With management responsibility for up to 8 part-time staff, this is a crucial role within our small but growing organisation, combining team leadership with hands-on support for session delivery, including helping with the washing up if that’s what is needed!

We work with families who face a range of significant challenges, including low income, trauma, and inadequate housing. An important aspect of this job is working closely with the delivery team to understand and respond to individual and group needs.

The Kitchen Club Programme Manager will play a key role in continuing to drive improvement. We’re looking for someone who is ambitious about what can be achieved within our existing frameworks, but who is also able to contribute new ideas to enhance reach and impact, working closely with the Chief Executive to take our work to the next level.

Whoever joins our small but committed team will have the opportunity to make a vital difference for families who face significant and complex challenges.
