Job description

Join a dynamic, fast-paced and growing social enterprise as the local manager for our new Leeds team - helping us to support young people across the Leeds City Region and the North of England to develop their skills, confidence and connection to purpose. You will play an integral part in Unloc’s mission to develop young people as changemakers; focused on building relationships with local stakeholders, managing the programme facilitation team & delivering programmes directly to young people.

You’ll be joining an organisation that believes every young person can be a changemaker. By developing young people’s skills and confidence, we empower them to shape their lives and the world around them.

Unloc continues to grow its impact; working with schools and colleges across the country. We have established teams, offices and community programmes in both Portsmouth and London - and we’re excited to add Leeds to that mix, as part of our strategic plan to reach 40,000 young people a year by 2027. 

The new local manager in Leeds will lead the charge to grow our presence and impact within local communities in Leeds and beyond. You’ll create powerful connectivity with schools, colleges, businesses, local authorities and public sector partners to help us deliver on our mission.

At the same time, you will walk-the-walk by being part of our front line facilitation team; delivering innovative and exciting programmes with young people across our network of schools, colleges, businesses and community organisations. We deliver a broad range of programmes that develop young people’s skills, confidence and connection to purpose - they come under four key headings; Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Youth Voice, and Careers and Employability.

Unloc programmes for young people are unique. Our facilitators use innovative learning tools, both digital and physical, to create engaging events and experiences that young people will truly remember. They champion young changemakers and celebrate their successes, believing  in the power of young people. You will play a critical role in growing our unique programmes in the Leeds City Region and beyond.

If you are excellent at delivering engaging experiences for young people, building effective teams, creating a network of likeminded stakeholders, and are compelled by our mission to support young people to be changemakers... we want to hear from you!

What We Offer

  • A fun, driven and passionate team.

  • A fixed term post with a view to extending the contract.

  • Technology including a MacBook, iPhone and relevant accessories to make your working life easier.

  • Growth: we invest in individuals and are an ambitious organisation.

  • The opportunity to work with amazing young people.

  • A flexible approach to working life and 39 days holiday, including Bank Holidays, your birthday, and a company shut down period at Christmas.

  • Access to PerkBox, an external employee benefits & rewards scheme.

  • A workplace pension scheme whereby the employer contributes 3% of total employee earnings, rather than the legal-minimum of 3% of employee earnings above the threshold.

  • A comprehensive mental health support scheme for you and your immediate family through Health Assured including the Wisdom app.

  • A full year of team-building and CPD opportunities.

All appointments are subject to pre-employment checks returning satisfactory results including an Enhanced DBS Check, a social media check and Right to Work checks. We carry out these checks as an organisation that undertakes ‘regulated activity’ as defined by the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups (SVG) Act 2006. Please note that such checks will include both spent and unspent convictions. Any candidate with convictions relating to offences against children or other vulnerable people will be deemed as unsuitable to work at Unloc and any job offer will be made on this basis.

The recruitment process is outlined in Unloc’s Safer Recruitment Policy available on our Website. 

Where You’ll Be Delivering Our Mission

Most of the time, you’ll be based from our brand new Unloc Leeds office space in the city centre, or delivering programmes in Schools and Colleges in the Leeds City Region. 

You’ll also be out and about delivering programmes to our partners in other areas across the North of England. Occasionally, you will travel to London or Portsmouth (our HQ) to spend time with other teams. You will likely have more travel in your first three months as part of your induction programme. Of course, any travel costs outside of commuting to/from the Leeds city centre office will be covered, alongside an allowance for meals and accommodation.
