Programme Manager - 12month contract

We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.  

Deciding which projects, we should fund and evaluate is key, as is making sure we deliver our funding and evaluations to the highest standards. Our Programme Managers are responsible for identifying, assessing, funding and supporting programmes designed to prevent youth violence.   

Our Programme Managers span many areas of expertise. We look for individuals who may have experience in the youth sector, policing, criminal justice, education or how to involve local residents in making decisions about their own neighbourhoods.  

If you have specific expertise in any of our sectors, we want to hear about it in your cover letter. 

As a PM your role will include: 

• Making sure we choose the best organisations to work with by assessing funding applications, critically appraising delivery plans and budgets, getting to know potential grantees and conducting site visits. 

• Working closely with grantees, external evaluators and our own evaluation team to ensure that the activity we are funding will be evaluable. 

• Being conscious of YEF’s race equity funding commitments and ensure we hold both ourselves and our grantees to account in achieving these.
