Camp Jojo is currently in transition. Over the first 8 years it has worked from one established site in Mersea, Essex; but we are now opening a second site near Appleby in Cumbria. The role of Program Manager will work across the whole organisation, towards the successful development of the values and the proven model in a second site; and its partnership with the Essex site will be an important part of the role.

Camp Jojo is growing from a young, largely trustee led, organisation to a staff team led organisation. Again this role will be a fundamental part of that transition. This is a predominantly an operational post, and not responsible for the finances of organisation, though it will deliver operations within the board approved budget. They will also sit on, or chair, several of the Committees of the charity; including the Senior Operations Team.

The role will offer leadership to key functions of Camp Jojo, Camp Jojo staff and contractors, and to members of the Camp Jojo Board, in relation to the work of the charity. Whilst the majority of the work will be remote the incumbent will be required to attend some meetings and events in person, including at both sites. They will also be required to attend at least part of the actual camp events. They may need to work flexibly, according to the seasonal demands of the charity.

The Program Manager will have a varied and sometimes high-pace job environment. As such, they will need to handle multiple tasks, manage their own time well, interact professionally with the Camp Jojo community and be very good communicators. They will deal with model consistency, values, and operational issues across both sites. 

We are now seeking a proactive and purposeful leader, as our new Deputy Director, Funding Strategy.

In this role you will oversee our core funding strategy capability, ensuring The Fund stays ahead of change and remains at the leading edge of grantmaking practice.

You will have holistic oversight of funding strategy from inception to decision by executive and non-executive committees, and drive through into embedded practice.

We are looking for an engaging candidate, who can provide clear leadership to this vital brief. You will be responsible for representing the Fund, developing excellent relationships with senior level external stakeholders as well as actively engaging with and building constructive relationships with senior level colleagues across the Senior Management Team and all Directorates.  You will take the lead in understanding our progress in delivering funding strategy across a devolved context, identifying gaps and opportunities to go further in the delivery of our ambitions

This post is critical for the development and improvement of our overall funding strategy, driving the flow through into practice and working across the Fund to realise the ambitions we have set out.We are looking for a candidate to promote a culture of experimentation, and collaboration that supports our priorities around equity, environmental sustainability, and community power and evolve our funding policies and practice —making them more open, insight-driven, and transformative.
