Programme Manager Jobs in Camden

PHF has a long-standing interest in Arts Education. We currently have two Funds focusing on this area; our Arts-based Learning Fund and the Teacher Development Fund. As a Grants Manger - Arts Education, you will be particularly focused on these two Funds.

We believe that arts-based approaches can build equity in classrooms and support children and young people, particularly those experiencing disadvantage, to overcome barriers to learning. We know that the arts play an important role in supporting young people to thrive in education. The arts can enrich learning experiences, increasing young people’s engagement in school and learning and supporting key educational outcomes. The arts can also unlock potential by helping young people to develop skills in critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and problem-solving. In addition, engaging with the arts supports young people’s communication, empathy and emotional wellbeing.

Through our Arts’ Education funding we support arts/cultural organisations and education settings to work in partnership to explore how the arts can enrich the lives of children and young people and develop the professional practice of teachers.

In addition to our grant-making the Arts Education team supports a range of learning activities for grant-holders. This includes a formal Cohort Learning Programme for organisations involved in the Teachers Development Fund and informal online learning and networking events for organisations in the Arts-based Learning Fund portfolio.

We encourage applications from candidates who have experience from both within and outside of the Higher Education sector where they can demonstrate the skills needed to succeed in this role

We are looking for an innovative and collaborative Project Manager, who is energised by the possibility of creating systemic change to address the lack of representation of survivors of human trafficking working within the advice sector.

This is a part-time role (21 hours a week). It is an exciting role, offering opportunities for growth and development, through working across a number of different workstreams and with strong partners, designed to deliver significant change for survivors of trafficking. 

We are proposing to offer people with lived experience of trafficking/modern slavery and migration an opportunity to gain substantial paid experience and relevant training in the advice sector, in the form of ‘an apprenticeship’, with the ultimate goal of creating a sustainable route to employment into the sector in the longer term. We also hope that this programme will model a potential new pathway to increase representation of those with lived experience of trafficking and modern slavery  in paid employment within the wider advice sector and the anti-trafficking sector more generally. 

If you are committed to ensuring that those with lived experience of trafficking / modern slavery are able to work within the advice sector, have an interest in/experience of co-production and want to have a significant impact by helping ATLEU to deliver this project we would love to hear from you.
