The Role

Challengers searching for a new Youth Project Manager! With 25 play and youth schemes across Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex and Berkshire we require a dedicated number of Project Managers to oversee the running of these schemes.

You will be joining the Challengers Operations Team who manage all the Challengers services in an innovative, exciting and growing voluntary sector organisation. The Project Manager will need to be a driver and enjoy a mix of management and being ‘hands on’. The Youth Project Manager will plan and manage three of our play and youth projects across the South-East. In return you can expect to receive exceptional support, an incredible sense of job satisfaction, a laptop and a phone!

2. Someone who can work with other people effectively including play workers, parents, social workers, head teachers to ensure children are happy and safe at Challengers.
3. Someone who has worked with disabled children and young people.
4. Someone who has set up projects – big or small – and made everyone else want to be part of your project!

The Charity!

Challengers is a charity with an excellent reputation delivering Play and Leisure services to over 1,400 disabled children and young people across the South East.

At the same time, families with disabled children can use these short breaks to pursue ‘ordinary’ activities such as shopping or spending time with their other children.
