Director
ML Community Enterprise
Full time, permanent role
London SW9
£54,500 - £62,500

ML Community Enterprise (MLCE) is Lambeth's first ever staff mutual, and we support around 400 young people each year. We provide counselling and therapeutic work and help support young people into a variety of developmental opportunities beyond the Marcus Lipton centre, including employment.

We largely work with young people from local communities, including those not in employment, education or training, young offenders, at-risk and risk-taking young people aged 12 to 19 years (and up to 25 with special needs). We also support those active in gangs to exit gang culture.

We encourage participation from all young people including those with disabilities, active in gangs, LGBT, at risk of perpetrating/experiencing other crime, those in the criminal justice system, and those with Mental Health or Special Education Needs.

As our new Director, you will be joining us a time when we have achieved great success in being recognised as a pioneering provider of therapeutic personal development interventions that can spark a new trajectory for young people who have experienced chaos in their lives and who are most at risk of harm in all its forms.

Our work has attracted interest and attention far beyond the boundaries of Brixton, Myatts Field and the London Borough of Lambeth. We are being recognised across London and in other major cities in the UK where the impact of social and racial inequity is felt the hardest.

I hope you are inspired to want to join us on our journey to bring hope to young people and wider communities and self-belief in their potential to thrive.
