Centrepoint operates a hybrid working model. The requirement is a minimum of 50% of your working week in the office. For most full-time colleagues, this means attending the office for five days over a two-week period (e.g. two days one week and three days the next). For colleagues on different contracts, this will be adjusted accordingly.

About you

You'll be an experienced programme leader with a proven track record of delivering large-scale organisational transformation and complex change programmes. You'll thrive in fast-paced environments, be comfortable influencing senior stakeholders and know how to bring people together around a shared vision.

• Experience implementing organisational change that improves systems, processes and ways of working.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex information into clear, engaging updates for a range of audiences.
• A collaborative leadership style and a passion for continuous improvement.

What you'll be doing

As Senior Programme Manager, you'll provide strategic leadership for Centrepoint's Big Change Programme, ensuring projects remain aligned to organisational priorities and deliver measurable outcomes.

You'll:

• Lead the planning, delivery and governance of a complex portfolio of transformation projects.
• Manage the programme budget, timeline, risks and resource planning. Ensure there is an appropriate structure for overseeing individual project management of budget and delivery to time.
• Develop and maintain programme reporting for senior leadership, trustees and governance boards.
• Drive high-quality programme management standards, ensuring appropriate controls, business cases and change management processes are in place.
• Work closely with project managers, suppliers and technology partners to deliver successful system implementations.
• Build strong relationships across Centrepoint, ensuring colleagues are engaged and supported throughout change.
• Help shape future digital and organisational transformation, identifying opportunities for continuous improvement and innovation.
• Champion collaboration, learning and best practice across project delivery.
• Ensure the BCP is connected to wider change initiatives across Centrepoint.

Why join Centrepoint?

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of one of the UK's leading charities. You'll join an ambitious organisation committed to improving the lives of young people while helping transform how we operate.

In return for your efforts you'll receive a competitive salary, excellent learning and development opportunities and a fantastic range of benefits including:

• 25 days annual leave, rising to 27 days with service
• Healthcare Cash Plan
• Private Medical Insurance
• Income Protection
• Employer pension contribution of 5%

Why Join Us? 

This is a high-impact role with real scope to shape how Young Citizens grows its income, partnerships and long-term sustainability. You will work closely with senior leadership, take ownership of a key organisational function, and directly contribute to scaling our impact over the coming years.  

You will join a purpose-led, ambitious and collaborative team committed to strengthening democracy by equipping young people with the skills, knowledge and confidence to participate actively in society. 

We are a growing, agile organisation with a strong focus on learning and development. We invest in our people and provide real opportunities to build expertise, take ownership and grow alongside the organisation as we scale over the next three years.

What we're looking for

We’re looking for a Programme Officer to join our team to support and manage the delivery of our programmes. You’ll report to our Senior Programme Officer and work closely with our programmes team to coordinate and deliver high-quality employability programmes, manage volunteers, and support our young people. This role is an opportunity to add both delivery capacity and complementary expertise to our team as we grow.

In the role, you’ll be working on:

• Programme Management.
  • Once you’ve learned the ropes, you’ll move on to end-to-end management of programme delivery. This includes workshop development, supporting programme recruitment, operations and logistics, and working closely with volunteers and partners to ensure that programme delivery is impactful.
  • You’ll start by supporting existing programmes team members and, over time, take on responsibility for leading on cohorts, while supporting colleagues with delivery across our programmes.
  • You’ll need to be able to combine strong delivery with solid preparation behind the scenes, while thinking carefully about both participant experience and the operational detail needed to deliver high-quality programme activities.
  • You’ll also help collect and interpret data, reflect on feedback, and contribute to improving our programmes over time.
• Volunteer Management.
  • You’ll help recruit, onboard, and support our volunteers, ensuring timely communication and a positive experience for the assessors, mentors, and facilitators who work with us.
  • You’ll help create a positive and engaging volunteer experience by building strong relationships with our volunteers through regular check-ins, community touch-points, and thoughtful communication.
  • You’ll also support the coordination and administration involved in volunteer management, helping volunteers understand what’s needed and ensuring things run smoothly behind the scenes.
• Stakeholder Engagement.
  • Your role will include stakeholder engagement at all levels, from scheduling volunteering days with corporate partners, to checking in with employer partners about how our young people are doing on their placements and supporting youth engagement and outreach.
• Support to Young People.
  • A large part of your role is to provide direct support to young people through regular 1:1 check-ins, taking the time to get to know them and their goals so that you can signpost tailored support, opportunities, and resources.
  • You’ll also use tools like email and Slack to keep young people informed, share opportunities and resources, and help build a sense of community throughout their time on the programme.
  • You don’t need previous experience of helping young people navigate the jobs market, as we can support you to build your knowledge and understanding of best practice.
• Facilitation.
  • You’ll design and deliver training for the young people on our programmes, as well as information sessions and training for our corporate partners and volunteers.
  • We’re looking for someone who is confident facilitating sessions, or motivated to continue developing their facilitation skills, with support from the team.

Like any growing charity, our work is constantly evolving and this is a great opportunity to be part of shaping our organisation for the future. We’ll encourage you to share your feedback and suggestions regularly.

What we're looking for

We’re not necessarily looking for one particular professional background, and you don’t need to have a degree. However, we’d be especially interested in candidates who can bring relevant experience or strengths in areas that deepen our team’s existing offer, such as community outreach, volunteer management, programme management, or monitoring and evaluation.

This is not an entry-level role, and we are looking for someone who can bring some professional experience and apply sound judgement in a fast-moving environment.

• Organisation, proactivity and adaptability.
  • We’re looking for someone with strong coordination and organisational skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to work proactively.
  • You’ll need to be comfortable managing multiple priorities at once, adapting as things change, and delivering to a high standard in a fast-paced environment.
• Problem solving.
  • We’re looking for someone who can think creatively, solve problems, and respond positively when things don’t go to plan.
• Communication and facilitation.
  • You’ll communicate with everyone from young people to corporate partners, so you’ll need strong written and verbal communication skills. As this role will involve providing feedback on CVs, job applications, and cover letters, strong written English and attention to detail are important.
  • You should be comfortable facilitating sessions or feel motivated to build your confidence in this area.
• Relationship building.
  • We’re looking for someone who is comfortable building relationships with a wide range of people (including partners and volunteers) and representing the organisation in a warm and professional way.
  • We’d particularly value someone who can bring confidence or experience in external relationship-building and community outreach.
  • Many of the young people we work with have experienced substantial barriers to work, education, or other areas of their lives. We’re looking for someone who can build trusting relationships with young people and who approaches others with empathy, warmth, and good judgement.
• Resilience and a growth mindset.
  • Adaptability and perseverance are crucial to the success of the young people on our programme, and it’s important that our team models these behaviours too.
  • We need someone who can operate well in uncertainty, learn as they go, and stay motivated through challenges.
• Commitment to our mission.
  • You don’t need experience in the early careers, youth, or education sector. However, we do expect the successful candidate to show a clear understanding of and commitment to our mission, and a genuine desire to help drive our work forward.

We work with a diverse group of young people from underserved communities. We particularly encourage applications from minoritised ethnic candidates and those who have lived experience relevant to our programme, particularly non-graduates and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

The Damilola Taylor Trust (DTT) is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in May 2001 in memory of Damilola Taylor and registered as a charity in July 2001.Our founding purpose is to provide inner-city youths with opportunities to play, learn and live their lives free of fear and violence, and with optimism for a future where opportunities abound. Our Mission is to develop the hope, optimism and self-esteem of young people so that they can:  Lead healthy lives; Stay in School; Grow up to become independent productive adults; Have lofty aspirations and work to attain their innate potential.

Although we have recovered from the Covid 19 pandemic, the nation now faces the worst cost of living crisis since the 1950s, thanks to the Russian Ukraine war, and now the US Israel Iran one which have disrupted the global energy market. There is no denying that, in the UK, young people (YP) are being disproportionally affected. We are deeply concerned about the impact this crisis is having on the young people that we work with across the board.

The UK youth unemployment rate for 16-24-year-olds sits at a concerning 16.2%, an 11-year high. There are over 1 million young people not in education, employment or training (NEET). We know that high numbers of vacancies do not translate into opportunities for all young people, especially those from BAME background who already face discrimination in the labour market.

We are responding to this emerging issue, by working harder and smarter to support young people that we work with for whom the transition from formal education into employment is not automatic. We work to help this group have access to economic opportunities in these challenging times. We believe that our services bridge this gap and provide opportunities for young people to develop wider social, personal and self -management skills required for productive participation and integration into society.
