We have a unique opportunity for a Project Manager with experience of developing heritage activity plans to lead and manage our Kingsley Hall Heritage Project, a once-in-lifetime project made possible with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF).
Thanks to National Lottery players, our new Heritage Project Manager will develop our plans to use heritage as a platform to transform young people’s lives and to develop Kingsley Hall - our charity’s base and Grade 2* listed building – as a welcoming place to support young people who are homeless, leaving care or at risk of homelessness.
This project is an amazing chance to engage young people in every aspect of the project and to develop and submit an outstanding, high-quality Activity Plan and Round 2 application to NLHF.
We want to hear from you if you share our values and have the experience and passion we need to engage young people in heritage and create a safe and welcoming place where young homeless people develop their skills and rebuild their lives. Join us and help make a real difference.

Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, Tuesday 14 February 2023.
Who we are:
We are a leading youth homelessness charity based in the Southwest, working with over 1,500 young people. At 1625ip we are driven by Social Justice and Passion: we strive to do something that matters and take pride in seeing the results of our work in social outcomes and improving young people’s lives.
We are striving to better represent the young people we support and therefore are particularly keen to increase applications from candidates from ethnic minorities as they are currently under-represented in our organisation. We also encourage applications from people with relevant lived experience.
If you need an adjustment to be made to any part of the recruitment process, please let us know as soon as possible.
What you will be doing:
You will be in our Partnerships, Funding and Communications Team and your line manager will be our Partnerships Director.
At 1625ip we are led by our Competency Development Framework. This connects our values to our behaviours in everything we do and gives us the tools to develop. The framework ensures our recruitment is better informed, applications and interviews are behaviourally based, and job profiles are developed on the ‘how’ of a job.
If you have transferrable skills and you are interested in this role, but you are worried about the application process, please get in touch with us. We encourage you to have an informal chat with the recruiting manager to discuss how your personal or professional experience and skills could be transferred to this role. Details of how you can do that are further down in this advert.

Equal opportunities for everyone:
We believe those with a criminal record should have an equal chance to become employees or volunteers and encourage applications.
As an organisation who safeguard and promote the safety and welfare of children, young people and adults at risk, any job offer will depend on a satisfactory DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. We comply fully with the DBS code of practice and undertake to treat all applications for positions fairly. For successful candidates with a criminal record, a risk assessment process will take place with the recruiting manager.
We also pride ourselves on being an equal opportunities employer for everyone regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, religion and beliefs, sex and sexual orientation.
Please see our Policies section on the website, for further information.
