Senior Manager, Community Wellbeing Services, Catalyst Support
Location - Based at Nankeville & Hybrid - with regular presence across community sites, partner organisations and Catalyst locations
Salary - £41000 - £45000 p.a. FTE
We are so pleased to be partnering with Catalyst Support to help them find a Senior Manager, Community Wellbeing Service. This is a newly shaped senior leadership role with real opportunity to influence how community support is delivered across Surrey.
As one of Surrey's leading wellbeing charities, Catalyst works alongside individuals and communities to improve mental, physical and emotional health, creating accessible support that changes lives and strengthens local communities. Guided by kindness, integrity and collaboration, they are now looking for an ambitious and values-led Senior Manager to lead an important portfolio of community wellbeing services. At Catalyst Support, they believe that wellness is a right, not a privilege.
Leading a portfolio that includes Community Connections, Safe Haven and Counselling services, you'll provide strategic and operational leadership across multiple services, ensuring they are connected, high-quality and responsive to local need. More than service management, this role is about creating a genuinely joined-up approach to community wellbeing, shaping pathways, building partnerships and ensuring people can access the right support at the right time.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll work closely with the Director of Services and wider leadership team to embed a "One Catalyst" approach, bringing services together around a shared vision and operating model. You'll also play a pivotal role externally, developing relationships across the VCSE sector, statutory services and local communities, ensuring Catalyst remains a trusted and influential partner across Surrey.
They are looking for an experienced leader with a background in community services, mental health, social care, wellbeing or related fields. You'll bring experience of leading teams and services in complex environments, strong safeguarding expertise and a track record of building meaningful partnerships that improve outcomes for people and communities.
Equally important is your leadership style. You'll be someone who can hold strategic oversight whilst remaining visible and connected to frontline delivery. You'll enjoy working collaboratively, navigating complexity and supporting teams through change with clarity, empathy and purpose.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an established senior manager who is passionate about community wellbeing and wants to shape services that truly make a difference.
