About us: Tender is an arts charity working with children and young people to prevent domestic abuse and sexual violence through creative projects. Since 2003, Tender’s work has grown and diversified from a single workshop programme delivered to schools, into a broader range of programmes reaching both children and young people and professionals with a safeguarding responsibility such as teachers, youth workers, social care workers and foster carers. Tender’s programmes include Healthy Relationships projects delivered across England, projects delivered using online resources and technology, specialist projects for vulnerable children and young people, whole school and whole setting approaches, and training for professionals with safeguarding responsibility and in workplaces.

About the role: While most of Tender’s programmes use a prevention model to work with all young people, a significant proportion of our work is focused on engaging with young people who may be particularly vulnerable to experiences of domestic and sexual violence. This includes children with special educational needs, those identifying as LGBTQ+, those who are asylum seekers or refugees and those who are care experienced or care leavers.  Tender has developed programmes that are specifically focused on working with these groups of young people, sometimes using trauma informed methods, and developing innovative, creative content including digital media and film, as a way to engage and empower young people. The beneficiaries of these programmes will often have multiple and intersecting experiences of trauma and/or marginalisation. We describe this programme of work as our Specialist Provision.

The Specialist Provision team delivers our projects to and for children and young people in alternative, out of school and specialist settings in London, and collaborates with regional teams in the development and delivery of these projects outside London. The Programme Manager is responsible for the management of projects which engage these diverse groups of young people in healthy relationships education. The successful candidate will ideally have an understanding of the impact of trauma and the need for and application of trauma informed approaches which create accessible spaces for young people.

What you will be doing: The main purposes of the Programme Manager role are:

• Managing the delivery of Tender’s specialist provision with groups of children and young people in alternative, out of school and specialist settings in London, and managing the collaboration with regional teams in the development and delivery of such programmes outside London
• Managing all aspects of the development of new arts-based, abuse-prevention programmes, from creating an idea, to testing, piloting and rolling it out, in collaboration with colleagues and partners
• Managing the monitoring, evaluation, and reporting of Tender’s specialist programmes and maintaining a consistent level of quality across all projects
• Managing and maintaining partnerships and relationships with funders, delivery partners, workshop leaders and professionals within the sector
• Managing the budgets of the Specialist Provision department

Essential requirements:

• Level 3 qualification in developing and delivering domestic violence training, or equivalent experience and a willingness to undertake the Level 3 training
• Knowledge of the violence against women and girls sector and current and developing policy and practice in preventing violence against women and girls
• Knowledge of schools, alternative provision, SEND schools and youth settings
• Knowledge of trauma informed approaches to working with children and young people
• Proficiency in office software, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint
• Experience of programme management, monitoring and evaluation in education or arts settings
• Experience of responding to and managing stakeholder expectations, tailoring approach to the needs of the stakeholder and developing new and innovative options
• Experience of building and maintaining successful relationships with diverse range of partners across corporate, public, and third sectors
• Experience in managing a diverse team
• Ability to develop new projects, create resources, and write and talk about Tender and our work with people from different backgrounds

Safer London is a leading charity working with young Londoners and their families affected by violence and exploitation. We believe that all young Londoners can have a positive and productive future.

• Work in a manner which honours our organisational values and is responsive to the trauma and experiences young Londoners, families and communities experience.
• Carry out robust risk assessments and strengths-based needs assessments, ensuring safeguarding is the priority, to ensure the most appropriate intervention is offered and risks are managed and escalated appropriately.
• Maintain essential records accurately ensuring high quality case recording.
• Complete reports (which may be shared with statutory bodies such as the police, courts, children social care and can be shared with the family) that accurately reflect the work undertaken in professional manner.
• Maintain effective communication both written and verbal whether this is virtual, face-to-face.
• Identify spaces and places where Young Londoners feel safe enough to engage in meaningful interventions/activities.
