Project Manager – From Struggle to Stability: Creating fair work for young mothers

Close the Gap is operating a hybrid working model, with the option to work from the Buchanan Street office or from desk space in Edinburgh.

The successful candidate will be required to undergo a Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) check. Employment will be subject to satisfactory PVG scheme membership or an update to an existing membership in line with legal and organisational requirements.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a partnership project to improve job quality for young mothers. Young mothers are among the most marginalised in the labour market, experiencing high levels of in-work poverty. Young mothers’ poverty drives child poverty, the gender pay gap, and gender inequality more broadly. The Close the Gap and Save the Children project will gather evidence on young mothers’ workplace experiences and employer attitudes to them as workers, and use this to influence employment practice and policymaking to deliver improved access to fair work. Working with a project advisory group and a lived experience group of young mothers, the project will also develop a campaign for young mothers to raise awareness of their employment rights, with the ultimate goal of reducing in-work poverty in Scotland.

We work strategically with policymakers, employers and unions to address the causes of the gender pay gap. We deliver advocacy to influence policy and legislative change; produce research, analysis and insight into women’s diverse experiences of the labour market; and influence employers to develop intersectional, gender-sensitive employment practice.
