youth project manager jobs

Active Partners Trust

In Nottingham City, local people are telling us that there is a need for physical activity opportunities that are local, accessible, good-quality, and designed for children, young people, and families. People want to feel confident to move in ways that fit their lives, and the Place Partnership work in Nottingham is working to change the systems that prevent this from happening.

Creating this change requires influencing policymaking, collaborative working across organisations, and street-level, house-by-house community engagement.

Working as part of a small team dedicated to the successful implementation of the Place Partnership in Nottingham City, the Programme Lead role sits within the team responsible for the programme’s project management, under the guidance of the overall lead for the Nottingham Place Partnership work.

The two key elements of the Programme Lead role will be programme delivery (planning, coordinating and reporting on an already agreed programme of work, managing budgets, procurement, risk and evaluation), and partnership and influence (building trusted relationships across a wide range of partners so that information flows freely, learning is shared and used, and local authority and statutory services work collaboratively with wider partners).

Our Application Process

Once you’ve digested the Job Description you will be asked 4 questions that form your application alongside your CV – this is what you’ll be assessed on. We encourage you to make the most of these questions and make your answers personal to you rather than defaulting to AI. Your CV will be looked at alongside your application questions, please note any personal details will be removed to help keep candidates anonymous.

We only see this data at the end of hiring cycles in anonymised reports generated by the Applied platform. We assess candidates blindly and anonymously; diversity data submitted with applications is not available for us to view. Answers to questions requesting diversity information do not impact our shortlisting processes.

We encourage people to join our organisation from all walks of life, you don’t need experience in the sport and physical activity sector to work for us.
