Project Manager £33,000 per year (pro rata where applicable) Part-time or full-time Fixed-term contract for one year Based in the Midlands as a home working role Our client empowers people with the skills they need to succeed in life. Together, they're helping people change their stories. You could join them to deliver their early years programmes across the East and West Midlands. What you'll be doing Supporting literacy in the early years is one of our client's key strategic priorities, ensuring every child starts school with language and communication skills ready to grow and learn at school. The organisation is recruiting for two new roles to deliver their early years programmes across the East and West Midlands - one full-time (35 hours per week) and one part-time (17.5 hours per week, 0.5 FTE), although they will consider other combinations of flexible hours to ensure the same capacity in the team. You will be responsible for delivering their early years programmes, which support children aged 0-5, their families and the early years practitioners and other professionals involved with their development. You will manage a variety of early years projects, which will involve training and supporting local practitioners across a range of settings, working with partners and volunteers to deliver events and activities directly to children and families, and ensuring our client's work meets key milestones and targets. Working with Early Years Programme Managers, you will support the ongoing development and expansion of this work.

Our client helps people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words - reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days to training, jobs and beyond. - They work collaboratively in local communities, focusing their work in areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges. - They support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children. - They campaign to make reading and writing a priority for politicians and decision-makers. - They support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders' institutions to build their skills. What our client offers you Our client's team are passionate about their mission, and have a strong and positive working culture, based on shared values and respect.
