Grade: NJC Point 31 – £43,149 per annum
Hours: 37.5 hours per week (excluding breaks), Monday to Friday within our core hours 8am to 6pm, with some evening and weekend work
Contract: 12 months fixed term with the opportunity to become permanent

The Programme Manager (Children, Young People and Families) will lead a broad and varied portfolio of Salford CVS’s community-facing programmes for children, young people and families. At the heart of the post are two main strands: Wellbeing Matters social prescribing for children, young people and families, delivered as part of Salford CVS’ Live Well programme, and our Family Hubs work. The portfolio also covers events and activities for seldom heard children and young people, and our Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) programme, all contributing to Salford’s wider work on Early Help, Best Start in Life, the Thrive partnership, Child Friendly Salford and Youth Futures. This is a genuinely varied role, and the work supports and encourages local children, young people and families to be active, connected and well.

You will manage the operational and partnership development and delivery of these programmes and line manage relevant staff, ensuring services are delivered on time, on budget and to a high standard, with quality assurance, performance monitoring and evaluation embedded throughout.

You will take the lead on children’s safeguarding across the portfolio, ensure all activity remains fully compliant with relevant regulations and good practice, and will support and encourage collaboration between Salford CVS staff and partner organisations.
