1625 Independent People (1625ip) has been working with young people in the South West for over 40 years. They are award winning experts in providing services for young homeless people, care leavers, those at risk and young people who offend. Despite multiple and complex needs, over 80% of the young people they support go on to succeed.

They provide much more than just a safe home for young people. They give them a network of people they can trust and a range of specialist support in areas, for example mental health and jobs coaching.  A major part of their work is supporting young people into Education, Employment and Training.  They offer young people opportunities they’ve never had, giving them a chance to believe in themselves, take healthy risks and to play a positive part in their communities. 

2024 onwards is an unbelievably exciting time for 1625ip, as, alongside their excellent day to day work, they have some major projects in their early stages including the renovation of their grade 2 listed HQ Kingsley Hall on old Market with a cafe and new training spaces.

They are now seeking the following: 

 · One Fundraising Expert – with significant high-level experience in charity fundraising.

· One expert in any field but we are particularly interested in those with experience of one or more of the following: commercial, community or social enterprises; senior roles in housing management or social care.

· We welcome applications from first time Director/ Trustees and will provide full induction and support.

 As a Board Member, you will use your skills, knowledge and experience to work collaboratively with the organisation’s Executive team to achieve the highest standards of operational performance throughout 1625ip.

You will be supported on your Board Member journey by a full induction programme and the opportunity to have a Board Buddy to help settle into your new role.

There are 5 evening Board meetings a year, 3-4 additional committee meetings (most in the evenings), an away day and several events with young people who use our services. The young people events are optional but are very informative and fun. 

To access the Information Pack and submit an application, please contact Vanessa Moon or Sandy Hinks

Equal opportunities for everyone

1625ip believe those with a criminal record should have an equal chance to become employees or volunteers and encourage applications.

As an organisation who safeguard and promote the safety and welfare of children, young people and adults at risk, any job offer will depend on a satisfactory DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. We comply fully with the DBS code of practice and undertake to treat all applications for positions fairly. For successful candidates with a criminal record, a risk assessment process will take place with the recruiting manager. 

We also pride ourselves on being an equal opportunities employer for everyone regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, religion and beliefs, sex and sexual orientation.

What young people say

“I feel like I am able to get on with stuff better now even though sometimes I might not feel up to it and I don’t think I’d be working in this job if it wasn’t for 1625’s help.”

“The heritage project has opened me up to new experiences I would never have thought I would get from cooking, and zine making to photography. I love to see where the project will go in the future.”

1625 Independent People has retained Moon Executive Search to manage this campaign and are therefore unable to accept CVs from third party agencies. All CV’s and expression of interest received will be forwarded directly to Moon Executive Search for consideration
