Job description

As the leader of our National Delivery team, you will shape how The King's Trust supports thousands of young people across the UK to break down barriers and thrive. You will lead national partnerships, drive improvements on how we reach young people, and bring our strategy to life, ensuring every young person experiences impactful, high-quality support on their journey towards education, securing a job or starting a business. You will foster collaboration across our regional and national teams both in delivery and across the organisation, strengthen our use of data to make informed decisions and improve our services, and champion equality, diversity and inclusion at every level. With your expertise in leading large-scale service delivery, solving complex problems and embedding positive changes and stakeholder engagement, you will make sure our support reaches those who need it most. This is a pivotal opportunity to influence national change during The King's Trust's 50th Anniversary year. It's a moment to celebrate our legacy while shaping the future. If you are a bold, strategic leader who believes in the power of opportunity, join us and help drive lasting impact for young people across the UK.

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 the Senior Head of National Delivery.
