The Brick is an ambitious charity with big aspirations for people in need within our community. We provide RELIEF, RESTORATION and REFORMATION by offering tailored support, hope, and opportunity to those looking to improve their quality of life. Our core work is in homelessness, and these projects include emergency and supported accommodation, street outreach and homelessness prevention programmes.
In March 2023, we launched England’s first multibank in partnership with Gordon Brown and Amazon. We have since distributed 3million household items, donated to us by businesses, to families in need via a network of over 400 professional partners across Greater Manchester and neighbouring towns. We have huge ambitions to grow this project across the northwest by increasing funding donations and hence capacity.
We are now looking for a Project Development Manager to build on all these specific anti-poverty programmes, capitalise on synergies and develop a long-term financially sustainable operational plan. In joining our team, you will be a believer in the right to equal life chances with a passion to improve lives through collaboration and innovation.
