About the role

Join The King's Trust as a Delivery Manager and play a pivotal role in transforming lives. You'll oversee the delivery of our NHS employability programmes, that build confidence, skills, and pathways into NHS Careers. We are looking for a passionate and motivated individual who can take a leading role in managing and developing our team. A significant part of this position involves providing strong, supportive leadership to your line reports to ensure our team can deliver high-quality work with young people—whether through one-to-one support or structured programme delivery.

We need an exceptional leader to guide our staff, drive our ambitions in Scotland, and ensure the continued success of our NHS programmes and partnerships. This role will involve leading a team of delivery staff working to support young people across Glasgow, Edinburgh & Dundee. We are passionate about flexible working but it’s worth being aware that this role will be based mostly in Glasgow, and you will be required to travel across the patch to support your team.

As part of the Leadership Team, you will be responsible for overseeing the delivery of our NHS programmes, in line with contractual requirements. You will lead the NHS team to develop and implement our delivery plan and ensure we meet targets, ensuring that every young person engaged progresses with an appropriate pathway of learning and development and one-to-one support. You will be a role model for your team, demonstrating best practice in how we work with young people in a safe way to ensure we deliver maximum value for young people and partners.

A background in employment-based programmes and/or knowledge of the NHS in Scotland would be great as well as the ability to build and sustain stakeholder relationships and inspire colleagues. To be successful in the role of Delivery Manager, you will be able to engage in challenges with optimism and resilience and be adaptive and flexible—embracing change and innovation. If you are up for a challenge and working in a great team, we would love to hear from you.

For more information, please submit a CV and Cover Letter that includes your experience, transferable skills and motivation to work for The King's Trust! The Team will be in touch about the next steps shortly after the closing date.
