We’re looking for a dynamic Delivery Manager to drive our partnership development work across Leeds and Newcastle! This is an exciting opportunity to lead a team of passionate Youth Development Leads, building and nurturing partnerships that directly benefit young people and help scale our impact in two of our key regions. You’ll work closely with employers, training providers, and community organisations to co-create local solutions and open up meaningful education, training, and employment pathways.

 

This role sits at the heart of our delivery model, blending operational leadership with strategic relationship building. You’ll be managing performance, ensuring compliance, spotting new opportunities, and helping to shape place-based delivery plans that are grounded in what young people need right now.

 

The successful candidate will need to travel regularly between Leeds and Newcastle to support their team and develop relationships with local partners, so flexibility and a love for collaboration are key! If you’re ready to step into a role that combines people leadership, partnership growth, and a clear focus on outcomes for young people, we’d love to hear from you.

 

What happens next?  

Please submit a CV, and Cover Letter that includes your experience, transferrable skills and motivation to work for The King's Trust! The Team will be in touch about the next steps shortly after the closing date.
