact of your day on local people then this might just be the next role for you.
