YMCA St Paul's Group is a charity that aims to support and empower young people and communities throughout London by providing life-changing youth work, essential community services, inclusive health and wellbeing centres, and supported accommodation for those who are at risk of homelessness. The organisation aims to create thriving places for young people and flourishing communities.

About the Role:

As Group Director of People & Culture, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of YMCA St Paul’s Group (SPG). Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and sitting on the Executive Team, you will provide visionary leadership for our People and Culture function, ensuring we continue to be a place where staff, volunteers, and communities can thrive.
This is a unique opportunity to lead with both professional expertise and faith-informed values. You will develop and drive an ambitious People Strategy that champions inclusivity, embeds our Christian ethos, and creates a culture where every individual feels a sense of belonging and purpose. Alongside stewarding our ethos, you will inspire and support managers and teams across the organisation to realise their full potential, aligning people practices with our mission of empowering young people and fostering flourishing communities.
Your portfolio will span strategic HR leadership, organisational development, chaplaincy oversight, and cultural transformation. You will guide and mentor senior leaders within HR, shared services, and chaplaincy, ensuring excellence in employment practice, safeguarding, diversity and inclusion, and workforce development. With responsibility for financial stewardship of People and Culture budgets, you will also ensure resources are used wisely to deliver long-term impact.

Your role is integral to the YMCA St. Paul’s Group, contributing significantly to our mission of offering high-quality services tailored to our customers’ needs. As part of our Executive Team, your expertise will not only lead your department but also shape the future direction of our Charity.
