Assistant Director - People

Our size has nothing to do with the difference that we make to the lives of adults and children. But it does mean that you will be able to work closely with the people whose lives you're improving, particularly children – something that often gets lost at this high level in other organisations.

For a confidential discussion about the role, please contact our consultants at Penna – Jonathan Swain on 07500 961 727 or Sally Abbott on 0870 850 2047

The City of London Corporation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
