Role Responsibility

The role is open to a fixed term contract or a secondment opportunity for internal candidates only, until the 31st March 2025.

Kent County Council have an exciting opportunity for a skilled Project Manager to coordinate and drive the work streams that support the implementation of Kent’s Family Hub Programme (full-time and hybrid working). The Family Hub Programme is a three-year programme of change, developing and embedding the Department for Education Family Hub model in Kent.

The programme is now in Year 3 of delivery and the Project Manager will play a critical role in working with the Children, Young People and Education (CYPE) directorate and the Programme Manager to support the co-design, coordination and service delivery of the national Family Hub model. Year 3 of the programme will consolidate the work delivered in Years 1 and 2 and ensure that new approaches, training and resources are embedded in practice to deliver the desired outcomes for Kent families.

The postholder will work collaboratively with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to identify opportunities to improve services for whole families and give children the Best Start to Life. The postholder will support the integration of services and partners to ensure an holistic approach to the delivery of Family Hubs.

We are looking for a Project Officer who is highly motivated, organised and keen to develop their skillset in supporting the delivery of an important strategic priority for Kent County Council. Applicants will have experience of supporting project development and delivery, including maintaining project documentation and facilitating key project stakeholders.
