YMCA Robin Hood Group has a strong track record of delivering impactful, engaging and highly successful youth programmes across Nottinghamshire. We are looking for someone new to join us to really boost our offering, expand our services and seek out groups of young people yet to engage in our services as our new Youth Services Manager.

As our Youth Services Manager, you have responsibility for the programmes we run today and in the future across Nottingham and Newark specifically designed for children and young people aged predominately 10-25 years old.

This is a truly varied role where you will be able to drive the strategy for the service whilst also remaining hands on and delivering sessions keeping you in touch and connected with the young people we support.

Job Description

• Grow, lead, manage and develop the Youth Services Team across YMCA Robin Hood Group as well as its subsidiary organisations: YMCA Newark and Sherwood, YMCA Goole, The Zone Youth Charity.

What we’re looking for

You will be an excellent major donor fundraiser, with experience of designing and delivering high-impact stewardship programmes and events, and a track record of securing major gifts through written and/or verbal proposals. You will need to be a proactive and ambitious team player, able to work from your own initiative.

You will be able to work primarily from home if you prefer, but will need to be able to be in London when necessary – approximately once a month on average – as well as being willing to travel to meet donors when necessary.

Why our work is so vital

Literacy changes everything.

It gives you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. It’s the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. It’s better results at school, and better jobs. If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books to read or opportunities to write, it’s harder to get where you want to go.

The National Literacy Trust is an independent charity helping people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words – reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days to training, jobs and beyond.

· We work collaboratively in local communities, focusing our work in 20 areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges.

· We support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children.

· We campaign to make literacy a priority for politicians and decision-makers.

· We support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders’ institutions to build their literacy skills
