We're looking to appoint a Programme Coordinator based along the South East Coast to help us expand our work in the region and deliver our programmes for young people.
Key terms
Start date: as soon as possible
Starting salary: £28,121.27 - £29,317.92 depending on experience

Hours: 35 hours per week. Regular evening and weekend work, including residential work, will be required. Time off in lieu (TOIL) can be taken for overtime worked.
Location: Brighton or Eastbourne
Travel: Frequent regional travel - along the South East coast and to London - will be required to deliver our programmes, as well as occasional national travel for meetings, team gatherings and others
About the role
As South East Programme Coordinator, you will be responsible for delivering our core programmes in your region. Through your work, you will inspire and support young people to connect with nature in new and exciting ways and gain new environmental knowledge and skills, and will empower them to have a voice on environmental issues they care about and take action for nature.
You will plan and lead a wide range of sessions for and with young people indoors (including in schools), outdoors and online. You will also support young people to design and deliver environmental action projects that benefit nature and their local communities and create platforms for young people to share their voices and influence decision-making.

You will also formally act as our Blue Mentor for the Blue Influencers Scheme, a match-funded programme for environmental youth social action, funded by The Ernest Cook Trust and the #iwill Fund.
This role sits across programme coordination and administration on one hand and programme delivery on the other. The proportion of each varies throughout the year, with a busy spring and summer season of activities leading into a quieter, desk-based autumn and winter season as we plan and get ready for the year ahead. In total across the year, you can expect to lead or support the delivery of four to six Ambassador events (usually day-long with a 2-day residential graduation), two 5-day residential summer camps, and around 25 (half-day) sessions at secondary schools or youth groups in your regional (plus additional sessions as needed to support your colleagues with their session delivery).
To be successful in the role, you will be highly organised, proactive, self-reliant and a skilled facilitator who can engage and build positive relationships with young people in a range of settings. You will have prior experience of delivering events and activities for and with young people and, ideally, relevant experience of programme coordination and administration.

- Support young people to partner with local community organisations to embed their projects within the community and maximise learning, connection and impact.
- Lay the groundwork for our first coastal Intergenerational Action Site, bringing together young people, conservationists, local stakeholders and community members through our ‘gold standard’ approach to intergenerational nature restoration and decision-making.
Lead on programme coordination and support with safety, evaluation and communications
- Be responsible for the general coordination and manage the logistics to deliver our programmes in your region.
- Manage risk, health and safety and safeguarding during programme activities.
- Ensure Blue Influencer projects meet the Ernest Cook Trust’s and #iwill Fund’s funding criteria and are administered in line with the due diligence guidance.
- Support the evaluation of our programmes and report on outcomes.
- Help us to grow and manage our network of volunteers in your region.
- Share stories of the young people you work with and support young people to directly share their stories through social media, YouTube, blogs, articles, talks and other channels.

Our commitment to diversity
Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. Currently, the environmental sector is the second least diverse in the UK, with just 4.8% of employees from ethnic minority backgrounds. If the environmental movement is to succeed in creating a greener future that supports society as a whole, we need diverse voices at the heart of our programmes. We therefore encourage people from demographics that are currently underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply.
Guaranteed interview scheme
We particularly encourage applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role.

Safety always comes first and we are a safeguarding first Charity, so keeping a watchful eye on safeguarding, health and safety, and data protection is part of the deal! You’ll be the guiding force that empowers our delivery partners and service providers to reach for the stars.

You’ll lead personal development sessions that take our foundation programmes to new heights.

You won’t be sitting behind a screen every day, there will be some travel required to relevant local areas to support the delivery of these exciting programmes as well as programme visits. Your own transport would be benefical.
However, it’s not all fun and games, keeping things on point means meticulously recording info and data about our young superstars, volunteers, or partners. It's all about making sure every step of their journey aligns perfectly with our funding contracts and supporting our Young People into positive progression.
In this role you will be a field worker, with expectations of working from home and other delivery spaces within the Lancashire region. Required resources will be provided including a laptop and phone.
At The Trust, we're strong advocates for fostering an inclusive workplace where everybody feels seen, and it would be fantastic if you share that passion too. Your mission? Making a positive impact by implementing a local action plan that harmonises with our big-picture EDI goals.

East London Students' Union is a progressive charity that supports around 24,000 students that study at the University of East London. We are based in one of the most diverse boroughs in Europe and our membership proudly reflects the communities where we are based.
Our purpose is to support and empower our students by representing their views and providing a range of supportive services, events and activities to make university life the amazing experience it should be. Our Docklands offices were fully refurbished last year. We're currently refurbishing our common rooms and reception area. Earlier this year in Stratford, we launched an excellent new space with sitting around areas, reception, performance rooms and meetings room.
We're now working to build a students' union that champions their aspirations and can deliver what's needed to make a difference. We're excited about this and have invested in several new posts to give us the expertise needed.
If you are excited by the opportunity to help us do things differently, empower others and build a students' union that can better support our students, then we could have a role for you. If you can operate in environments where change is continual, challenges multi-faceted and where solutions require innovative thinking, you'll thrive here. You'll also need to be self-driven, able to operate with autonomy and be able to balance competing priorities.
You’ll provide impartial advice to students on academic matters, and represent and support students in meetings and panels in more complex cases. You’ll use your experience to help us do more preventive work to help our students to take action on their own behalf. You’ll have excellent attention-to-detail and maintain accurate and comprehensive casework notes.
Diversity is one of the defining features of life at UEL, with over 180 nationalities represented in our student body. Within Newham, where we are based, over 74% of residents are from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. As we grow our staff team, we are passionate about making our teams representative of the students we support and the communities we operate in. We therefore especially welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates and other candidates typically underrepresented in leadership.
