We’re looking for a person who has the knowledge and experience to make a difference, and with a real commitment to their own continued development.

As the Young People Programme Support Officer you’ll bring enthusiasm and experience of providing administrative support in the production, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of organisational activities.

Organisational skills will be important and an ability to manage multiple tasks while still meeting deadlines.

Learning and development is a key focus for the organisation and there is a lot of opportunity to make your mark in this diverse role.

In return alongside the salary and pension scheme, we offer a friendly home/office working environment and generous holiday allowance including office closure between Christmas and New Year.
