The Youth Endowment Fund is a bold new attempt to put early intervention at the heart of efforts to tackle youth offending.

Over the last few years, evidence suggests that growing numbers of children and young people have been affected by violent crime. More children have been found carrying knives and a growing number have been recorded as victims. We believe that each individual child is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. Founded by youth charity Impetus and its partners the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business, we exist to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in violent crime. Many organisations have this calling. Our unique role is to identify what works best and to spread the good news. The Operations Lead has a critical role in ensuring we succeed at this role.

Key responsibilities

All of your responsibilities boil down to this. Working with others especially the Executive Director of YEF, the COO for Impetus and the FDs at the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business, you ensure that we:

• Hire, develop and inspire the very best people. You will work with partners to ensure that we hire the best possible staff, provide necessary and effective training, build and maintain a clear and inspiring culture and set of values, gain a clear understanding and strong focus on staff well-being, manage and develop staff effectively and address poor performance when required.
• Provide staff with the tools they need to perform. You will work with partners to ensure that we have the tools we need to deliver including management information, databases, systems and processes, office facilities and more as you see fit.
• Use our resources wisely. You will work with partners to ensure that there is effective financial reporting and controls in place and an effective budgeting process.
• Build our partnership that is more than the sum of its parts: In nearly all of the above you will work with operational staff in each of our partners: Impetus, the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business. You will ensure that the partnership operates effectively so that all of the above can be achieved and that we can deliver our goals.

You do not need to be a trained accountant, but you are comfortable understanding a budget. You can easily use excel to keep track of expenditure and to project future expenditure.

It wouldn't faze you to have responsibility for organising things that are new to you as long as you have an expert to ask advice from. You like learning and developing.

• You are good at working with partners. You have experience of working with partner organisations and making sure that the partnership is more than the sum of its parts.
