Crynodeb

We help young people to build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges, follow their own passions and discover talents they never knew they had. Because when you prove yourself that you’re ready for anything nothing can hold you back.
Do you want to be part of that?

This is a 12 month fixed term contract to cover maternity (Oct 2025 - November 2026)

Working within our values and behavioural framework, this role involves closely managing the relationships of our partner organisations (known as Licensed Organisations – LOs) and ensuring LOs within your portfolio offer quality and inclusive DofE programmes to young people.

While managing these relationships across your portfolio area in Greater Manchester, you will also identify and develop new relationships with appropriate educational and community organisations to widen the access of the DofE to young people, particularly those who experience marginalisation.

You will be undertaking regular meetings, in person and virtually, engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders at different levels in partner organisations across your portfolio area. When not out at meetings, you will be working from home.

Whilst you won’t be working directly with young people, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are having a positive impact on their future opportunities.

What we are looking for:
We are looking for a team player who has a passion for the development of young people and who will be enthusiastic, who can engage and influence a variety of stakeholders and who will be an authentic ambassador for the DofE.

You will need to have outstanding communication and interpersonal skills to engage with internal and external stakeholders and have the skills to inspire and influence them to enable young people to participate in DofE.

To undertake the role, you’ll need to be exceptionally organised, have the ability to prioritise your workload, meet deadlines and have excellent administrative skills, being both computer literate and competent in MS Office applications.

We are looking for someone who is flexible in their approach, has a positive outlook and who will actively contribute to our team.

The successful applicant should live within, or very close to, the portfolio area which covers Greater Manchester.
