PROJECT MANAGER (OUTREACH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT) X 2
About the role
We are recruiting two Project Managers (Outreach Community Engagement) to join our C-Change in Action programme — one role based in Hounslow and one based in Hillingdon, with regular cross-borough working to support collaboration, shared learning, and joint activities.
These are 3-year funded roles, supported by The National Lottery Community Fund – Reaching Communities Programme, and play a vital role in helping residents and young people feel connected, supported, and empowered within their local communities. Working at a grassroots level, you will co-design and deliver inclusive community and youth-focused activities, with a strong emphasis on supporting young people aged 15–25, including young people who are NEET (not in education, employment or training), as well as those facing social, educational, or mental health barriers.
The role involves leading multiple projects, managing staff and freelancers, and delivering work that often takes place during evenings and weekends, alongside close partnership working across both boroughs
Who are you
We’re looking for two passionate, people-centred community practitioners with experience engaging diverse communities and supporting young people—particularly those facing disadvantage or exclusion. You’ll have experience delivering community or youth projects, building trusted relationships, and working collaboratively with residents, schools, voluntary organisations, and local partners.
You’ll bring strong communication, organisation, and facilitation skills, alongside empathy, initiative, and a genuine commitment to youth empowerment, inclusion, and co-production. Experience supervising staff or volunteers, working flexibly (including weekends), and an understanding of community development and safeguarding are essential to succeeding in this role.
