Somerset Youth Alliance Communications & Events Lead

We’re on a mission to help change lives and build healthy, resilient communities in Somerset.

We do this by supporting and championing voluntary and community organisations and providing a range of services, training and advice. We also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and so we work with local partners to provide volunteering opportunities for all.

Integral to this is the Somerset Youth Alliance, which is facilitated by Spark Somerset. The Alliance is a group of organisations who work together for the benefit of young people in Somerset. We organise youth work training, bring members together to share successes and find solutions, support organisations to be safe and are champions of youth work in Somerset.

Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund, we are able to recruit a Communications and Events Lead who will support the Alliance to develop and implement branding and communications strategies, as well as coordinate and support Alliance events. Bringing youth organisations together and keeping them informed is a key priority for the project and will contribute to the developmental and collaborative culture of the Alliance.

This is a fixed-term role, working 37.5 hours per week until end of March 2026. The salary is £28,000 per annum (pro rata).
