Theirworld is an influential global charity aiming to end the global education crisis and unleash the potential of the next generation. We work to ensure that every child has the best start in life, a safe place to learn, and skills for the future. To achieve this, we are tackling the lack of political will, financial commitment and action that is currently preventing the realisation of inclusive, quality education for all children. We bring together experience and evidence from our research and projects alongside the passion and power of our campaigns and communications to unlock the big, transformational changes needed to end the global education crisis.

We have existed since 2002, and we are currently going through an exciting period of growth and transformation - assembling a world-class team of campaigners, communicators, researchers, advocates and project managers with the skills, commitment to our mission, and strong team spirit and creative energy to turn the organisation’s vision into reality.

This investment in 2020 will involve further expanding the size of the network and investing in improved tools and approaches to offer greater training and campaigning opportunities for GYAs. This role will lead on turning that strategic vision into reality – you will be an inspiring leader who understands how to develop and maintain a first-class global youth engagement campaigning program and be able to translate strategic objectives into practical plans and execute those plans effectively.

The Senior Youth Engagement Manager will report to the Director of Policy, Advocacy and Programs and be based in our London office, with occasional domestic and international travel as required.

● Work closely with our Campaigns and Advocacy Managers to create and facilitate opportunities for GYAs to engage in (and create their own) campaign activities (both remote/online and attendance at high-level events such as the UN General Assembly).
● Work closely with the Director of Policy, Advocacy and Programs to create and implement an internal structure for the GYA program to enable simple tiers of engagement to balance the demands of a large network and for opportunities for deeper levels of engagement and impact from some of our GYAs.
