ABOUT GENERATION

Generation's mission is to provide a career-launching job for every young person, anywhere in the world. 

We are a not-for-profit social enterprise that delivers tailored programmes to recruit, train and place unemployed young people into work. Though our unique approach we also solve a wide range of employer challenges—skilled talent shortages, poor job performance, lack of diversity, and high turnover.

Generation launched globally in 2015, and has grown quickly to become the world’s largest demand-led youth employment initiative. We have placed over 30,000 young people into roles (many of whom have suffered some form of adversity), working with over 2,000 employer partners to date across 10 countries and 26 professions.

Generation successfully launched the first UK programmes in March 2019, following 18 months of planning. This included a healthcare programme developed in collaboration with the NHS, and a Cloud Operations programme developed in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Following successful pilots, both programmes are now being scaled up, and we are expanding across London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Dublin.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for someone to launch Generation's programmes in Manchester. This is a very entrepreneurial role - you'll initially be quite hands-on in planning and delivering the first programmes, and sourcing and selecting the right students and employers. Over time you'll be building out a team, managing partnerships (local government, corporate partners etc), securing funding, and growing the volume and selection of programmes.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who relishes the challenge of working autonomously to build a scalable, high-impact initiative in their local area.

RESPONSIBILITIES

There are three main areas of responsibility:

1. Business Development

• Develop a pipeline of likely employers through direct outreach and effective sales processes, as well as leveraging partner networks to engage employers at wider scale.
• Work with employers to secure their commitment to recruit graduates from Generation programmes, and managing commercials on a ‘fee per hire’ basis.
• Manage Generation’s existing relationships with major providers, and develop new relationships with local partners, CSR groups and authorities who can provide the following types of support : attracting youth to Generation programmes, providing training / work space, engaging quality instructors and mentors, providing funding for the expansion and growth of Generation in your region.
• Develop funding proposals / applications to support the securing of future funding.
• Implement a range of marketing initiatives that will build awareness of the programmes. Design and implement marketing collateral, pricing and processes to support these initiatives.
• Ensure your region has the support and funding to grow the volume of programmes in future years.

2. Programme Delivery & Team Management

• Oversee all planning of programmes in your region. Over time this may include : determining the right programmes to run, identifying elements that need to be customised for your region, scheduling of programmes / classes, ensuring there is sufficient support in place, implementing mechanisms to track and analyse data.
• Ensure the successful delivery of all programmes in your region, meeting targets related to : filling classrooms with target groups, course completion rates, job placement rates, improvements in students’ financial and personal wellbeing (in line with our charitable mission).
• Identify the resources needed to achieve Generation’s goals, ensuring they are aligned with your funding targets. Successfully recruit and manage these resources, taking responsibility for their engagement and development.
• Remain connected with wider Generation teams, sharing progress, leveraging services and resources, and ensuring your region’s programmes are aligned to other regions.
• Equally, remain connected with partners supporting programme delivery, ensuring they experience value, deliver quality, and can scale alongside Generation.

3. Contribute to the wider success and growth of Generation in the UK & globally

• Work closely with Generation UK and global colleagues to feed in learnings and share best practices.
• Facilitate roll-out of new initiatives from the global or UK team to your region.
• Work closely with Generation leadership to identify and develop new opportunities, plus help to shape and grow the UK and Global organisations.
• Support the design and development of Generation UK’s playbook, ensuring there is a consistent approach to business development, programme delivery, and team management.

BENEFITS

At Generation, we're changing the lives of many young adults, and that in itself gets us out of bed! Here are a few other benefits you'll experience working with the UK team:

• Work alongside some of the best minds to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time—youth unemployment.
• Opportunity to make your mark - you'll have a lot of autonomy to bring the Generation blueprint to life in a way that makes sense for your region.
• Opportunity to get involved with a range of activities and projects - we're a small team so there's lots of opportunities to get involved!
• Flexible working - we try and accommodate everyone's preferred working pattern / preferences.

As well as centre-based activities,schools work emerged as another important strand of the charity, with support being offered to several schools across Bolton, in a variety of ways (e.g. lunchtime clubs, pupil mentoring support, and targeted issues-based work).

In 2017, with mental health concerns emerging as a major issue for the young people in the community, a new “Young Persons Listening Service” and “Healthy Minds” peer support group was set up as part of a new “Thrive alliance” working in partnership with other Bolton based charities and with funding from Bolton CCG.

Whilst the charity has changed and evolved since being formed, the heart of serving the community and being faith based not biased has never and will never change.
