Redthread works with vulnerable young people in crisis. Whether they have been the victim of a stabbing, are seeking support for anxiety, have suffered a sexual assault, or want to find a new home beyond the reach of a gang, we support them to overcome the challenges they face through our dynamic youth work programmes. Watch this video (https://vimeo.com/286201435) about Redthread from our win at last year’s Charity Awards which gives a taster of what we do.

We are looking for an experienced programme manager with in-depth knowledge of Birmingham and the surrounding area, proven ability to work with high risk, vulnerable young people, experience of developing a service or programme, strong people management skills and the ability to form effective working relationships with a wide range of partners and agencies.
