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.
Picture yourself alongside our Outreach and Marketing wizards and our customer service champions. Together, we're on a mission to ensure our young people aren't just safe but also revved up and fully immersed in their journey with us here at The Prince’s Trust.
Could you become their personal champion? Imagine peeling back the layers to discover what's holding them back so that you can unlock their potential for astonishing progress. Imagine having your own group of young people to support who will turn to you for that one-on-one support, guidance, and maybe just a nudge in the right direction.
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. Together, we will ensure every young person embarks on a remarkable journey, experiencing the extraordinary and achieving the dreams they've aspired to.
You’ll lead personal development sessions that take our foundation programmes to new heights. You'll deliver in person to Young People aged 16-25, the activities will be outdoors at delivery spaces or activity suppliers. 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.
Be prepared for anything and everything. Alongside all these exciting responsibilities, you might even find yourself wearing different hats and stepping up when needed.
Ready to bring your A-game? Let's make every day count and create a brighter future for our young people of the future!
We believe that every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter their background or the challenges they are facing.
