Jobs Guarantee is focused on helping young people move into work and, importantly, stay there. As our Delivery and Performance Manager, you’ll lead a team of Youth Development Leads who work directly with young people, helping them build their employability, access the right opportunities and secure sustainable employment. Your leadership will have a direct impact on how many young people progress into work and achieve lasting employment outcomes.

This is a hands-on delivery and performance role. You’ll be responsible for making sure your team has what it needs to deliver, while keeping a close eye on caseloads, job starts, sustainment and contractual targets. You’ll use performance data to spot where things are working, where they aren’t and act quickly to improve results, while making sure delivery remains high quality, compliant and centred around the needs of young people.

We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running in a target-driven employment environment. You’ll bring experience of managing teams delivering employability, employment or similar caseload-based services, ideally within a publicly funded or contracted programme. You’ll be confident using data and MI to drive performance, coaching people to improve and stepping in when delivery is off track. Just as importantly, you’ll understand the barriers young people can face getting into work and be able to balance strong performance with genuinely high-quality support.

We believe all young people should have the chance to succeed, and that young people are the key to a positive and prosperous future for all of us.
