The Youth Endowment Fund
Programme Delivery Manager - Change Team
Reports to: Senior Grants and Commissioning Manager
Salary: £42,000
Location: Central London or Hybrid
Contract: 2-year fixed term – potential to extend
Closing date: 9 am, Tuesday 14th July
Interview dates: 28th and 29th July
About the Youth Endowment Fund
We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. We have also seen large increases in violent crime involving children and young people. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by funding great initiatives, finding what works and working for change - scaling and spreading the practices that make a difference.
One of the most important things we do is turn evidence into action through our change programmes, working directly with schools, local leaders and services to change practice and prevent violence. To deliver these programmes well, we need clear plans, smooth commissioning and procurement processes, accurate data and strong coordination across teams and partners.
The Programme Delivery Manager role is critical to making that happen, and it has two distinct elements:
Programme management for two Change programmes: You’ll be the hands-on programme lead for two of our main change programmes. You’ll work closely with the Change delivery team to put clear, aligned plans in place and then brilliantly manage those plans day to day, making sure everyone knows what’s expected of them and by when.
Commissioning and procurement support for the whole Change team: You’ll also be the go-to source of guidance and advice for Change colleagues who are procuring or commissioning other activity. You’ll help the team navigate processes correctly, ensuring commissioning is captured and maintained accurately in Salesforce and keep our ways of working consistent across the team. By keeping us organised and on track, you’ll help us maximise the impact of every pound we invest.
Key responsibilities
Your role has these two distinct but complementary elements. The first is hands-on programme management for two of our main Change programmes. The second is acting as a source of guidance, advice and practical support on commissioning and procurement for the wider Change team. Together, these responsibilities are essential to keeping our programmes on track and our commissioning processes running smoothly and consistently. A detailed list of your key responsibilities is given below:
1: Hands-on programme management for two Change programmes
-
Lead programme planning and coordination:
-
Work with the delivery team to make sure we have clear, aligned programme plans in place, with timelines, milestones and owners for every workstream.
-
Brilliantly manage those plans day to day, making sure everyone knows what’s expected of them and by when, and that the team stays on track across multiple demanding workstreams.
-
Track dependencies and progress, flag risks to delivery early and coordinate solutions before issues become blockers.
2: Guidance, advice and practical support on commissioning and procurement for the Change team
-
Manage contracts and commissioning for delivery partners
-
Draft, prepare and execute agreements and subsequent variations with delivery partners and commissioned providers, using Adobe e-Sign where required.
-
Accurately input and maintain all programme data in Salesforce, including deliverables, financial commitments, payment schedules and supporting documents.
-
Ensure timely reporting and compliance with contractual requirements.
-
Resolve payment queries and discrepancies quickly, chasing outstanding invoices and reports where needed, and conduct regular data accuracy spot checks in Salesforce.
-
Support process improvements and ways of working
-
Work with the Senior Grants and Commissioning Manager to keep the team’s commissioning and procurement processes consistent with YEF-wide ways of working.
-
Develop and maintain simple, effective tools for planning, tracking and reporting, building on the systems we already use (including Salesforce).
-
Identify and suggest process enhancements to drive efficiency and consistency across our programme and commissioning operations.
-
Enable effective communication and reporting
-
Serve as the central point of contact for programme delivery, commissioning and procurement requests across the team, ensuring streamlined processes and avoiding duplication.
-
Provide timely responses and clear communication to internal teams and external partners to keep everything moving.
-
Keep senior leadership informed with forward plans, dashboards and progress updates to support better strategic decisions.

-
You’re highly organised and detail-oriented: You can manage multiple workstreams, plans and deadlines without losing sight of accuracy. You take pride in keeping programmes, systems and processes running smoothly.
-
You’re confident with systems and data: You’ve worked with CRM, project management or grant management platforms (ideally Salesforce) and understand the importance of data integrity. You’re comfortable creating, updating and checking records to ensure everything is correct.
-
You like getting things done: You’ve got a track record of making things happen and ensuring tasks are completed on time. You’re reliable and take ownership of your responsibilities.
-
You’re proactive and solution-focused: When something doesn’t match up, like a milestone, payment request or contract detail, you don’t just flag it, you work to resolve it quickly and effectively.
-
You’re brilliant at improving and organising things: You enjoy finding ways to make processes better and more efficient. You’re good at understanding how things work and making them work even better.
-
You’re a great communicator: You build strong relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders providing clear guidance and timely responses. People trust you to keep things moving.
-
You thrive in a support role: You like being the person who makes things happen behind the scenes. You’re motivated by helping teams work efficiently and keeping complex programmes on track.
-
You learn fast and adapt easily: You’re comfortable picking up new systems, processes and ways of working. You’re curious and always looking for ways to improve how things are done.
-
You care about impact and inclusion: You want your work to make a difference in the community and are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in everything you do.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead IRMO’s Advice programme. As our Senior Advice Programme Manager, you’ll manage a dedicated team and oversee a range of initiatives that provide high-quality information and advice services to respond to the changing needs of our community.
The Advice programme provides trusted information, resources, advice and casework in Spanish and Portuguese on key areas of need, including immigration, welfare entitlements, housing and homelessness prevention. IRMO is accredited by the Advice Quality Standard (AQS) and the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) at Level 3. We are also members of Advice UK and receive second-tier support from Southwark Law Centre.
Alongside this, the programme works with local health boards to run initiatives designed to improve access to health services, such as HIV testing, sexual health and family planning advice and Chagas disease testing. You will also oversee IRMO’s Community Support service, which manages community enquiries daily at our Brixton centre and through our helpline, provides emergency crisis support and coordinates our Community Interpreting service, as well as connects service users with internal or external support.
These initiatives support people facing difficulties and help them build the skills and confidence to navigate complex systems. All of our work is shaped by the views of our beneficiaries, keeping our services relevant and responsive.
As Senior Advice Programme Manager, you’ll lead the strategic development of the Advice programme, ensuring our work is high-quality, impactful and responsive to the needs of our community. You’ll help grow the programme by strengthening existing partnerships and developing new ones.
To succeed in this role, you’ll bring solid experience as both a project and line manager, with a track record of overseeing multiple initiatives, delivering against KPIs and communicating impact clearly. You’ll be confident in managing people and priorities, with a leadership style that brings out the best in your team.
You’ll also have a strong understanding of the barriers Latin Americans face in accessing immigration, welfare, housing, health and other essential services in the UK, and a genuine passion for advancing the rights and welfare of migrants and refugees.
For more information please find the Job Description on our website.
Led by and for the community, we support the development, agency and participation of all Latin Americans and Spanish and Portuguese-speaking migrants
What if your next role could help people step forward and make a difference when it matters most?
At LIVES, we believe that saving lives starts long before an emergency happens. Through prevention, education and community engagement, we help people develop the skills, confidence and willingness to step forward and help when it matters most.
We're looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Community Prevention and Programmes Manager to lead and develop this important area of our work. This is an exciting opportunity to shape a growing portfolio of community programmes that help create safer, healthier and more resilient communities across Lincolnshire.
Working with volunteers, community groups, partners and funders, you will lead programmes that deliver lifesaving skills training, support community resilience and help prevent illness and injury. You will play a key role in turning ideas into practical action and ensuring our programmes deliver meaningful and measurable impact.
What you'll be doing
You will lead the day-to-day delivery and development of our community education and prevention programmes, including initiatives focused on lifesaving skills, public safety, health improvement and early intervention.
A significant part of the role will involve recruiting, supporting and developing our network of Community Champion volunteers, helping them deliver high-quality community education and engagement activities with confidence and consistency.
You will build strong relationships with schools, workplaces, community groups, local organisations and other partners to expand the reach and impact of our programmes. You'll also lead funded projects, ensuring they are delivered effectively, achieve agreed outcomes and provide clear evidence of impact for funders and stakeholders.
Alongside programme delivery, you will identify opportunities for growth, contribute to funding applications, support the development of new initiatives and help shape the future direction of community prevention work within LIVES.
About you
We're looking for someone who combines excellent organisational and project management skills with a genuine passion for working with communities.
You will have experience of coordinating, delivering or managing community-based projects, programmes or services, along with experience of engaging communities, building partnerships and supporting volunteers. You'll be comfortable managing multiple priorities, monitoring outcomes and demonstrating impact, while maintaining a practical and solutions-focused approach.
You will be an excellent communicator, able to build positive relationships with a wide range of people, and motivated by the opportunity to help communities become safer, healthier and more confident.
Experience within the charity, healthcare, public health, education, emergency response or community development sectors would be advantageous, but we are equally interested in people who can demonstrate transferable skills and a commitment to our mission.
Why join LIVES?
LIVES is a charity dedicated to saving lives in Lincolnshire. Every day, our volunteers, clinicians and staff work together to help people in their moment of need, equip communities with the skills and confidence to act when it matters most, and provide support before, during and after health emergencies.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a growing area of work where you can see the direct impact of your efforts on individuals, communities and the future direction of the charity. If you're passionate about empowering people, developing volunteers and creating programmes that make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
