St. Paul’s Community Development Trust is a charity in Balsall Heath, Birmingham that has been established for very nearly half a century, working with and for the local community and wider City.
Regulated by Ofsted, we have two services rated outstanding and two services rated good. There is a nursery, early years provision, a secondary school for pupils with behavioural and social needs and an after-school club. This demonstrates the quality and depth of the work we do in one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in the country.
In addition, our wonderful City Farm provides a host of well-being activities as well as visits from local families, schools, nurseries and other groups.
We are seeking a CEO who can lead the Charity, support the Board of Trustees in setting the strategic direction, inspire the 90 dedicated professionals, and be a role model to the children, young people and families we work with.
Given the challenging economic environment in which all Charities operate, you must be resilient, hard-working, authentic and emotionally intelligent. This might be your first CEO role or it might be a role you consider as you review your career goals and aspirations.
Whatever your reason for applying we look forward to talking with you.

Attached is a Birmingham Mail article that shows the positive impact St. Paul’s make with the work we do with children and families.
Whilst we are not appreciative of the third world headlines, it does show how we help to improve lives particularly through the last two years.
The Active Wellbeing Society (TAWS) and St. Paul’s Community Development Trust have been in partnership for two years working together to ensure the funding of the Balsall Heath City Farm, as well as working together on the site to bring support and services to the local community in addition to those already being provided there. This includes a community kitchen and a portable Share Shack.
St. Paul’s Trust would like to thank The Roger & Douglas Turner Charitable Trust (CIO) for the grant of £3,000 to enhance our offer to improve the lives of children.
St. Paul’s is happy to promote the Healthy Start Scheme and encourages families to access their entitlement.
Healthy Start is a government scheme to improve the health of low-income pregnant women and families. Women who are 10˖ weeks pregnant and families with children under four years old qualify if they are on benefits and tax credits. The scheme offers eligible women and families, FREE vouchers worth £4.25 (or £8.50 for a baby in the first year) to spend on milk, fruit, vegetables and first stage infant formula milk. In addition, families also receive Healthy Start vitamin vouchers.
For the last few years, we have entered the Royal Horticultural Society’s Heart of England in Bloom – It’s Your Neighbourhood Awards and we are pleased to report that, this year, we have been awarded: Level 5 – Outstanding!

We were able to provide 20 play scheme places per day for children most affected by Covid over the Easter holidays. We opened for 9 days and ran afternoon sessions offering children healthy snacks and fun activities including Easter art & craft, sports and games, an Easter Egg Hunt, activities on the farm and trips out to Moseley Bog.
All the children were referred by our local schools and they really enjoyed themselves. The scheme was fully funded by ‘The Grimmitt Trust’ who have supported our play schemes previously and kindly donated enough funding to enable everything to be free of charge for parents. We were also donated Easter Eggs from the YMCA that were well received!
