About this job

Make Space for Girls is seeking a consultant to work as a flexible part time project manager to deliver a youth engagement and public space survey project in Covent Garden, London, taking place between spring 2026 and summer/autumn 2027.

The project focuses on the use of outdoor public space in Covent Garden by the young women who live, study or work there. The project aims to engage with local community groups, youth groups, schools, the local authority, housing associations and others. It will include a series of workshops, organised and co led by the Project Manager together with Make Space for Girls associates, to engage local young women and empower them to consider how Covent Garden's public spaces could be more inclusive and welcoming for young women. Workshops will also equip participants to carry out a public space audit, surveying who is using the outdoor spaces in Covent Garden and who is not. From the data we collect we want to help young women understand what they have found out and what they want to do about it, and report on impact.

Duties

The Project Manager will lead development and delivery of the project, reporting to and supported by the Make Space for Girls Board of Trustees. At intervals, the project may also have the benefit of university student volunteers. The Project Manager will also report to and provide support to an Advisory Panel made up of local stakeholders and chaired by Make Space for Girls.
