About the role:
We’re building a Transport Solutions Team that works flexibly across all the tools in our delivery kit – from grants and innovation pilots to research, partnerships, and commercial interventions. Our growing portfolio includes flagship projects tackling challenges such as inclusive EV charging infrastructure, complex community transport needs, and large-scale research like the National Centre for Accessible Transport.
We are now recruiting for three Transport Solutions Managers, one permanent position and two 24 month fixed-term contracts. These roles will lead the design and delivery of high-impact work focused primarily on accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging – a key priority for the Foundation. This is a pivotal role that combines technical understanding, programme delivery, and stakeholder leadership, and is designed to work flexibly across our matrix structure.
While your core focus will be on EV charging, you also may be expected to lead and/or contribute to other transport projects across the transport themes.
This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, purpose-led team driving change in the transport system for disabled people, and to work on some of the most complex and impactful projects in the sector.
What you will be doing:
- Lead the design and delivery of accessible EV charging initiatives, working closely with Programme Directors and partners across government, industry and the charity sector.
- Scope, commission and manage projects related to EV charging – such as pilots, commercial partnerships, research studies or funding opportunities – ensuring alignment to strategic priorities.
- Bring technical and market understanding of EV charging (e.g. standards, installation, interoperability, user experience, accessibility requirements) to shape the Foundation’s approach in this space.
- Manage end-to-end delivery of specific initiatives, including planning, budgeting, due diligence, contracting, risk management, and governance reporting.
- Use insight, evidence and stakeholder engagement to shape new programmes of work and ensure delivery reflects the needs of disabled people.
- Work flexibly across our matrix team, contributing to projects or funding rounds outside your own portfolio as needed, and supporting colleagues with specialist input or delivery resource.
- Build and maintain relationships with key external stakeholders, including OZEV, DfT, BSI, chargepoint operators, local authorities, disability organisations and industry experts.
- Collaborate across the Foundation, including with the Insight & Evaluation, Finance and Communications teams, to ensure high-quality delivery, learning and visibility of our work.
- Bring and apply knowledge in key areas as accessible transport, disability, inclusive innovation, grant making or systems change.
- Support the development and continuous improvement of our delivery models, funding mechanisms and ways of working.
Your experience:
Must haves:
- Experience managing complex projects, ideally in EV charging, transport, or energy sectors.
- Ability to translate technical or policy insight (e.g. standards, user experience, accessibility, or engineering considerations) into practical delivery and funding approaches.
- Experience managing projects or funding opportunities from inception through to delivery, ideally across multiple partners or suppliers.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across government, industry, and the charity sector.
- Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to deliver multiple, complex workstreams to deadlines.
- Strong analytical capability, able to interpret data, research and qualitative insight to inform recommendations and decision-making.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce high-quality reports, business cases, and presentations for senior audiences.
- Confident IT literacy, including Microsoft Office (particularly Excel and PowerPoint).
Nice to haves:
- Understanding of EV charging systems, standards (e.g. PAS 1899), and market dynamics.
- Experience working alongside government, local authorities, or industry partners on projects.
- Familiarity with innovation or funding mechanisms such as pilots, challenge funds, co-design, or commissioning frameworks.
- Understanding of wider disability and transport issues, such as the social model of disability and key accessibility barriers.
- Experience supporting or line managing others in a team or project context.
If you’re interested in applying and excited about working with us but are unsure if you have the right skills and experience, we'd still encourage you to apply.
We are building a future where all disabled people have the transport options to make the journeys they choose.

About us
Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports is a youth charity specifically using sport to support social change. Sport is our hook to engage young people and one of the vehicles through which we support youth development. But our purpose is not to create elite athletes or address physical inactivity. Rather, we create opportunities for young people to recognise their strengths and develop the skills they need to thrive both now and in the future.
We work across London, Portsmouth, and Leicester, specifically in areas of high deprivation. We embed evidence-based positive youth development programmes into primary and secondary schools. These programmes are delivered by our trusted, high-quality coach-mentors who deliver year-round to ensure that young people have ongoing access to sport, mentoring, enrichment, and employability activities. The result of this work is that every year, Greenhouse Sports support over 9,000 young people to attend school more often, improve their wellbeing, and raise their aspirations, transforming life chances in the communities that need us the most.
The Person
We’re looking for a proactive and driven individual who combines safeguarding knowledge and expertise with a passion for relationships. You’ll have experience managing safeguarding concerns, delivering training, and developing partnerships, but what sets you apart is your ability to adapt your knowledge to diverse settings and respond positively with young people’s wellbeing at the forefront of your mind. You’re confident engaging with diverse stakeholders – from internal staff to PE teachers, School Heads, Trust CEOs through to local LADOs and other charity partners.
You’ll be highly organised, adaptable, and considered. You’ll recognise that importance of placing safeguarding at the heart of everything we do, while also understanding how to manage complex and varied relationships across partners. Your communication skills will help you represent Greenhouse Sports across our partners, championing our programmes. If you’re motivated by making a difference and want to be at the heart of a charity that really makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
The Role
Are you ready to make a real impact in the lives of young people? As Safeguarding and Partnerships Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind ensuring all our activities are safe and available to as many young people as possible.
