About the Youth Endowment Fund

The Youth Endowment Fund is a bold new attempt to put early intervention at the heart of efforts to tackle youth offending.

Over the last few years, evidence suggests that growing numbers of children and young people have been affected by violent crime. More children have been found carrying knives and a growing number have been recorded as victims. We believe that each individual child is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. Founded by youth charity Impetus and its partners the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business, we exist to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in violent crime.

To succeed we must do two things brilliant. Firstly we must: ‘Find what works’. We have a team of expert grant makers and researchers funding and evaluating programmes to find out what works. By itself though this won’t matter. We have to be just as good at: ‘Make change happen’. To make change happen, we will have to take people with us. This is where you come in. We won’t change anything unless we can build a powerful coalition of youth charities and youth workers who want to see knife crime reduced. It is your job to build this coalition and make sure that change happens.

Key responsibilities

Most fundamentally, you lead on ensuring that the Youth Endowment Fund successfully makes change happen in the youth sector. You will do this by:

• Building fantastic external relationships and coalitions: If we are to have a chance at changing practices in the youth sector, we will need to build deep and trusting relationships. Every time we run a themed round of funding (from mentoring to detached youthwork) we will want to build a coalition of engaged supporters in the youth sector who care about this area of focus. It will be your job to build and strengthen these relationships.
• Overseeing the change process when the theme is linked to the youth sector: Twice a year we will launch a change process made up of a number of stages. It is your job to ensure this process is followed and that all parts of the organisation play their part:
  • Selecting an area of focus for a grant round, e.g., exclusions, alternative provision, mentoring.
  • Preparing for a grant round, which includes building coalitions, engaging young people, summarising the existing evidence, mapping power and influence.
  • Delivering the grant round, which includes selecting high quality applications, supporting and improving them and selecting the best.
  • Evaluating the outcomes, which includes finding what works and why it works.
  • Delivering impact, which includes scaling up great charities, spreading great practice and pushing for system changes.
• Identifying and delivering the best way to achieve change: In each theme-based grant related to the youth sector round it is your job to ensure we find the best way to achieve change. You decide whether there are particular practices we should look to spread or systems that we should look to change. In all of this you will be looking to work with the coalitions that you have built.
• As a senior member of staff in the organisation you also:
  • Build a culture where it is natural to perform well and support colleagues brilliantly.
  • Contribute to setting the strategy, delivering results and building and modelling the culture that we need to succeed.

About You

You are this sort of person:

• You make change happen. You have experience of finding ways to make things happen. You especially excel in situations of ambiguity where there are not clear rules to follow, previous patterns to copy or clear evidence of what will work.
• You win people over. People tend to warm to you and respect you. You have built good relationships with very senior people and with very junior people. You are good at chairing meetings, connecting people and having good introductory meetings. You are comfortable talking to a government minister, a youth worker, a company CEO, a teacher and a 15 year old student. Listening to people from all backgrounds matters to you.
• You understand the youth sector and youth workers: You really understand how the youth sector works; you have worked in it or with it. You would ideally have some experience working with young people directly. (It is a huge unexpected bonus if you also understand either policing, the education sector or children’s social care).
• You learn fast but remain humble. You are very quick at getting your head around things. You like learning. You are very good at synthesising information. You know how much you don't know. You know that you can learn more. You know that it's easy to assume you know when you don't. You care more that good things happen than who gets the credit. You are a great and supportive team player.
• You write very well: You write clearly without using jargon. You are good at being brief. Your writing is persuasive when you want it to be.
• You are both organised and flexible: You are a very organised person who can juggle multiple things while always being clear what the overall goal is. People comment on how well organised you are. But you are also highly flexible. When the situation changes, you are happy to change your plan.
• You are fascinated and thoughtful on how change happens. You have the cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence and experience to find the ways to make change happen when there are multiple stakeholders. You understand why people find change difficult. You come alive talking about how people make decisions and why they do the things they do. You are interested in behavioural change.
• You are an excellent strategic thinker. People say that you are good at seeing the big picture. You have experience of wrestling into place a strategy for a project or organisation. You are good at thinking logically but you are also creative. You have ideas but are happy rejecting a lot of them. You like seeing things from different points of view.
• You don't want your days to pass without making a difference. You want to play a significant part in reducing the level of youth violence.
• You understand young people. You understand what the lives of vulnerable young people can be like and you understand some of the organisations that work with them, ideally through first-hand experience.
• You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.

You must have this sort of experience

You have …

• Built Partnerships or Coalitions: You have significant experience in building partnerships or coalitions. You can show how these have been effective in delivering change.
• Worked in or with the youth sector: You have worked in or with the youth sector for a number of years, this might be working directly with young people but doesn’t have to be.

While it is not a criteria, we are especially interested to hear from applicants who have lived experience of youth violence.

It is also important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.

About the Youth Endowment Fund

The Youth Endowment Fund is a bold new attempt to put early intervention at the heart of efforts to tackle youth offending.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in violent crime. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. For children and young people, there have been particularly large increases in those who are both the perpetrators and victims of offences involving knives. We believe it is vital to intervene early in children’s lives to tackle the root causes of crime and violence, and to stem this worrying trend.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. Founded by youth charity Impetus and its partners the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business, we exist to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in violent crime. We do this by finding the best ways to prevent youth violence, funding promising initiatives and working to scale them up.

Some of the most successful work to reduce violent crime has been when local partners work together, share information and coordinate action. We want to establish the very best approaches to doing this, show clearly why they work and then support them being copied elsewhere. We call this our place-based work.

Key Responsibilities
 

You will lead our place-based work, making sure we do everything possible to find and spread the best ways to help local bodies to work together, sharing information and working in a coordinated way to make change happen. We are excited by the possibilities here, but realistic about the challenges and complexities involved.  You will make sure we navigate these challenges, finding the best ways that local partnerships can succeed.

To do this you will:

• Finalise our place-based strategy and put it into action. This means making sure that we have a ready-to-go plan for finding the most effective ways of getting local bodies to share information and coordinate activity so that youth violence falls.

• Build and nurture strong partnerships in places across England and Wales that are ready to share information and work together to reduce crime.
   
• Find the best way to ensure that partners get the help and support that they need to make our work a success. This could be direct support from you, the wider YEF team / our partners, or by bringing in external help.

• Once we know more about what works in place-based crime reduction, help local partnerships across England and Wales know what works and learn about how to make it happen. 

• Ensure that we learn what works really effectively. Working closely with our Knowledge and Evaluation teams you will make sure we learn what, why, how and where things work (and don’t work).

• As a senior staff member, you will also:
  • Help build a culture where it is natural to perform well and support colleagues brilliantly.
  • Help to inform the strategy, deliver results and build and model the culture that we need to succeed.

About You

You are this sort of person:

• You understand young people. You understand what the lives of vulnerable young people can be like and you understand some of the organisations that work with them, ideally through first-hand experience. You have a good understanding of how the youth sector, public sector and schools operate.

• You are fascinated and thoughtful on how change happens. You have the cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence and experience to find the ways to make change happen when there are multiple stakeholders. You understand why people find change difficult. You come alive talking about how people make decisions and why they do the things they do. You are interested in behavioural change.

• You win people over. People tend to warm to you and respect you. You have built good relationships with very senior people and with very junior people. You are comfortable talking to a Secretary of State, a youth worker, a company CEO, a teacher and an 11 year-old student. Listening to people from all backgrounds matters to you.
   
• You learn fast but remain humble. You are very quick at getting your head around things. You like learning. You are very good at synthesising information. You are a great and supportive team player.

• You believe evidence and research have an important role to play in improving local practice. You are passionate about making sure local planning and change is informed by the best available evidence.

• You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.

• You make things happen. You have experience of getting to the heart of a strategy and turning it into operational plans. You especially excel in situations of ambiguity where there are not clear rules to follow, previous patterns to copy or clear evidence of what will work. You know attention to detail, clarity of purpose and strong project management matter.  

You must have this sort of experience:

You have…

• Built Partnerships:  You have significant experience in building strategic, long lasting partnerships. You can show how these have been effective in delivering impact for children and local communities.

• Developed and Delivered Strategy:  You have significant experience of developing strategies. You can then translate them into great ideas and actions.

• Managed complex projects:  You have significant experience of managing projects with a diverse range of stakeholders. 

• Managed senior stakeholders: You have experience of working with local leaders, youth practitioners and/or commissioners on strategy development or programme design.

You might have this sort of experience

It’s not necessary but it would be an extra bonus if you have…

• Experience of turning evidence into credible messages, tools and advice relevant to local practice.

While it is not a criteria, we are especially interested to hear from applicants who have lived experience of youth violence.

It is also important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.

Director of Fundraising
Full time-35hrs
£90k; Flexible location but with significant time in London

Cancer is different for young people. Our vision is a world where cancer doesn’t stop young people from living their lives – and our job in making that vision a reality is to improve the experience, survival and recovery of every young person with cancer in the UK. 

Young people facing cancer are at the centre of everything we do. Our values are built around this. We believe we can support young people with cancer best if we work in a determined, united, spirited and kind way. What that means is we all believe deeply in what we do & why we do it, but we also bring the attitude, drive, energy and passion that makes things happen.

Teenage Cancer Trust has been a hugely successful organisation for many years – leading the way in specialist support for young people with cancer in the UK and across the globe. We’re driven by what young people with cancer need and are the UK’s leading charity dedicated solely to the treatment, care and support of 13-25-year olds with cancer.

What’s clear is that we have significant opportunities to further expand and deepen our impact - but doing that in the face of the challenges to income posed by the current pandemic is going to be challenging.  

Now, we’re not daunted by that, far from it and we’re looking for a Director of Fundraising who can rise to the challenge and seize opportunities. With the right fundraising leader to help rebuild revenue and develop our strengths we know we will not only survive but thrive. This is not an organisation – or role - that’s about more of the same or one size fits all.
