Programme Manager (Young People)

Prospectus is pleased to be partnering an international charity to recruit a Programme Manager to lead their Youth Health Programme UK (YHP UK) across Greater Manchester. YHP UK is a five-year programme, launched in October 2020, that supports Young People in the UK to realise their right to good mental health and wellbeing, regardless of gender. This position is offered as a fixed term contract until August 2025.

As their Programme Manager, you will lead the delivery of their programme locally across Manchester working closely with community partners and Young People, to harness the power of Youth-centred Design, and find solutions that meet the specific mental health and wellbeing needs of Young People in the UK. You will be responsible for coordinating the delivery of this ambitious programme that engages Young People, communities, and grassroots organisation to create better outcomes for Young People. You will achieve this through strong coordination, and representation of the project, managing a portfolio of local partnerships that can engage Young People and create lasting change for the communities they reside in.

To be successful, you will have proven experience of coordinating and delivering mid-size to large scale regional programmes in youth, community, mental health and/or education settings to support Young People. Due to the nature of the programme, knowledge of working in gender equality, children's or mental health sector in the UK is necessary, combined with an understanding of the needs of Young People in the Greater Manchester area. You will have demonstrable experience of building and maximising partnerships, internally and externally to achieve change, and will have experience of delivering clear and concise project delivery plans, implementing plans and budget management.
