Delivery Manager

Are you ready to support a dedicated team of expert practitioners supporting young prison leavers to transform their lives? Switchback supports young Londoners to live life differently after prison with award-winning results. At the heart of the organisation, our Delivery Team has grown quickly over the last four years to ten Switchback Mentors with two Delivery Managers and a Pathways Partnership Manager.

The Delivery Manager role leads on ensuring our team of Switchback Mentors, who work within prisons and the community, have the support, systems and processes in place to deliver the Switchback programme effectively, maximising the impact for Trainees. Caseloads are deliberately small; Mentors work with no more than five Trainees at a time, with an annual Trainee minimum target of 10-12.

The post holder will be responsible for line managing Switchback Mentors, providing support, development, and motivation to ensure the delivery of the Switchback programme to a high standard, in line with the organisation's approach and values. Additionally, they will ensure that the Delivery Team s operational processes are well-developed and effectively implemented.

Working alongside the Head of Delivery, CEO and one other Delivery Manager, you will ensure that the insights from our work with Trainees inform the continued development of our programme and methodology. You will also support the Head of Delivery to implement improvements to our model, including piloting and assessing new approaches and adaptations, so we can continuously strengthen and grow our offer to reach more men in the justice system.
