Ahead Partnership is hiring a Programme Manager to design and deliver programmes connecting young people with opportunities, raise aspirations, and help employers build the future workforce.

Since 2004, Ahead Partnership has partnered with leading employers across the UK to help them maximise their social impact and be a force for good in their communities. We do this by co-creating flagship careers and skills programmes with employers that help young people to find a successful future in key sectors of the economy. We are passionate about the role that employers can play in enabling young people to achieve their full potential, regardless of background. Our work focuses on improving social mobility, removing barriers and supporting greater diversity and inclusivity within the future workplace. We lead the way in developing professional, tailored programmes of careers and skills engagement with employers that open up opportunities to young people across key sectors. Our programmes not only support young people by developing their understanding of careers and building confidence and skills, they also help employers to tackle skills shortages by strengthening the talent pipeline - a win/win outcome for everyone involved. We take a design-led approach to all our work and develop tailored programmes and solutions that really work both for our employer partners and the young people that take part. We are a values-led consultancy without shareholders or investors and reinvest all our surpluses in furthering our social impact.
