Head of Scaling

Prospectus is delighted to be working with our client to recruit a Head of Scaling.

Our client helps local people take control of their town s future, together. In every place, people are stepping up to improve their communities. But too often, they re doing it without the backing, funding or infrastructure they need. The organisation supports a shared vision, connects energy and ideas, and helps long-term investment flow to what matters most.

With a strong foundation in North East Lincolnshire and ongoing learning from the work on the ground, our client is now aiming to support more towns to lead change on their own terms.

The Head of Scaling will play a key role in this next phase by helping to codify the organisation's approach and building a movement of other places keen to work in a similar way.

You ll work with local and national partners to build the support, tools and connections that help this work land well in different contexts. You ll also help grow a network of towns committed to long-term, locally-led change, sharing learning and building momentum together.

The successful candidate will bring experience of designing and delivering programmes across different locations. You ll be confident building partnerships, translating ideas into clear offers, and creating practical tools others can use. You ll work well across sectors, be comfortable managing complexity, and bring a collaborative and relational leadership style.

This is a permanent, full-time role (four-day working week on compressed hours). The role is remote with regular travel across the UK, including visits to London and our client partner towns.
