Participation and Engagement Manager
This is a new role for Spark Inside and is essential to deliver our new strategy and future goals. The Participation and Engagement Manager role is designed to build trust and strengthen the relationships with the young people in and out of prison, supporting them to engage with our work and express their views safely, in order to embed a culture of listening. The purpose of the role is to ensure we deliver work that is truly co-produced with young people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and helps to create real change.
You will work directly with the young people and will coordinate and embed our In-Prison Advisory Boards, as well as build a group/board of young service users in the community. You will plan and deliver the most effective ways to engage young people so that their views and experiences shape our influencing activity and our organisational development and strategies.
