About Rekindle

Rekindle exists to create fierce critical thinkers who believe in themselves, question inherited truths, and learn in joyful, creative ways. We do this by developing a youth-led supplementary school provision which nurtures and supports working class young people (aged 11 - 14) who have faced numerous challenges on their education journey but still have a passion to learn and achieve their aspirations.

Our primary focus is to design an approach that offers support, connection, hope, and aspiration — one that pushes young people to believe they can be more, while first laying strong foundations of trust. We recognise that their knowledge and ideas are central to shaping this provision. Our approach is rooted in what young people care about, creating space for meaningful conversations with young adults and adults who can act as mentors.

To make this vision a reality we’re looking for a Youth Team Manager to join our team in Tulse Hill, London, on an initial 12 month basis.

1. Effective delivery of REKINDLE’s curriculum – Ensure that sessions are engaging, accessible, and aligned with the Snap and Four C’s framework, using strategies that foster critical thinking and independent learning.
2. Building meaningful relationships with young people – Develop strong, trusting connections to support their personal and academic growth, ensuring an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
3. Safeguarding and wellbeing – Maintain a safe space for all participants by adhering to safeguarding policies, identifying risks, and promoting well-being.
4. Collaboration and continuous improvement – Work closely with colleagues and external partners to enhance programme impact, contributing to ongoing development and evaluation.

Key Responsibilities (summary):

• Plan and deliver sessions that align with our curriculum and values.

• Support individual and group learning through creative teaching strategies.

• Promote youth voice, confidence, and critical dialogue.

• Maintain safeguarding standards and respond to wellbeing concerns.

• Work with local partners to expand opportunities.

• Contribute to the programme’s continuous improvement.

• Relevant qualifications or equivalent experience (including lived experience).

• At least 2 years’ experience managing work with working-class young people or those facing social marginalisation.

• Understanding of safeguarding practices.

• Experience planning structured, youth-focused activities.

• Ability to build strong relationships and think critically.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

• Experience with evaluation and research.

• First Aid/Safeguarding training (or willingness to obtain).

Directly managing our two Corporate Partnerships Managers, you will develop strategic partnerships, secure funding, and cultivate relationships that fuel our mission.

We are looking for someone with the skills and experience to develop and execute a comprehensive Corporate Partnerships fundraising strategy aimed at driving significant growth in both new and existing partnerships. As well as lead the team in creating and implementing new stewardship initiatives and robust development plans that maximise partnership value and company engagement, aligning with both partner and organisational strategic objectives.

We are also deeply committed to the development and growth of our staff, providing opportunities to enhance skills and achieve career goals.
