About the Role:

As the Educational Partnerships Manager, you will play a vital role in connecting with schools, colleges, and youth clubs across North East London, with a particular focus on those based in the most disadvantaged communities. This means you'll be working with schools that serve young people from areas with the greatest barriers to social mobility. Your mission will be to ensure these young people have access to life-changing opportunities, enabling them to develop vital skills, build an enterprising mindset, and prepare for a successful future.

You’ll be a key member of YE’s Educational Partnerships Regional Team, collaborating closely with the Educational Partnerships Regional Manager to drive the success of our enterprise and financial education programmes. These programmes are designed to help young people make positive contributions to their communities and society, while equipping them with the tools to shape their own future.

This is a dynamic and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You will engage directly with young people and teachers in schools, delivering and supporting YE’s programmes, while developing new relationships and strengthening existing partnerships.

There is a degree of manual handling and you will be required to work some evenings and weekends. Further:

• There is the potential to be on your feet for extended periods of time.
• You will be required to support with setting up venues for events.
• You will be required to transport resources and other materials between your car and the venue or around a school building.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and Nurture Relationships: Cultivate and expand relationships with educational institutions, including schools, colleges, and youth clubs, to deliver YE’s programmes and services effectively.
• Promote the Impact of Our Programmes: Raise awareness of YE’s enterprise and financial education programmes, demonstrating how they help young people build essential skills and prepare for the future.
• Delivery of Programmes: Deliver engaging sessions and support the delivery of YE’s programmes to young people across various educational settings, including schools, colleges, and youth centres.
• Volunteer Management: Identify, recruit and locally train Business Volunteers, Volunteer Mentors and Local Volunteer Teams. This will include harnessing excellent relationships with volunteers, ensuring that our volunteers are supported on their journey with YE.
• Collaboration and Teamwork: Work alongside your regional team to achieve shared KPIs, contributing to the success of the region and the wider organisation.
• Income Generation: Actively support efforts to generate local income and secure resources to continue delivering our impactful programmes.
• Safeguarding: Undertake training and ensure YE’s safeguarding policy is adhered to at all times.
• Tech-Savvy: Competence in using IT tools such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams.

At Young Enterprise, safeguarding is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults. All successful applicants will undergo an enhanced DBS check and receive ongoing safeguarding training throughout their employment.

At YE we are passionate and committed to keeping your data safe and secure.  Full details can be found in the YE People’s Privacy Notice.

You’re passionate about engaging communities and connecting people with meaningful volunteering opportunities and enjoy using creativity, marketing, and social media to inspire action.

As Local Volunteering Attraction Coordinator, you'll play a key role in promoting volunteering and driving new volunteer applications to support and grow our services. Working flexibly and independently, you'll engage with local communities, build relationships with organisations, and use a range of marketing and outreach activities to encourage people to get involved. You'll need to be adaptable, self-motivated, and comfortable working both independently and as part of a wider team, using technology to stay connected.

You'll develop and implement strategic recruitment plans, using a mix of social media, local media, community events, and partnerships to identify potential volunteers. Representing Guide Dogs at events and fairs, you'll raise awareness of our work and inspire people to take the next step in their volunteering journey. Planning and hosting events will be a key part of the role, ensuring that engagement is maximised, and recruitment targets are met.

Collaboration will be essential as you’ll be working closely with Communications colleagues to ensure best value from advertising partnerships and presence on Guide Dogs’ digital channels. You'll also work with internal teams to align recruitment efforts with local and national volunteer targets, supporting regional campaigns and monitoring performance to continuously improve recruitment effectiveness.

To be successful in this role, you'll need experience in volunteer recruitment, community outreach, marketing, or related fields, with a strong ability to engage and inspire others. You'll be confident in delivering marketing campaigns, creating engaging advertising materials, and using data to track and improve recruitment strategies. A degree or formal qualifications in marketing or volunteering would be beneficial, but not essential.

This is a part-time home-based role, working 32 hours per week, with regular travel across Wales.  You’ll need to demonstrate a proactive, flexible approach and willingness to work occasional evenings and weekends to attend key events. The closest office is Cardiff.  In this role, you can make a tangible impact in growing an engaged and passionate volunteer community.

No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them – and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.

Interviews for this role are planned to take place W/C 21 April.

For high volumes of applications, we reserve the right to close adverts earlier than advertised.
