Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future.

• Manage communication with children involved in projects, including handling inboxes, obtaining consent, and gathering feedback to improve participation. 

About you 

To be successful, it is important that you have: 

• Experience working with diverse groups of young people in a professional or voluntary role, engaging them in campaigning, fundraising, programs, governance, or education to drive change. Ideally you will have direct experience of working with young people from refugee and diaspora communities. 

• Proven ability to develop and design projects, campaigns, and activities specifically for children and young people. 

• Strong facilitation skills, with knowledge of inclusive techniques to ensure meaningful participation, particularly when discussing difficult or emotionally sensitive subjects. 

• Understanding of youth participation best practices and safeguarding requirements. 

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, and an ability to tailor written and verbal communications to a wide range of different audiences, particularly young people

• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values. 

What we offer you: 

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here. 

Today, 12 children and young people will be diagnosed with cancer. We’ll stop at nothing to make sure they get the right care and support at the right time.

Change lives in a life-changing career

When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.

The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer. We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise wellbeing. And we stop at nothing to make sure they get the right care and support at the right time.

We challenge the systems and policies that surround children and young people, we highlight gaps and campaign for change. Because we know what a better future could look like. And we know what we need to do to make that future a reality. We need to push harder, reach further and work smarter. And we need the right people on our team to help us get there. People like you.
