We are looking for someone with excellent leadership and interpersonal skills to grow the delivery of our programmes across Manchester. The King's Trust is committed to building a workforce that is as diverse as the young people that represent modern-day Britain, and we are ultimately here to support. As part of our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy, we are wanting to build a management and leadership team that has greater representation of the diverse communities across England and particularly welcome candidates with lived experiences from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds.
You will be integral to the England leadership team and have responsibility for a team of managers and youth development leads working across the Manchester area supporting young people through our direct delivery to young people and with specialist delivery partners. Your work will ensure our footprint mirrors the communities in which we work and the young people we support. This role is perfect for you if you have a strong track record in operational management (ideally 5 years plus) together with the experience of leading a large staff team with knowledge of foundational employability and enterprise and if you are seeking a role where you can shape, influence, and implement, ensuring excellent standards of delivery. Regular attendance at our King's Trust centre in Manchester will be required. We are looking for a passionate and driven colleague, who is able to work collaboratively across the Trust and champion the work of the Manchester team both internally and externally.
Please submit a CV and Cover Letter that includes your experience, transferable skills, and motivation to work for The King's Trust! The Team will be in touch about the next steps shortly after the closing date.
Why do we need Head of Delivery - Manchester? Last year, we helped more than 40,000 Young People, with three in four young people on our programmes moving into a positive outcome in work, education, or training. The young people we help face a range of challenges, such as unemployment, mental health issues, or some who have been in trouble with the law. We believe all young people should have the chance to succeed, and that young people are the key to a positive and prosperous future for all of us. We want to continue having a positive impact on young people's lives and we couldn't do this without the important work of Head of Delivery - Manchester!
