Tower Bridge, London’s Defining Landmark, is a working bascule bridge, leading events venue and a popular tourist attraction and heritage site, with a formal education provision. The Bridge receives approx. 950,000 visitors a year and the venues facilitate around 200 corporate and private events.

The City Bridge Foundation (formerly Bridge House Estates) is a 900-year-old historic charity of which the City of London Corporation is Trustee. CBF has remained vital to London over the years and today its primary purpose is to maintain and support five of London’s most iconic Thames Bridges. During the past 25 years, our vision has expanded to tackle social and economic divides across the capital. Today we still maintain our bridges, but via our funding team, the ‘City Bridge Trust’, we distribute approximately £25m each year to support other charitable causes. Collaborating with civil society, foundations, policy makers and businesses, we harness the combined experience of local communities and partners to build a fairer, more inclusive London.

For the post of Head of Programme, we are seeking an experienced professional to oversee, coordinate and deliver an exciting practical programme which lays the foundation for the visitor attraction towards the following vision: To be an exemplar visitor attraction driven by social values, that excites, inspires, connects and educates everyone we reach and encounter. The role will collaborate closely with colleagues to ensure the delivery of activities at the outset of the Bridge’s journey of fundamental development effectively underpin strategic ambitions for the longer term.

Reporting regularly to a range of stakeholders, the Tower Bridge Head of Programme will assist in shaping the future of the visitor attraction by developing and executing an exciting and impactful programme of practical projects/activities, including the review and development of its resources, the spaces within and available to the attraction, and activating the public realm.

Our work transcends social boundaries, combats isolation, and builds a rich community tapestry of innovative work that transcends generations, ethnicities, faiths, and backgrounds.

Who Are We Looking For?

We’re on the lookout for a dynamic Project Manager who shares our passion for building connections and bringing innovative community arts and creative care home projects to life. If you’ve previous experience as a project manager and you’re ready to embark on a journey of collaboration, creativity, and community impact, we want to hear from you. This role would suit someone who is comfortable taking ownership of projects and, with support from our programme director, can hit the ground running. Join our small yet mighty team, bringing fresh ideas and building partnerships with charity, arts, education, social care sectors and our wider community.

Inclusive Environment: We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, and as part of our commitment to equality we’ve developed an organisational anti racism action plan which we’re in the process of delivering. We believe diversity enhances the relevance and quality of our work and we use a blind recruitment process - our panel does not see any personal details during the shortlisting process - to select the best candidates.
Hybrid Working: Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid working model, combining office and remote work to suit your preferences (we ask staff to be in the office a minimum of 50% of the time to support team collaboration).
