Youth Opportunities Coordinator

Who are we?

Dallaglio RugbyWorks is a charity that works with young people aged between 11-18 who are experiencing school exclusion to help support them in realising their full potential for the future.

Our mission is to work with young people who have been excluded from school & ensure that long-term they are not excluded from society.

What’s the job?

This role is about creating opportunities for excluded young people to access employment. You will be part of a national team of Opportunities Coordinators, but your role will focus on supporting the London region to deliver the employability elements of our intervention. 

You will play a crucial role in the implementation of the employment readiness element of our intervention, which involves organising Career Taster Days (CTD), supporting employability workshops with young people & identifying training, work experience, apprenticeships, & employment opportunities.

This role requires someone who can build & develop relationships with corporate partners & generate meaningful employment (or training) opportunities for young people. This will involve working closely with the busy internal team at Dallaglio RugbyWorks & the schools where we work.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for a professional individual who has a passion for developing partnerships with organisations to allow the young people we work with to gain an insight into the world of work. It is important that you have good written & verbal communication skills, & the ability to provide excellent customer service, to ensure that our young people receive the best possible experience from our support. The post holder should also be positive, committed & approachable & a desire to work in an organisation that services a culturally diverse membership.

The successful applicant will have a proven track record sourcing & maintaining business relationship management & provide administrative support & event/project coordination for student groups, making sure to communicate effectively & offer exceptional customer service to the diverse range of members who engage.

 

Why apply?
Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring & creative individuals working to make a difference in young people’s lives.
