About Grow
Grow is a youth development charity working with 16-24 year olds facing significant challenges in Sheffield. Many young people we work with experience mental health difficulties that have resulted in social isolation and a lack of engagement in work or training prospects. Our programmes combine coaching with gardening and nature-based activities to help our trainees combat social isolation, boost their wellbeing and develop employability skills.
The Training Manager at Grow is a pivotal role responsible for the design, delivery, and strategic growth of Grow’s youth employability programmes. The role bridges the gap between programme development and delivery, and ensures every stage of a young person’s Grow journey is meaningful and supports their progression into education, employment or training.

* Develop and manage the Google Workspace systems and administrative processes necessary to run both programmes smoothly.
