About the Role

• You’ll need to be happy occasionally working evenings or weekends during peak delivery times.
• Expect to be on your feet during some events or sessions-it’s all part of the fun!

It's a Tuesday afternoon in a school hall in Luton. Multiple Year 9s are sitting in a loose circle, arms crossed, faces doing that thing teenagers do when they've decided nothing is going to impress them. Twenty minutes later, one of them- a boy who hasn't said a word in class all term, according to his form tutor- is on his feet, mid-sentence, telling the room what he actually wants to do with his life. That shift has happened because his Yes Futures coach believed in him, and in turn he now believes in himself.

Who we are

Yes Futures is a youth coaching charity. We put professional coaches in front of young people who would otherwise never get that kind of one-to-one belief and challenge: leadership coaches, life coaches and executive coaches, the kind normally hired by boardrooms. Our flagship programme, Rising Futures, works in secondary schools, where teachers choose the students they believe will gain most from it. That looks different in every school. It might be a student whose confidence has dipped, or one who has never once put their hand up in class. What we give them is the same: someone whose whole job is to believe in them, and the tools to start believing in themselves. 

The programme combines one-to-one coaching with experiential learning days: from pitching product ideas inside a real company on a World of Work day to raft building and rock climbing on an Into the Wild day; experiences many of our students would never otherwise get. 

We're financially stable and growing across London and the South East. This role is part of that growth.

Please note: ​We're reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so don't wait until the deadline. If we get enough strong candidates before then, we may close early.

Introduction to the role

• Reporting to: Director of Programme
• Contract Type: Fixed term (6 months, with a genuine prospect of extension into a longer or permanent role, based on performance and demand)
• Start Date: 1st September 2026 or sooner
• Salary: £33,500-£37,000 (negotiable within this range) +5% employer pension contribution
• Working Hours: Full-time preferred; part-time considered depending on location and travel (see below) 
• Location and working pattern: Hybrid (Roughly 20% home-based, 10% office-based, 70% travel across partner schools) 
• Travel: The role will require travel across our partner schools and colleges in London and the South East. Currently this is as far west as Reading, south as South London, north as Luton, east as Essex.
  • ​You don't need to be able to cover the whole patch. If you can only serve some of these areas, apply anyway. Depending on where our strongest candidates are based, we may take on more than one person, including part-time, to split the geography between them.

This is not term-time only. It runs across the full contract, not just school terms.

Role purpose

The Programme Delivery Coordinator will be the person on the ground making Rising Futures actuallyhappen: in the room with young people, out on the experiential days that take the programme beyond the classroom, alongside our coaches, and in the relationships with schools that keep everything running. You'll combine direct delivery with the coordination and follow-through that turns a good session into a programme that holds together over months.

There will also be ad hoc demands beyond the core programme- this is a role for someone comfortable with a bit of unpredictability, not a fixed routine.

Key Responsibilities- What you’ll be doing

Delivery

• Deliver Rising Futures sessions and workshops directly in schools, working closely with students, educators and coaches

• Act as the main point of contact for your assigned school cohorts, keeping communication sharp and things running smoothly

• Plan and deliver our experiential learning days: World of Work days inside real employers, and Into the Wild days of outdoor challenge at activity centres

• Support monitoring and evaluation of impact: collecting data and feedback that actually gets used, not filed away

• Capture photos and videos of delivery in action for our reporting and communications

Coaches and relationships

• Support recruitment, selection and onboarding of coaches and volunteers

• Keep coaches equipped and confident to deliver high-quality sessions

• Build and maintain strong relationships with partner schools- the kind that make a partner school want to work with us again next year

Making it run

• Coordinate the logistics of delivery: scheduling, materials, venues

• Keep safeguarding and health and safety front of mind, always

• Handle the administrative side of delivery- records and reporting done properly, not as an afterthought

Who we're looking for

Forget the standard checklist for a moment. What we actually need is someone who can walk into a room of thirty teenagers who don't know you and don't owe you their attention, and have most of them leaning in within five minutes.

If you've done that before- as a teacher, youth worker, coach, facilitator, performer, anything- you probably already know whether this is you.

Person specification 

Essential

• Experience delivering programmes or workshops to young people in educational or youth development settings

• An ability to quickly establish effective relationships based on trust and respect with both children and adults, both within a group setting and one-to-one

• Excellent communication with a wide range of stakeholders: young people, school staff, parents, coaches, volunteers and employer partners, adjusting your style for each

• A proactive, flexible attitude- things will change, and you'll adapt without losing momentum

• Strong organisation and time management- comfortable holding several moving parts at once

• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team

• A passion for Yes Futures' work and a drive to increase the charity's reach

• Willing and able to travel across London and the South East as required, including travelling independently to schools with equipment and resource suitcases

• Proficient computer use, including word processing, spreadsheets and video conferencing

Desirable

• Understanding of safeguarding policy and best practice with young people

• Experience coordinating or administering youth programmes

• Familiarity with impact measurement and programme evaluation

• A keen interest and up-to-date knowledge in education matters and issues affecting young people

What you'll get

• £33,500–£37,000, negotiable, plus 5% employer pension contribution

• A role with real scope to grow- this six-month contract has a genuine chance of extending, based on how it goes and how demand grows

• A working pattern that mixes delivery, home working and office time, rather than being deskbound or constantly on the road

• The chance to work alongside coaches who normally charge boardrooms four figures a day, and see what their skillset does for a fifteen-year-old instead

• Days that don't look like anyone else's job: one week you're in a school hall, the next you're at an activity centre watching a Year 8 conquer a giant climbing wall.

How to apply

Applications are via Yes Futures' Charity Job page. Upload your CV or your LinkedIn profile to Charity Job.

Then, instead of the usual cover letter, we would like you to answer some specific questions, drawing from your experience in your CV/ Linked In profile:

Write us the answers to the following questions drawing from your experience (around 300 words per question):

1. Tell us about a session, workshop or activity you've delivered to young people that you're proud of. What made it work, and what would you do differently now? 

2. This role means building trust with a school one week and a fifteen-year-old the next. Tell us about a working relationship you've built with someone very different from you, and what made it work.

3. Walk us through a programme, event or series of sessions you've run from planning through to delivery. How did you keep the moving parts on track, and what did you do when something changed at the last minute?

We'll also ask one practical question so we can plan geography:

Which parts of our delivery area (London and the South East, from Reading across to Essex) could you cover for regular school days? If you're interested in a part-time arrangement covering part of this area, tell us here. 

Stage 2

If your application progresses to the next stage we will invite you to submit a 30-90 second video answering the following question: 

Tell us about a moment you got a group of young people- or any group- to open up, engage, or believe something they didn't believe five minutes earlier. What did you actually do?

Key dates:

Applications open: 7th July 2026

Applications close: Monday 27th July 2026, 8am

Final interviews: Week commencing 27th July 2026

We're reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so don't wait until the deadline. If we get enough strong candidates before then, we may close early.

For any questions, please email us at our organisation info email address.

ASPbelong is a project spanning universities, game developers, artists and young people, exploring how shared immersive experiences can strengthen real-world sense of belonging and mental health. We’re publicly funded by Horizon Europe and UKRI.

We’re looking for an exceptional collaborator to help grow awareness of Lina – our classroom experience in which young people aged 11-14 work together to solve the mystery of a missing classmate – and more broadly of our format Augmented Social Play (ASP). Played on tablets or smartphones without internet access, ASP combines immersive storytelling, collaborative gameplay and evidence-based psychology, making bold but safe use of ubiquitous tech to strengthen real-world connection.

Lina has been in soft launch via a multi-nation scientific study into its impact on young people and classroom climate. It’s been warmly received in dozens of schools, and now we’re gearing up for public launch. So this is about amplifying – getting our message to the right people, especially educators, journalists and thought-leaders. We’re non-profit and non-commercial; we’re motivated by innovation and belief in our work; our success metric is uptake, not income. But this is also about raising visibility in order to secure a future for this work.

This is not a routine social media role. You'll help shape an entire communications strategy, build new partnerships, approach mainstream and specialist press, influencers, and public figures, create or commission short-form content, plan and support event attendance, and more. 

We’re looking for someone with initiative, courage and sound judgement, who is genuinely excited by the work we’re doing. Passion for education, social impact, cross-disciplinary creative work or innovative tech could all be relevant. An understanding of how ideas reach people in 2026 is essential.

You’ll work closely with Adam Barnard, the project’s non-academic lead, while interacting with members of a diverse consortium spanning Brighton, Birmingham, London, Dublin, Austria, Czechia, Portugal and beyond. Being based in Brighton (as Adam is) or SE England is a bonus but not essential – this role is primarily remote – however you must be either a British national, or legally able to work in the UK.

We’d start in September / early Autumn, initially on a 6 week trial, then extending to roughly a year’s initial engagement. Hours flexible – we’ve envisioned this as a part-time freelance role, perhaps 2-3 days per week on average, but this is negotiable. Pay dependent on experience but in line with comparable roles. 

Before you apply, look closely at our website. Then email us with:

-A short introduction – who you are, and why this interests you (max 250 words)

-A relevant example of something you've made happen, or helped spread (max 250 words)

-You can attach, or link to, a CV and/or portfolio, but this is not essential.

Deadline: Monday 27 July, 12pm

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to help shape the next phase of the Trust's growth. With a strong foundation of long-standing supporters and an exciting new five-year strategy, the organisation is increasingly focused on securing larger, multi-year strategic partnerships that create meaningful impact for young people whilst building sustainable income for the future.

The Partnerships Manager will play a pivotal role in identifying, developing and securing new funding partnerships whilst also managing a portfolio of existing supporters. Working closely with colleagues across marketing, programme delivery and impact, you'll develop compelling partnership opportunities, build relationships with senior stakeholders and contribute directly to the Trust's ambitious growth plans.

Roles and Responsibilities

Business Development & New Partnerships

This role will be at the forefront of the Trust's growth ambitions, helping to identify and secure the next generation of strategic funding partners. Working with a broad range of organisations across industry, education and philanthropy, you'll build meaningful relationships that create lasting impact for young people while generating sustainable income for the Trust. This role will:

• Identify, develop and secure new corporate and strategic funding partnerships.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline of high-value partnership opportunities.
• Develop compelling, costed proposals and partnership packages.
• Secure multi-year partnership agreements that support the organisation's long-term strategy.
• Represent the Trust at networking events, conferences and stakeholder meetings.
• Work collaboratively across teams to identify and maximise new opportunities.

Partnership Management

• Manage a portfolio of existing corporate and strategic partners.
• Build strong, long-term relationships with key stakeholders.
• Produce reports, presentations and partnership updates.
• Identify opportunities to grow existing partnerships and deepen engagement.
• Coordinate with internal colleagues to ensure excellent partner experiences and programme delivery.
• Maintain accurate records, budgets and partnership information through CRM systems and reporting processes.

About You

We're looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial relationship builder who enjoys developing new opportunities and turning conversations into meaningful partnerships.

You will bring:

• A proven track record in business development, partnerships, account management or fundraising.
• Experience securing significant income, sponsorship or commercial partnerships.
• Strong proposal writing and presentation skills.
• Confidence building relationships with senior stakeholders and decision-makers.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills.
• A proactive approach and the ability to identify and pursue new opportunities independently.
• Experience managing multiple priorities and delivering against targets and deadlines.
• The ability to thrive within a collaborative and growing organisation where ideas are welcomed and initiative is encouraged.

Experience within charities would be welcomed but is not essential. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with backgrounds in partnerships, business development, sponsorship, account management, education, STEM, membership, commercial or wider relationship management roles.

One of the things that makes The Smallpeice Trust special is its culture. With a flat structure, highly engaged leadership team and supportive colleagues, this is an environment where people are encouraged to take ownership, spot opportunities and make things happen. As the organisation continues to grow its strategic partnerships programme, you'll have genuine scope to shape your portfolio and make a lasting impact.
