Our organisation benefits from a huge range of lived and learned experience and skills, and prides itself on ensuring our people and their experience and skills are at the heart of our organisation’s culture, delivery, and development.
Our organisation has grown substantially over the last five years, to a staff team of around 40 people, growing from being London-based to having staff across England, and the world-wide transition from purely office-based to hybrid working for most staff members.
We have been working hard to incorporate Trauma Informed Care Principles and a person-centred approach into our People function, while also building strong administrative practices, and we are looking for the right person to maintain these practices across the coming year in this maternity cover role. There are several projects that we have outlined as priorities for the coming year, including the streamlining and accessibility of our staff resources and the development of effective induction and onboarding practices and resources.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to develop their HR experience in a truly pioneering organisation, where lived experience and participation are key priorities. We’re looking for someone who has a solid grounding in employment legislation and best practice, which they are able to tailor to the circumstances and the individual they are supporting, while maintaining clear communication and effective People operations.

Camp Jojo is currently in transition. Over the first 8 years it has worked from one established site in Mersea, Essex; but we are now opening a second site near Appleby in Cumbria. The role of Program Manager will work across the whole organisation, towards the successful development of the values and the proven model in a second site; and its partnership with the Essex site will be an important part of the role.
Camp Jojo is growing from a young, largely trustee led, organisation to a staff team led organisation. Again this role will be a fundamental part of that transition. This is a predominantly an operational post, and not responsible for the finances of organisation, though it will deliver operations within the board approved budget. They will also sit on, or chair, several of the Committees of the charity; including the Senior Operations Team.
The role will offer leadership to key functions of Camp Jojo, Camp Jojo staff and contractors, and to members of the Camp Jojo Board, in relation to the work of the charity. Whilst the majority of the work will be remote the incumbent will be required to attend some meetings and events in person, including at both sites. They will also be required to attend at least part of the actual camp events. They may need to work flexibly, according to the seasonal demands of the charity.
The Program Manager will have a varied and sometimes high-pace job environment. As such, they will need to handle multiple tasks, manage their own time well, interact professionally with the Camp Jojo community and be very good communicators. They will deal with model consistency, values, and operational issues across both sites.
Please use your cover letter to provide as much evidence as possible to show how your skills, abilities,
knowledge and experience meet each of the criteria in the role. Please provide examples which are
relevant to this role.
Please note, while we appreciate the value of AI tools, we strongly prefer that applicants prepare their
supporting statements with minimal use of AI. This helps us to better understand your authentic voice,
skills and motivation for this role. Thank you.
