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.
Please use your cover letter to provide as much evidence as possible to show how your skills, abilities,
knowledge and experience meet each of the criteria in the role. Please provide examples which are
relevant to this role.
Please note, while we appreciate the value of AI tools, we strongly prefer that applicants prepare their
supporting statements with minimal use of AI. This helps us to better understand your authentic voice,
skills and motivation for this role. Thank you.

Are you a commercially and risk-aware finance professional with a strong analytical mindset and a desire to make a real impact using your skills in financial management, planning and analysis? Do you want to use and develop your knowledge and skills to support the delivery of vital services to pets at a national scale by influencing operational and strategic decision-making at a senior level?

The two roles will be equivalent, offering similar opportunities and challenges, but will be responsible for different areas of the charity’s work. One role will partner with budget holders in the Income and Engagement Directorate, which includes responsibilities for regular audits of Woodgreen’s retail estate and may involve some regional travel. The second role will partner with budget holders in the Pet and Corporate Services directorates, plus the CEO as the lead director for WGEL.
