Purpose of the job
This is a unique opportunity for an outstanding individual to join the UK Youth Fundraising team to fundraise and build partnerships for our brand new Youth First initiative.
Every day, we see the life-changing (and even lifesaving) impact youth workers have for young people across the UK. However, 4,500 youth workers have been lost overall from the frontline in the past 10 years; there is now a gap of 10,000 qualified youth workers; and whilst in the past, 3,000 undergraduates trained to become youth workers each year, less than 300 are now applying each year, meaning this gap will only worsen. We, as a society, urgently need to re-imagine how we attract and train individuals to become youth workers.
Over the past 12 months, we have worked tirelessly to develop Youth First. Based on the revolutionary Teach First, Police Now and Frontline models that have been used to transform recruitment into the education, police and social work sectors respectively, Youth First is a pioneering accelerated leadership development training programme that will transform the pipeline, diversity and calibre of leaders in the youth sector, ensuring the wellbeing of millions of young people across the UK.
We are looking for a talented, passionate individual with experience in business development (including income generation) to accelerate our fundraising for Youth First, with programme launch taking place in 2025. This is a unique opportunity to make a huge difference, securing the funding and partnerships needed to mobilise this vital initiative that will transform the lives of young people across the UK.
