This includes setting clear expectations, driving performance, and taking decisive action where delivery falls short.

- Lead with clarity, accountability and a focus on measurable outcomes
- Have experience delivering results at scale across multiple locations or partners
- Are confident holding teams and stakeholders to account for performance
- Can prioritise relationships that unlock reach, income and impact

The young people we help face a range of challenges, such as unemployment, mental health issues or some who have been in trouble with the law. We believe all young people should have the chance to succeed and that they are the key to a positive and prosperous future for all of us. We want to continue having a positive impact on young people’s lives, and we couldn’t do this without the important work of our Heads of Delivery!
