Make a lasting difference to people’s lives in Blackpool

Citizens Advice Blackpool has grown significantly in recent years, expanding our reach and developing innovative projects that respond to local needs. We’re proud of our impact — helping thousands of people every year to find a way forward with the issues they face, from debt, benefits and housing to employment, energy, and health.

We are now seeking a Deputy CEO to join our leadership team at an exciting stage in our development.

Working closely with the Chief Executive and Trustee Board, you’ll play a key role in shaping our future, driving income generation through trusts, foundations and grant funding, overseeing the delivery of funded contracts, and ensuring we can clearly demonstrate our impact to funders and partners.

You’ll bring experience from the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector — someone who understands the challenges and opportunities of leading a local charity. You’ll be confident in writing successful funding bids, managing funded projects, analysing data, and producing high-quality reports.

Most importantly, you’ll share our values of social justice, inclusion and respect, with a genuine commitment to helping local people build better lives.
