Reporting to: Director of Strategy and Innovation
The Youth Futures Foundation is a new, independent, not for profit organisation set up to tackle youth unemployment with a £90million endowment from the Reclaim Fund. We are looking for bold and impactful ways to help young people find and keep good jobs. There are over 750,000 young people not in education or employment in the UK. Young people are twice as likely to be unemployed than older adults in the labour market and BAME and disadvantaged young people disproportionately bear the brunt of it.
We are building an ‘empowerment foundation’ to identify practical solutions that work in a complex world yet are simple and cost effective enough to roll out across multiple locations, to reach as many young people as possible. To do this, we are now building our own inspiring team to help us achieve our vision.
As our Head of Policy you will work closely with the Director of Strategy & Innovation, the Head of Strategy, and other colleagues to support and contribute to YFF’s evidence-based policy work by the development and delivery of a cutting-edge policy agenda and stakeholder outreach strategy. You will identify and seize opportunities for influencing public policy at a national, local and regional level. You will be working in partnership with young people, employers, funders and government to collectively develop and champion effective approaches to bring about transformational change.
This is an exciting opportunity for an empowering leader to be at the core of the creation and delivery of the future-looking big ideas that will most transform youth employment over the next 10 years.
You will possess significant experience in a senior policy role in a relevant organisation, such as youth opportunities, employment support or a relevant government department with a demonstrable understanding of current key debates and priorities in the youth employment space. With the ability to remain politically neutral, you will have gained a deep understanding of the UK political environment and the operation of government in a policy or influencing role within a complex multi-stakeholder environment. You will also possess strong organisational, project management, report writing and influencing skills and given our collaborative approach, we are looking for a track record of solutions-oriented, convening and partnership working.
We are especially interested in hearing from individuals who are Black, Asian or from a minority ethnic background, and those who have lived experience that reflects the lives of the young people we are seeking to support. Whatever your background, if you have a personal mission that aligns with ours, and the ability to engage equally well with young people sat on the floor of a community centre as you do with business and government leaders in imposing board rooms, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

The University
Our University has a proud history of philanthropy stretching back to its foundation in 1900. With a clear vision to change the lives of the people of Birmingham, Joseph Chamberlain raised the funds required to build the University from citizens and corporations based locally and around the globe. Since then philanthropy has continued to play an important role in shaping the University. Having closed the Circles of Influence Campaign in 2015, which raised £193 million, making it the largest HE fundraising campaign outside Oxbridge and London, we have chosen to launch another, Birmingham in Action. This is the fifth largest fundraising campaign in the modern history of UK Higher Education.
The University has global reach, including several partnerships with other leading universities around the world, and is grounded in its local community, having opened the first fully comprehensive University secondary school in the country in 2015. It is also an innovative institution, being the first University to incorporate a Medical School, the first to create a students’ union, and the first to offer a women’s hall of residence. We are an ambitious and successful research-intensive University (one of the top 100 research-led universities globally) and have produced 11 Nobel Prize winners, including three who received their awards in 2016.
Our student body is one of the largest and most diverse in the UK. Our students come from nearly 150 countries and our flagship outreach programmes mean that almost 25% of our student population come from disadvantaged backgrounds, one of the highest proportions in the UK.
The Office
The Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) exists to support this academic and student community by engaging, inspiring, and celebrating alumni, individuals, and charitable funders who give their money, time, and networks to support the University’s strategic priorities. The Office, which comprises nearly 60 staff across four teams, is focused on fundraising and volunteering from alumni and individuals who are passionate about our five current campaign themes: everyone getting an education; treating and preventing cancer; families fleeing war, violence and famine; young people’s mental health; and protecting our planet.
The campaign has been planned, the framework created; it is unique and hugely ambitious, and will see Birmingham become one of the leading fundraising and volunteering universities in the world.
The Role
We are now looking for an Associate Director of Fundraising to maximise our enormous income generation potential; coach, nurture and challenge the well-established fundraising team; and deliver a bold and innovative strategy to support this exciting campaign, raising significant gifts yourself as you do.
