Place Based Programmes Manager

Reports to:   Head of Place Based Impact & Partnerships,

Youth Endowment Fund

Salary: £40,000

Location: Central London

About the Youth Endowment Fund

The Youth Endowment Fund is a bold new attempt to put early intervention at the heart of efforts to tackle youth offending.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in violent crime. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. For children and young people, there have been particularly large increases in those who are both the perpetrators and victims of offences involving knives. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in violence. Many organisations have this calling. Our unique role is to identify what works best and build a movement to put it into practice.  A critical part of our work is our place-based activity. We know that violence is not evenly distributed across England and Wales. Children in certain neighbourhoods are particularly vulnerable to becoming involved in violence. We want to change that. How? We want to find out the best ways to involve local residents in making change happen. We also want to find the best ways that organisations like schools, the police and social care can work better together. We believe if we can get this right, we can make a lasting difference to children’s lives. Your role is pivotal to this.

Key Responsibilities

As a key member of the Team your job is to work with the Head of Place-Based Impact & Partnerships to build and manage the systems, processes and partnerships that will make this work a real success. To do this you will:
 

• Assist in developing the best processes and systems to manage our place-based grant giving, monitoring and evaluation.
• Create reports, analyse data and prepare dashboards and other reporting tools to ensure our place-based work is performing to consistently high standards.
• Manage place-based risk registers to ensure robust risk management and mitigation.
• Build strong relationships with our place-based grantees and provide ongoing management and support through the life of their YEF funding. You will also have responsibility for monitoring the performance of grantees and ensuring targets are met.

• Help with assessing funding applications and think strategically about how we organise our funding rounds to achieve our goals. You will help to design our place-based grant application processes and applications and help manage our engagement with potential applicants.
• Work closely with grantees, external evaluators and our own Evaluation Officers to support programmes that maximise our learning and ensure the organisations we fund are using and creating evidence on what works best and are learning from each other.
• Represent the Youth Endowment Fund at external events.

• Regularly review and improve processes to increase efficiency and impact.

About You

You are this sort of person:

• You don't want your days to pass without making a difference. You want to play a significant part in a charity that is making a difference.
• You want to work in a job that makes young people safer. This issue matters to you. You don’t need extensive experience in grant making, you just have to be committed to learning it, but you do have to understand the sectors we work with, the challenges facing young people and what organisations face when implementing delivery programmes.
• You have incredible judgement. You are able to reach sound and considered judgements about the viability and suitability of applicants based upon our given criteria, often using detailed written and financial information, and are able to deliver constructive feedback to organisations. You can also identify when things aren’t going to plan and be proactive with sharing observations and recommendations.
• You are an optimiser. You look for solutions and think creatively to overcome challenges. You are curious, hungry to learn and always looking for ways to improve our work to have the greatest impact on young people’s lives.
• You love well-designed systems. You are committed to designing and maintaining the best processes to make sure we manage our funding rounds well. You know this is critical to effectively managing multiple, large-scale funding programmes and competing priorities.
• You win people over. People tend to warm to you and respect you. You have built good relationships with people at every level inside and outside the organisation and have managed large networks of stakeholders with different interests and priorities. You are excellent at customer service and can professionally handle issues that come up within your grant portfolio.
• You work very well in a team. You are not motivated by being the individual winner. You want the team as a whole to succeed. You don’t care who gets the credit as long as things get done.
• You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, backgrounds and values.
   

While it is not a criteria, we are especially interested to hear from applicants who have lived experience of youth violence.

It is also important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.

This position will require a DBS check to be performed, but a record is not a block to performing this role.

To apply

To apply, please send a CV, cover letter and the monitoring form through our application page by 5pm, 13th May 2021.

You will be required to provide proof of your eligibility to work in the UK. As part of our commitment to flexible working we will consider a range of options for the successful applicant. All options can be discussed at the interview stage.

Interviews will take place in the week commencing 24th May 2021.

Your personal data will be shared for the purposes of the recruitment exercise. This includes our HR team, interviewers (who may include other partners in the project and independent advisors), relevant team managers and our IT service provider if access to the data is necessary for performance of their roles.
