Help more young people find a job they can build a future on by supporting the partners who make it possible. As our Supply Chain Manager at The King’s Trust, you’ll work closely with our Jobs Guarantee delivery partners to make sure young people receive the support they need to get into work and stay in work. You’ll build strong relationships with partners, understand the challenges they face and help them deliver on their commitments.

This fully funded role runs until September 2028 and will play an important part in making sure our Jobs Guarantee partners deliver consistently high-quality support for young people across the UK.

You’ll be involved from the start, helping partners get set up and ready to deliver. From there, you’ll review progress, celebrate what’s working and agree practical changes where things need to improve. Some days you’ll be looking at performance data or working through a problem with a partner. Others, you’ll bring colleagues together to share ideas and find a better way forward.

We’re looking for someone with experience managing delivery partners, subcontractors or commissioned services, and improving performance within employment, skills or public sector programmes. You’ll enjoy getting to know people and working out how to help them succeed, while being comfortable having honest conversations when expectations aren’t being met. If you’re good at making sense of data, finding practical solutions and following things through, you could bring a lot to this role.

Above all, you’ll care about what good partner delivery means for the young people we support.

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 Supply Chain Managers!
