  • Once you’ve learned the ropes, you’ll move on to end-to-end management of programme delivery. This includes workshop development, supporting programme recruitment, operations and logistics, and working closely with volunteers and partners to ensure that programme delivery is impactful.
  • You’ll start by supporting existing programmes team members and, over time, take on responsibility for leading on cohorts, while supporting colleagues with delivery across our programmes.
  • You’ll need to be able to combine strong delivery with solid preparation behind the scenes, while thinking carefully about both participant experience and the operational detail needed to deliver high-quality programme activities.

  • You’ll also use tools like email and Slack to keep young people informed, share opportunities and resources, and help build a sense of community throughout their time on the programme.
  • You don’t need previous experience of helping young people navigate the jobs market, as we can support you to build your knowledge and understanding of best practice.

Like any growing charity, our work is constantly evolving and this is a great opportunity to be part of shaping our organisation for the future. We’ll encourage you to share your feedback and suggestions regularly.

What we're looking for

We’re not necessarily looking for one particular professional background, and you don’t need to have a degree. However, we’d be especially interested in candidates who can bring relevant experience or strengths in areas that deepen our team’s existing offer, such as community outreach, volunteer management, programme management, or monitoring and evaluation.

This is not an entry-level role, and we are looking for someone who can bring some professional experience and apply sound judgement in a fast-moving environment.

• Organisation, proactivity and adaptability.
  • We’re looking for someone with strong coordination and organisational skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to work proactively.
  • You’ll need to be comfortable managing multiple priorities at once, adapting as things change, and delivering to a high standard in a fast-paced environment.
• Problem solving.
  • We’re looking for someone who can think creatively, solve problems, and respond positively when things don’t go to plan.
• Communication and facilitation.
  • You’ll communicate with everyone from young people to corporate partners, so you’ll need strong written and verbal communication skills. As this role will involve providing feedback on CVs, job applications, and cover letters, strong written English and attention to detail are important.
  • You should be comfortable facilitating sessions or feel motivated to build your confidence in this area.
• Relationship building.
  • We’re looking for someone who is comfortable building relationships with a wide range of people (including partners and volunteers) and representing the organisation in a warm and professional way.
  • We’d particularly value someone who can bring confidence or experience in external relationship-building and community outreach.
  • Many of the young people we work with have experienced substantial barriers to work, education, or other areas of their lives. We’re looking for someone who can build trusting relationships with young people and who approaches others with empathy, warmth, and good judgement.
• Resilience and a growth mindset.
  • Adaptability and perseverance are crucial to the success of the young people on our programme, and it’s important that our team models these behaviours too.
  • We need someone who can operate well in uncertainty, learn as they go, and stay motivated through challenges.
• Commitment to our mission.
  • You don’t need experience in the early careers, youth, or education sector. However, we do expect the successful candidate to show a clear understanding of and commitment to our mission, and a genuine desire to help drive our work forward.

We work with a diverse group of young people from underserved communities. We particularly encourage applications from minoritised ethnic candidates and those who have lived experience relevant to our programme, particularly non-graduates and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
