Through these programmes, we focus on supporting young people, often with complex needs, develop confidence and essential skills for the workplace.
Whilst the South London Centre will be the contracted place of work, there will also be the requirement to work from our Islington Delivery Space where the team operate from and deliver programmes to Young People.

The Delivery Manager role is multi-faceted, and we are looking for an individual with a broad skill set. We work with young people from every background, so we re passionate about building a diverse workforce that represents the young people we support. We, therefore, welcome applications from everyone who meets the essential criteria for the role.
What happens next?
Please submit a CV, and Cover Letter that includes your experience, transferrable 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.
Why do we need Delivery Managers?
Last year, we helped more than 40,000 Young People, with three in four young people on our programmes moving into a positive outcome in work, education or training. The young people we help face a range of challenges, such as unemployment, mental health issues or some who have been in trouble with the law. 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. We want to continue having a positive impact on young people s lives and we couldn t do this without the important work of Delivery Managers!
