Pay: £38,571.00-£40,678.00 per year

Job Description: Project Manager YWCA Yorkshire Fixed-term (Maternity Cover)

Salary £38,571 – £40,678

Treo Recruitment is proud to be working in partnership with YWCA Yorkshire, an organisation with a long-standing commitment to supporting women, young people, and communities through inclusive, compassionate, and expert services.

This Project Manager role is a key leadership position within a values-driven charity, offering the opportunity to step into an established service and make a meaningful impact during a period of transition. You’ll be joining a team that genuinely believes in support, engagement, mentorship, and shared learning, where people are trusted, developed, and encouraged to bring their whole selves to work.

About the Role

As Project Manager, you will play a central role in ensuring the safe, effective, and high-quality delivery of supported housing and related services. This includes overseeing day-to-day operations, supporting staff, managing projects and resources, and maintaining strong relationships with partner agencies, commissioners, and stakeholders.

You’ll work closely with frontline teams, offering guidance and reassurance, while also maintaining a clear focus on compliance, safeguarding, health & safety, and service improvement. This is a role for someone who is confident navigating complexity, but who leads with empathy, clarity, and professionalism.

What We’re Looking For

This role would suit someone with experience in social care, supported housing, or the charity/NGO sector, who understands both the human and regulatory sides of service delivery.

You’ll likely bring:

• A degree-level qualification or equivalent (DipSW, CSS, CQSW or similar), with CIH Level 4 desirable
• Strong knowledge of safeguarding, risk management, health & safety, and regulatory compliance
• Proven project management experience, including planning, delivery, monitoring, and reporting
• The ability to manage resources, budgets, and multi-agency relationships effectively
• Confident communication and leadership skills, with a collaborative and supportive approach
• Flexibility and adaptability, particularly when stepping into an existing service or covering transitional periods

Just as important as qualifications is your values alignment, a commitment to inclusive practice, compassion in leadership, and expertise grounded in real-world experience.

Culture & Values

YWCA Yorkshire is proud to foster a culture where:

• People are supported, not micromanaged
• Learning and mentorship are actively encouraged
• Inclusion and compassion sit alongside professionalism and accountability
• Staff wellbeing, engagement, and development truly matter

You won’t be expected to have all the answers, but you will be supported to find them.

Why Apply?

While fixed-term roles can feel daunting, this position offers:

• The chance to work with a respected, mission-led organisation
• Meaningful leadership responsibility within a supportive framework
• Exposure to high-impact work in housing and social care
• A collaborative environment where your expertise is valued and trusted
