Sound like you? Then we’d LOVE to hear from you.
Participation People believe services work better with young people. We’re looking for a new Programme Manager (Targeted and Specialist Programmes) to help us, help services do that.

In return for your hard work, we offer a generous holiday entitlement, a competitive salary, a highly flexible working arrangement and the opportunity to work in a small team of like-minded people.
We would particularly welcome and encourage applications from applicants from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds and from those with disabilities, as we have identified that these groups are currently underrepresented in the organisation, particularly in management roles.
