About the Role

The Program Manager will be responsible for delivering on major strategic and operational projects for inTouch. One such exciting new initiative which the role will be dedicated to is the delivery of new Settlement Engagement and Transition Support (SETS) program.

The program focuses on building independence, self-agency, self-efficacy, and personal well-being.

Beyond the SETS program the role will offer dynamic opportunities to continue to grow and expand the work of inTouch through internal transformation projects as well as projects that arise from successful new and emerging funding opportunities.
