About the role:
Some services need more than strong management — they need a leader who can hold the whole picture, set the standard and keep young people’s futures at the centre when the work is busy, fast-moving and high stakes.

You’ll also play a key role in strengthening partnership working across Camden, including with local authorities, commissioners and partner agencies. From referrals and move-on pathways to Ofsted readiness, data, young people’s feedback and continuous improvement, you’ll make sure the service is not only well run, but constantly learning, improving and ambitious for the young people it supports. At SHP, you’ll also be part of a supportive learning culture, with access to training, development and opportunities to keep growing as a leader while shaping a service that really matters.
About you:
- You bring strong experience managing accommodation-based, residential, youth, housing, social care or similar services, with the confidence to lead a sizeable team and hold service-wide standards.
- You understand the responsibilities that come with managing a young people’s service, including safeguarding, housing management, health and safety, performance, quality and risk.
- You’re confident supporting teams to work with young people facing multiple disadvantage, using trauma informed, psychologically informed and strengths-based practice to shape meaningful, personalised support.
- You can balance warmth with accountability, creating a team culture where staff feel supported, clear on expectations and able to deliver high-quality work.
- You build trust quickly with staff, young people and partners, and bring the integrity, curiosity and courage needed to lead a service where people can thrive.

As Activity Plan and Engagement Manager, you will take the lead on developing the TCCEP Activity Plan and Volunteer Engagement Plan, bringing together partner expertise, consultation insights and consultant outputs into a coherent, inclusive and fundable plan that meets NLHF requirements.
This is not a delivery role. Your focus will be on shaping, coordinating and integrating contributions from across the partnership to create something ambitious, realistic and compelling. You will provide strategic leadership across the Engagement and Education Workstreams, working closely with delivery partners, consultants and stakeholders to ensure all activity is aligned, accessible and outcome-focused.
What You'll Be Doing
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Leading the development of the Activity Plan and Action Plan, ensuring all components are aligned, integrated and NLHF-compliant
- Leading the development of the Volunteer Engagement Plan and coordinating integration of consultant-led outputs
- Providing strategic leadership across the Engagement and Education Workstreams
- Facilitating workstream meetings, workshops and partner discussions
- Working with the Programme Manager and partners to define activities, audiences, outputs, outcomes, costs and delivery responsibilities
- Coordinating stakeholder, community, school and volunteer mapping
- Ensuring activities are inclusive, accessible and aligned with EDIB principles
- Contributing engagement and education data to Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL)
- Providing regular progress, risk and delivery updates to the Programme Manager and Steering Group
What We're Looking For
We are seeking someone who can bring together ideas, people and evidence to create a clear, compelling and fundable Activity Plan. You will be confident navigating complexity, coordinating multiple partners and synthesising diverse inputs into a coherent whole.
Essential experience and skills include:
- Experience developing strategic plans or programmes for funders
- Experience in engagement and/or education programme development
- Experience coordinating multi-partner projects
- Strong written communication skills
- Ability to manage multiple inputs and deadlines
The following would be an advantage:
- Experience of National Lottery Heritage Fund projects
- Understanding of evaluation frameworks and outcome-based design
- Knowledge of the environmental, heritage or conservation sectors
- Experience of co-design or participatory approaches
You will also need to be willing to travel across the Thames Basin and to work occasional evenings for workshops or stakeholder sessions.
