At The King's Trust, we believe every young person should have the chance to succeed. We're recruiting for this critical leadership role at a time when our work is more important than ever, supporting young people to build the skills, confidence and opportunities they need to move forward. As Head of Delivery for the West Midlands, you will lead teams and partners across a complex region to deliver measurable outcomes for young people.

This includes setting clear expectations, driving performance, and taking decisive action where delivery falls short. You will also lead relationships across the public, private and voluntary sectors, ensuring high standards of safeguarding, quality and inclusion. This role suits an experienced senior leader who is comfortable with complexity, driven by outcomes, and able to balance long‑term thinking with strong operational delivery.
