UWUK funding is privately sourced so that the charity is driving new revenue to the voluntary sector.

The Head of Programmes leads UWUK's talented delivery team and works closely with the CEO on relationship development and strategic planning.

* Self-motivated and results-driven
* Proactive and responsive
* Ability to work on own initiative and as part of a team
