Participation People believe services work better with young people. We’re looking for a new Programme Manager (Targeted and Specialist Programmes) to help us, help services do that.
Our Target and Specialist Programmes provide spaces and opportunities for young people with additional needs or vulnerabilities to have a voice and for their voice to be listened to and acted upon.

You’ll be a confident self-starter, with an eye for detail AND the bigger picture, who can help us take our programmes to the next level
Applicants with strong experience of managing projects (and budgets) with young people, a commitment to Participation People’s mission and approach and experience of project monitoring, evaluation and impact reporting will thrive in this role.
In return for your hard work, we offer a generous holiday entitlement, a competitive salary, a highly flexible working arrangement and the opportunity to work in a small team of like minded people.
We would particularly welcome and encourage applications from applicants from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds and from those with disabilities, as we have identified that these groups are currently underrepresented in the organisation, particularly in management roles.
