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. 

We are seeking to appoint an experienced General Manager/CEO to take on a pivotal leadership position, responsible for overseeing the strategic and operational direction of Wrexham Tennis & Padel Centre, ensuring its continued growth, sustainability, and community impact.

The successful candidate will bring substantial senior management experience within a comparable sports, leisure or charity environment, with a proven track record of delivering strategic objectives, managing complex operations, and leading high-performing teams. This is an outstanding opportunity to shape the future of a vibrant and ambitious organisation, committed to providing inclusive access to tennis, padel, and pickleball across all levels of the community.
