Job Vacancies | C2C Social Action

C2C Social Action is a Christian charity working across Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes. We support
individuals, many with lived experience of the criminal justice system, to break cycles of offending and
disadvantage—and step into brighter, more hopeful futures. Our services include women’s centres, a men’s hub
and housing project, a community garden, and a range of specialist support projects.

C2C Social Action is seeking an experienced and passionate individual to manage our new Kettering Women’s
Centre and Shop.
The Women’s Centre provides a safe, supportive environment for women at any stage of the criminal justice
system, working in partnership with probation, health services and a range of community organisations.
Alongside this, you will oversee the opening and running of our first C2C shop, creating opportunities for
fundraising, community engagement, and volunteering.

     As Manager, you will:

Lead the day-to-day operations of both the Centre and shop.
Recruit, train and support volunteers.
Provide direct support to women through 1:1 and group sessions.
Act as the designated safeguarding lead for the Centre.
Build strong relationships with partners, stakeholders and the local community.
