The Digital Hub is a critical new initiative to strengthen collaboration, knowledge-sharing and access to resources involving many organisations. It aims to be a thriving community of key actors in the child poverty space in London. 

In its first launch phase at the start of 2026, the Hub will primarily target and engage London charities, including The Childhood Trust’s charity partner network.

This one-year role builds on the creation of the Digital Hub in 2025. This role is managing the implementation, testing and optimisation of the Hub in January and February 2026, before launching to an external test user group in March for a period of a month.

This role is critical to establishing the Hub’s purpose and value, and focusing on driving signs ups, engagement and re-engagement.

The role will be to oversee the resolution of any technical or user issues, especially in the first few months of the launch, supporting senior management in measuring and reporting the success of the Hub against set KPIs for the first year, ensuring content remains relevant to the needs of users, and beginning to embed the Hub as a core component of our wider Thrive Together programme of support, partnerships and collaboration.

The Project Manager will report to the Head of Communications and Marketing and work closely with several internal team members, as well as external stakeholders and be the primary contact for the digital agency responsible for developing the Hub. 

Applications close Monday 12th January 2026 at 11pm. 

Interviews will be held in person at The Childhood Trust Offices in Victoria, London late January / early February 2026.
