Groundwork London is a leading social and environmental regeneration charity delivering over 500 projects each year, many of which support young people to achieve their goals, amplify their voices and get involved in volunteering and social action.
In 2020, Groundwork became the largest provider of the National Citizen Service (NCS) in London. NCS exists to engage, unite, and empower young people, building their confidence so they can go out there and achieve their dreams, no matter where they are from or what their background is. From the life skills they develop to the friends they make, NCS Trust’s ambition is clear – They want to give teenagers an opportunity to unleash their potential, to build their self-belief and get them prepped for life after school.

The role oversees all matters relating to Health, Safety and Safeguarding for Programmes and is responsible for efficiently responding to critical incidents and emergencies. The role provides a vital focus on customer experience and ensures young people gain a productive, safe, and exceptional educational and developmental experience whilst they are engaged on NCS programmes. The role is responsible for the oversight, direction, and the success of their Delivery Team and also for their wider ‘Team NCS’ responsibilities.
