About Us
Fleetwood Town Community Trust (FTCT) is dedicated to supporting and improving the lives of people within the local community.
We offer a wide range of programmes in education, sport, health and social inclusion, to engage people of all ages and backgrounds, with the aim of making a lasting, positive impact on Fleetwood and the surrounding areas.
Working value our excellent working relationships with schools in the region, local authorities, and other organisations, through which we promote wellbeing, physical fitness, and community cohesion.
About the Role
Based at our exceptional Sports Complex (Poolfoot Farm) near Fleetwood, this is an exciting opportunity to lead the Trust into the future, through working with a committed staff team, Board of Trustees and highly supportive partner organisations.
The role has a number of key aspects which include:
- Leadership & Governance – working with our Board to implement our 3 year strategy, inspiring the Leadership Team to make our strategies a reality and ensuring compliance with all Charity Commission requirements
- Stakeholder & Partnership Management – acting as the Trust’s principal ambassador, building strong relationships with key stakeholders and representing the Trust at local and national forums to raise our profile and influence, as well as increasing our impact
- Income Generation, Fundraising and Financial Management - Leading the development and delivery of a diversified income generation strategy, as well as overseeing the Trust’s financial health and sustainability
- Impact, Monitoring and Evaluation – ensuring robust systems are in place to measure, evaluate and report on our social impact, and promoting a culture of learning, innovation and continuous improvement
About You
We are looking for someone special for this role. Someone who is an exceptional leader and who has demonstratable leadership experience ideally within the charity, community or public sectors. Experience within a football club environment would be great but isn’t essential.
You will need to have experience of income generation, and working with stakeholders from a diverse range of organisations to help further the work the Trust does, building on the success we have already delivered to the communities we support.
And finally, we need someone who has a passion for making a difference. Someone who can demonstrate how that passion has already made a difference in previous roles, and someone who will take the workforce on a continued journey to even more success.
