You will be integral to the England leadership team and have responsibility for a team of managers and youth development leads working across the Manchester area supporting young people through our direct delivery to young people and with specialist delivery partners. Your work will ensure our footprint mirrors the communities in which we work and the young people we support.

This role is perfect for you if you have a strong track record in operational management (ideally 5 years plus) together with the experience of leading a large staff team with knowledge of foundational employability and enterprise and if you are seeking a role where you can shape, influence, and implement, ensuring excellent standards of delivery. Regular attendance at our King’s Trust centre in Manchester will be required.

We are looking for a passionate and driven colleague, who is able to work collaboratively across the Trust and champion the work of the Manchester team both internally and externally.

We are recruiting a part-time (16 hours per week) Data Management Officer to join our supportive team who are committed to making life better for Manchester’s unpaid carers. This post is an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about data, who enjoys working as part of a team and wants to use their skills within a small charity.

We are looking for someone experienced in data management, who can organise, maintain and develop our information systems, and produce reports for different audiences.  You might also have some experience supporting reporting and evaluation for a community or charitable organisation, but this is not essential. What is essential, are strong skills in Microsoft Excel!

This is a remote working role and can be worked flexibly, with a limited number of fixed online meeting dates during the month. There may be very occasional in person meetings in Manchester, primarily central Manchester. Your office/admin base would be your home address.

We offer training opportunities, flexible working and a generous leave entitlement. 

This is a permanent position.

The deadline for applications is Tuesday 4th February 2025 at 9am. Interviews will take place on Wednesday 12th February 2025. We will contact successful applicants by email.

We are unable to accept CVs.

We welcome applications from everyone irrespective of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, faith and religion, disability and age. Appointment will be made on merit alone.

If you are disabled we will support you throughout the recruitment process with reasonable adjustments required.
