Head of Connect & Nourish

£34,107 per annum (pro rata)

3 days per week (22.5 hours based on 37 hours per week FTE)

We are evolving! GL11 is more than a community hub - it’s a catalyst for change. Rooted in trusted relationships and shaped by local people we co-create practical solutions to real challenges that put local people at the heart of change. We know that when people lead, systems shift. By building the conditions for change at a local level, GL11 bridges the gap between community-led action and wider transformation, proving that when people feel heard, safe, connected, and valued, real change happens.

As the Head of Connect & Nourish you will be responsible for providing a welcoming, accessible and nurturing environment based on all aspects of food from sourcing to delivery. This role is much more than delivering healthy, nutritious food, it is also about encouraging and enabling social and community cohesion through fellowship and support.

You will work closely with the CEO and Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to provide the strong, caring and effective leadership required for GL11 to thrive. You will consult and advise on GL11’s strategy and operational plans, making sure your team’s personal objectives are aligned to the overall plan and are on track to meet the agreed targets.

Through your leadership GL11 will continue to grow and be visible whilst meeting the varying needs of our communities. You will ensure that the welcoming and supportive culture of GL11 continues to inspire and that our vision, values and key aims are a living part of all our work. You will work collaboratively with the community to understand how, together, we can begin to effect system change in all our areas of work. You will use a community development approach and deliver through a range of resources including volunteers.

This role is based at the GL11 Community Hub in Cam, Gloucestershire. Remote working opportunities are very limited as community connection is an important part of the role.
