Are you a strong and highly motivated team leader?
If you answered yes to all of the above, this could be the role for you!
We’re looking for an experienced people manager with extensive programme delivery experience, to set up and deliver key programmes: our children and families work; volunteering and befriending projects; and development of a vibrant calendar of informal adult classes.
What we do
Time & Talents is a lively, busy community centre in the heart of Rotherhithe, SE16. Set in a leafy heritage building, and ‘T&T2’, our second venue in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, we offer something for everyone. With a history of 133 years of supporting people of all ages in Rotherhithe and Bermondsey, we bring people together for mutual support, fun and friendship, with a wide range of services and activities for older people and other adults, along with volunteering and children and families’ projects.
Over the last three years, we have developed an extensive children and families programme, and we need to continue to expand its reach, ensure it is designed to meet local and changing needs, and to ensure the team delivers on our grant commitments. Alongside this, we offer informal learning opportunities for adults, especially around practical skills like gardening, crafts, ukulele and mindfulness, and a range of hosted activities including yoga, the local history society and choirs. Given the major changes in the last few months, it is a good time for a refresh of the programmes, and we need a fresh pair of eyes to help us take things to the next stage.
