About the Role

You’ll be a key driver of our Inspiring Futures programme—helping young people break down barriers and imagine bigger futures.
It’s a varied, people-focused role with loads of room for creativity, independence and collaboration. Whether you’re visiting a school, chatting with a funder, or supporting a trade fair, you’ll be helping young people build skills that will last a lifetime.
You’ll love this job if you are…

- Excited by the idea of doing a job that combines delivery, relationship-building, fundraising and volunteering
Key Responsibilities

- Work with your regional team to meet shared goals and celebrate local impact
- Help secure local funding by supporting fundraising efforts and managing project deliverables
- Support the planning of events, trade fairs and celebrations for young people
- Keep accurate records, track impact, and make sure safeguarding is front and centre
A few practical things:
- This is a hands-on role—you’ll sometimes be lifting resources, setting up venues and travelling regularly (a car and full driving licence are essential)
- 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!
