Babyzone Head of Hub(s)- North West

A fulfilling full-time leadership role, ideal for individuals with a background in teaching, early years or family engagement seeking flexible, impactful work.

About Babyzone

At Babyzone, we believe that every child deserves a fair start in life, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our mission is to empower families and their children, from conception to age five, by providing access to high-quality early years learning opportunities that nurture the parent-child bond. The need for support in early childhood development has never been more critical. Babyzone is a charity funded by foundations, philanthropists and trusts, including global venture builder Blenheim Chalcot. We serve families who struggle to access support elsewhere - due to financial, geographic, or cultural barriers - by offering free, evidence-based classes and resources in premium, fully accessible community hubs. With nine Babyzone Hubs already open across the UK, others due to open shortly and ambitious plans for growth, particularly in the North West of England, we’re thrilled to announce the opportunity for a full-time Babyzone Head to join our expanding team.
