Job description

Are you a fantastic leader who is passionate about supporting young people into employment in the Health and Social Care sector? The King's Trust is currently going through an exciting period of development. We have ambitions to grow our offer to young people by providing a blended approach of face-to-face and digital delivery and support. To help us on this journey we are looking for passionate and motivated individuals to lead our dynamic teams to work with young people either directly through 121 work or the delivery of programmes. This role incorporates our partnership with the Department of Health where we are working to support 10,000 young people into the sector. We need a fantastic leader to help us achieve our ambitions across East Midlands- with particular focus on Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, Derby City, Leicester City and Peterborough, and ensure the success of our Health and Social Care programmes and partnerships. This role will involve leading a small team of delivery staff working to support young people in the East Midlands. We are passionate about flexible working but it's worth being aware that this role will be based across Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester, and you will be required to travel across the patch to support your team and our delivery partners. As part of the Leadership Team, you will be responsible for overseeing the delivery of our Health and Social Care programmes, in line with contractual requirements. You will lead the Health and Social Care team to develop and implement our delivery plan and ensure we meet targets, ensuring that every young person engaged progresses with an appropriate pathway of learning and development and one to one support. You will be a role model for your team, demonstrating best practice in how we work with young people in a safe way to ensure we deliver maximum value for young people and partners.

A background in employment-based programmes and/or knowledge of the Healthcare sector would be great as well as the ability to build and sustain stakeholder relationships and inspire colleagues. To be successful in the role of Delivery Manager, you will be able to engage in challenges with optimism and resilience and be adaptive and flexible - embracing change and innovation. If you are up for a challenge and working in a great team, we would love to hear from you!

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 Delivery Managers! Perks for working at The Trust!
