Centrepoint was founded in 1969 with a simple but bold belief: that no young person should be left to sleep on the streets. That is why, in 2021, we committed to an extraordinary goal to end youth homelessness by 2037. We know we cannot eliminate the threat of youth homelessness entirely, but we do believe we can make it rare, brief and unrepeated. By 2037, we envisage a world in which far fewer young people ever reach crisis point; where those who do receive rapid, effective support; and affordable, sustainable housing ensures they never face homelessness again.

Achieving this vision requires an Executive Team that leads with conviction and imagination. We are seeking leaders who believe this mission is both possible and necessary - individuals with the expertise, courage and commitment to drive change, challenge assumptions and shape a future where every young person has a safe place to call home. A new Operations Division is being created primarily to oversee the services that enable the organisation to function successfully and healthy, financially stable, prepared for the future, and comply with all its legal and regulatory obligations. 

As Executive Director, you would be first and foremost a leader of the organisation, committed to the vision of ending youth homelessness by 2037, and reinforcing and promoting Centrepoint’s values personally, both internally and externally. The Executive Director, Operations will lead on finance and financial operations; human resources (including learning and development and volunteering); technology; business systems; corporate performance management; risk management; internal audit and assurance; regulatory and professional compliance; procurement; health and safety; contracts management; and facilities.
