Lead a Charity That Makes a Real Difference – Furniture Project Manager Opportunity

Woking Community Furniture Project is seeking an experienced, motivated, and community-focused Furniture Project Manager to lead its well-established charity and help transform lives across the local area.

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled manager who is passionate about making a positive social impact while overseeing the day-to-day operations of a respected community organisation. Offering a salary from £32,000 for a four-day working week, the role combines strategic leadership, operational management, financial oversight, and community engagement.

As the organisation's senior operational leader, the Project Manager will work closely with the Board of Trustees to ensure the charity continues to thrive. They will oversee staff and volunteers, manage finances and compliance, maintain strong relationships with local partners, and help shape the future direction of the charity.

The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring the charity operates efficiently and sustainably. Responsibilities include supervising the Bookkeeper and Shop Manager, overseeing financial management and payroll, monitoring stock and pricing, maintaining health and safety compliance, and ensuring the organisation meets all regulatory requirements.

Building relationships within the local community is another important aspect of the role. The Project Manager will represent the charity at meetings and events, strengthen partnerships with organisations including local authorities, funding bodies and community groups, and help raise the charity's profile across the region. They will also work alongside Trustees to identify new funding opportunities, prepare funding applications, and support the charity's long-term financial sustainability.

The role would suit someone with proven leadership experience, excellent organisational and financial management skills, and the confidence to work collaboratively with Trustees, employees, volunteers, and external stakeholders. Strong communication skills, strategic thinking, and a commitment to the values of the voluntary sector are essential.

This is more than a management position—it's an opportunity to lead an organisation that delivers meaningful support to local people while promoting reuse, sustainability, and community wellbeing.

If you're looking for a rewarding leadership role where your experience can make a lasting difference, Woking Community Furniture Project would love to hear from you.
