Prince’s Trust International (PTI) has been supporting young people worldwide since 2015. We were founded by HRH The Prince of Wales to tackle the global crisis of youth unemployment. Our mission is to empower young people to learn, work and thrive. We provide opportunities to develop the skills and confidence to succeed and deliver tangible employment outcomes. We blend our expertise with a global network of local partners and develop programmes and interventions to help young people to build their own futures.

As you’d expect, the organisation is going through a period of change as we adapt our delivery models in the face of the pandemic, and to maximise the efficacy of digital channels and platforms. We have a combined digital and design strategy which seeks to supplement and enhance our services for young people, growing both the quality and scale of our work. To deliver this, we’re focussing on efficient project design, adaptation of delivery models, and youth-centred innovation.

The Design and Development Manager will be the main person responsible for updating and continually improving a universal needs-led approach / methodology and the requisite tools for staff to deliver solutions to challenges.

The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and creative self-starter with a strong understanding of design thinking. They will have the desire to “get stuck in”, generating ideas and solutions, and will be excited by the prospect of developing processes and programmes that shape our work for years to come. They will have enthusiasm and passion for the vision of Prince’s Trust International, and a conviction to deliver positive outcomes for young people worldwide.

PTI is committed to ensuring our workforce is reflective of our diverse communities and is committed to increasing representation of staff of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds across all roles and at all levels.
