Programme Manager - Children''s Services
Programme Manager As the UK''s biggest Children''s Charity, Barnardo''s is committed to improving outcomes for all children and young people. We supported 382,872 service users in 2020/21 and for the service users where ethnicity data was collected, 17.8% were Black or Asian. Evidence indicates that many African, Asian and Caribbean communities face particular disadvantages and can experience barriers to accessing vital support services. Children and young people from these communities experience higher levels of social deprivation, school exclusion, unemployment, and contact with the criminal justice system. Maternal and infant outcomes are dramatically worse for Black and Asian women than for White women, and furthermore, the ethnic inequalities in health and wellbeing that existed in the UK before the pandemic have been exacerbated and made more apparent. We need to do something about this. Now established with funding support, including from the People''s Postcode Lottery, Barnardo''s has launched SEEN, a Centre for Children and Young People of African, Asian and Caribbean Heritage. The Centre aims to deepen understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by these communities and drive improvements in outcomes through collaborative, cross-sector working spanning health, social care, education, criminal justice, and the voluntary and community sector, including grassroots organisations. We are now seeking a Programme Manager to provide strategic oversight, guidance,
