CLOSING DATE: Monday 30th September, 9am.
Purpose of post
In 2022, IMO decided to develop deep and focused youth employment programming
to address the significant need in our community. To deliver this, we are partnering
with Impetus. The new programme supports young people from South Asian
backgrounds to bolster their opportunities for sustained education, employment and
training (EET) by providing 1:1 mentoring, family engagement and practical experience.
We are excited to recruit a leader for this programme, to develop it beyond the initial
pilot phase into a long-term, sustainable provision, build and manage local
partnerships, work with others to develop a long-term funding model, and ultimately
to support young people in securing and sustaining employment.
This is an exciting and new type of work for IMO Charity, and we are looking for
someone to take it forward. It is a strategic priority, sits on the Senior Management
Team, and will report directly to the CEO.
What we are looking for
We are looking for an experienced, inspiring leader who can utilise our assets with the
local community, working with the existing team and local partners to take our exciting
new employment programme for disadvantaged young people in Blackburn with
Darwen into its next phase of development and generate meaningful long-term
outcomes.
Successful candidates will bring extensive front-line experience with a similar target
demographic; strong management, planning and communication skills and will offer a
high level of initiative and a common-sense approach to working.
At IMO Charity we take pride in creating an environment where each and every
employee has the potential for personal growth and where their impact is valued.
