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 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.

About us

For homeless people, or those at risk of homelessness, finding employment and housing opportunities can feel like an uphill battle, even more so if they’re affected by physical, mental health or substance misuse issues. Providence Row works with those affected by homelessness and those vulnerably housed in London, offering an integrated service of crisis support, advice and progression programmes. We ensure that people often excluded from mainstream services gain the support and opportunities they need to create a safe, healthy and sustainable life away from the streets.

We’re looking for an experienced Facilities Manager to be our named competent person for statutory compliance; covering health & safety, fire, water hygiene, electrical safety and environmental standards.

You’ll work with a high degree of autonomy, escalating issues and key strategic budget decisions as required.

What you’ll do

• Own compliance and risk management, maintaining live risk assessments and closing remedial actions within required timescales.
• Schedule and evidence statutory checks and liaise with approved contractors and maintain accurate records.

• Lead facilities projects as required - typically small to medium in scale.

• Act as first responder to facilities incidents during working hours.
