JOB DESCRIPTION
Title: National Programmes Manager
Hours: 35 hours per week
Accountable to: Director of Membership
Salary: £37-42k depending on experience
Location: SW1P 3RB United Kingdom
Work Type: Hybrid (2 office days)
Overview
Mothers’ Union (MU) was established in 1876. It is a worldwide women-led movement with over four million members in 83 countries. Some 40,000 of our members live in Britain and Ireland and put their Christian faith into action in communities’ by delivering projects and programmes that bring hope and build resilience.
Mothers’ Union is unique. We do not work alongside communities; our members and volunteers work inside communities. From small initiatives to national programmes our aims are to stop poverty, violence, and injustice by supporting the vulnerable and to strengthen family life by nurturing relationships that are loving, faithful and respectful.
Each member subscribes to the same values; the moral and ethical codes that are central to the ways in which we operate:
- We are firmly rooted in a voluntary ethos centred on mutual respect and collaboration.
- Our governance, leadership, and programmes are driven by and undertaken by members within their own communities worldwide; and
- We work with and welcome to the movement, people of all faiths and none.
Our Britian and Ireland members may be part of a branch or a parish membership, which sits within a Diocese, which reports to a Province. These Provinces and Dioceses follow the Anglican Church structure.
We are a diverse and inclusive movement who form groups, become friends and supporters outside of the church structure, together with a host of active volunteers all championing the work we do.
Job Purpose
The role of the central charity is to facilitate member support and the successful operation of the charity, lead strategic projects that work to ensure the longevity and sustainability of the global movement and to support the delivery of impactful work in communities that meet our aims.

The post holder will work directly with members and across the charity leading campaigns and programmes that help and support the communities in which we serve, drive membership growth, increase valued engagement and income opportunities, promote Mothers’ Union within the Anglican Church, and build effective relationships with external partners and organisations.
This role will lead the implementation of a suite of existing and new Britain and Ireland programmes which include domestic abuse, social justice, and family issues. Also, to look at new programmes and to manage continual programme reviews. These Mothers’ Union National Programmes are being adopted as best practice frameworks for successful community outreach projects by members in the communities in which we serve. It is envisioned that in resourcing and standardising existing work, these robust programmes will serve as vehicles for volunteer and member recruitment in dioceses in Britain and Ireland and be able to secure strategic partners and external funders to support our work.

Manage and deliver our place based programmes for young people.
Since 2022, we’ve been growing our place-based programmes in key regions across the country - communities full of potential, creativity and ambition, but where young people can face barriers to accessing the same networks and opportunities as their peers.
Our new strategy, Ambition 2030, puts these local programmes at the heart of helping young people build the future they choose. With almost one million young people currently not in education, employment or training (NEET), the need to create meaningful pathways into work and learning has never been greater.
Through our place-based projects, backed and funded by industry leaders, we are focusing on the young people who are most at risk of missing out on the benefits of school.
We believe earlier intervention is key to solving the NEET crisis. This means delivering opportunities to practise and apply skills in real-world contexts. Providing meaningful encounters with a wide range of industries and professionals. And meeting young people where they are to build their confidence.
We’re seeking a project manager to lead this work with our trusted industry partners, working in collaboration with employers, local and combined authorities, schools and charities. We are currently delivering Ignite projects in Blackpool, East Riding of Yorkshire, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Northampton, Rochdale and London, and may take on additional projects in new locations.
Key responsibilities
- Lead our Ignite place-based programmes, managing workshops, employer engagement, and volunteer coordination, while ensuring local partners stay central to design and delivery.
- Oversee programme delivery, stakeholder relationships, coordination and logistics
- Through targeted interventions ensure the right workshops and people are in place to support young people to raise their aspirations, develop their skills and bridge the gap between education and employment
This role is a hybrid of strategic and operational work.
Please note, these projects follow The Talent Foundry delivery model of being facilitator-led and supported by industry volunteers. As the project lead you will not be facilitating or teaching workshops, or providing 121 support to students.
To read the full job information pack please download the attachment. Please read this before completing your application as it contains some helpful advice of what we are looking for. For safer recruitment purposes - please ensure your CV includes the month and date of your previous employment and includes information about any employment gaps.
Safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing and welfare of children and we require everyone associated with The Talent Foundry Trust, including all trustees, employees, and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will need to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the role, including completing our Safer Recruitment process, references from past employers and Disclosure and Barring Service checks.
A comprehensive CV must include:
- your full work history since leaving full time education
- please include a note(s) about any employment gaps between roles
- include start/finish months and years
