Imagine a role where your creativity and collaborative approach help connect supporters to a powerful mission, shifting the dial in the food and farming education sector so more children facing disadvantage can discover their connection with the land that sustains us all.

We’re seeking a skilled communicator and digital storyteller equally comfortable crafting social media posts, drafting briefing notes, or capturing and editing film content. You’ll be passionate about amplifying underrepresented voices and supporting social change through engaging communications that inform, connect and inspire.

You will work closely with colleagues across the organisation to drive engagement, raise our profile, and grow our digital presence through impactful multimedia storytelling. Your work will help bring the voices of children, families and communities to partners and supporters nationwide, placing The Country Trust’s mission at the heart of national conversations about wellbeing, education and tackling the poverty of opportunity.

This role involves travel and occasional overnight stays (with mileage reimbursed) across England and North Wales. While we prioritise public transport use, this is not always feasible. Therefore, a valid driving licence is essential.

About The Country Trust

The Country Trust believes every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet. We are the UK’s leading educational charity on a mission to connect children with the land that sustains us all.

When we don’t understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, or have the chance to spend time outdoors, there’s a significant knock-on effect for our health and the environment. Through nearly 50 years of programme delivery, we know children facing disadvantage often have the most to gain from this connection but are least able to access it.

Through food, farming and countryside experiences, our mission is to empower children to be confident, curious, and create change in their lives and the world around them — so that they and society thrive.

Are you passionate about empowering young people and want to help deliver inspiring educational experiences across the UK?

Do you thrive in fast-paced environments where your organisational skills and attention to detail make a real impact?

Summary

Young Citizens is recruiting two Programme Coordinators to help deliver our UK education programmes, one with a focus on Events Coordination, and the other on School Engagement. These roles are key to ensuring thousands of young people across the UK benefit from high-quality, meaningful learning experiences.

Note: We are hiring up to two Coordinators for initial 18 month contracts, with potential to become permanent. See the job pack below.

About us

Young Citizens is a UK education charity on a mission to help children and young people thrive in their communities and society. For nearly forty years we’ve equipped young people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand how democracy and society works, and how they can be a part of it. We’re a small, dynamic team working in each nation with a bold vision for the future. We have a well-loved set of digital lessons, tools and immersive programmes that primary and secondary schools come to each year to help deliver inspiring, quality citizenship education.

Role snapshot

This is a fantastic opportunity to join Young Citizens in one of two key Programme Coordinator roles, each helping to deliver our national education programmes.

• As Programme Coordinator – Event and Project Lead, you’ll oversee the planning and delivery of around 65 events each year, from mock trials and school workshops to teacher training and sector-facing events, ensuring every detail contributes to a high-quality experience for young people, educators, and volunteers. In addition to event delivery, the role also involves leading key projects that support programme development and growth.
• As Programme Coordinator – Schools Engagement Lead, you’ll be the main point of contact for over 480 secondary schools, managing registrations, communications, and support to ensure smooth, engaging participation across our programmes.

Both roles are vital to our mission of empowering young people through active citizenship. You’ll play a hands-on role in shaping a well-established charity as we deliver on our 3-year strategy, with opportunities to facilitate workshops and mock trials, coordinate programme delivery, and build strong relationships with stakeholders. You’ll be part of a small, collaborative team where clear processes, adaptability, and a passion for social impact are key to success.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for highly organised, proactive individuals who thrive in fast-paced environments and care deeply about making a difference for young people. Whether your strengths lie in event logistics or school engagement, you’ll bring energy, precision, and a collaborative mindset to our dynamic team.

You’ll have experience coordinating programmes or events, managing busy workloads, and building strong relationships with a range of stakeholders. Confidence in facilitation (or a willingness to train), strong IT skills, and a solutions-focused approach are essential.

We value team players who can adapt quickly, set up effective processes, and keep things running smoothly. If you're energised by coordinating events, managing logistics with precision, and building trusted relationships with schools to deliver inspiring educational programmes, we’d love to hear from you.

Benefits of working at Young Citizens

In addition to joining a small, friendly, and supportive team, we offer:

• Hybrid and flexible working options
• Enhanced employer pension contribution
• 28 days annual leave plus eight Bank Holidays
• Paid volunteering leave
• A day off for your birthday
• Employee assistance programme
• Enhanced sickness and maternity policies
• Season ticket loan
• The opportunity to make a real difference to children and young people across the UK

This is a hybrid working role, requiring office attendance a minimum of 2 days a week during non-delivery periods and may require more frequent office attendance during delivery periods. Candidates should be based within a reasonable commute to St Paul’s, London and have the existing right to work in the UK.
