About the Youth Investment Fund

The Youth Investment Fund (YIF) is a £368 million fund created by the UK government to create, expand and improve youth facilities and services in England to drive positive outcomes for young people.

YIF is being delivered by a partnership between Social Investment Business, The Key Fund, National Youth Agency and Resonance.

Together, we aim to deliver grants for up to 300 facilities in selected eligible areas across England by 2025 that represent positive value for money, are environmentally sustainable and enable positive activities for young people aged 11–18 (up to 25 for young people with SEND).

This funding will drive value-for-money facilities that youth organisations can afford to sustain. Using innovative construction techniques, as well as supporting redevelopment projects that expand youth service provision, the YIF will achieve savings on facility running costs, so that resources can focus on activities that enrich young people’s lives.

It will support projects to level up youth provision, assessing and distributing grants so that local youth facilities and services can be the best they can be.  For further information please visit the Youth Investment Fund website, details of which can be found on the Job Description.

This will range from simply sharing our findings internally to actively working with other teams to inform better data processes. It also includes providing consistent and responsive direct support to the grants and investment teams.
8. To work alongside colleagues to inform business development, supporting strong base case analysis, projected fund models and grant delivery models.

Who We Are 

Migrateful runs cookery classes led by refugees, asylum seekers and migrants struggling to integrate and access employment. The cookery classes provide ideal conditions not just for learning English and building confidence, but also for promoting contact and cultural exchange with the wider community.

Our Mission

Due to legal, linguistic and social barriers, finding work can be extremely difficult for many migrants. Being unable to provide for themselves and their families has significant negative effects on self-esteem and mental health. Migrateful’s mission is to empower and celebrate refugees and vulnerable migrants on their journey to integration, by supporting them to run their own cookery classes.

Why Work for Us?

Migrateful is a young, award-winning, innovative social enterprise and registered charity. Set up in 2017 by the founder and CEO, Jess Thompson (featured on the Forbes 30 under 30 list), in five years it has grown into an organisation with 84 chefs, 13 staff and 150 volunteers. Our main operation is in London with pilot operations currently in Bristol, Kent & Brighton. Working with us you would be part of a friendly and supportive team, with drive and energy to develop the Migrateful model further, replicate it in other parts of the country and create a fairer, more integrated society.

Why now?

It’s an exciting time to join Migrateful.  We have recently conducted a piece of research to understand how successfully Migrateful classes meet the criteria for ‘contact theory’ which underpins our model. We are also in the process of publishing our first impact report. Our model has now been honed and tested and proven to work, not only in terms of the benefits it brings to vulnerable migrants but also in terms of providing an enjoyable experience for class participants. Our classes foster kinder attitudes towards migrants in the UK, and we want to maximise our impact by implementing it at scale across the country and beyond. In this role you would be in the exciting and crucial position of delivering on this strategic aim in the Bristol area.

Essential 

• Demonstrable commitment to Migrateful’s mission.
