This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join our sector-leading UK Voice and Influence Team, and work very closely with our brilliant SEEN Programme, as well as our Children's Services across the UK.
Please note: this role carries a genuine occupational requirement that the postholder is from Black or Minoritised Ethnic (or ‘BAME', ‘Global Majority' or ‘African, Asian, Caribbean or Mixed heritage') community. We will confirm this prior to finalising our shortlist for interview.
The context:
Listening and responding to the voices and experiences of young people across the UK is a foundation of our three-year strategy – and in particular the voices of Black or Minoritised Ethnic young people, who are often less-heard.
Our vision is to build and support an engaged, diverse network (B-Amplified) of young people (aged 11-25) from across the UK who represent a broad range of identities and lived experiences, and who can speak out and work alongside Barnardo's in pursuit of our core purpose: Changing Childhoods, Changing Lives.
To help us do this, we are strengthening our B-Amplified Network and introducing new opportunities for young people to engage in our work, including through our new Lived Experience Ambassadors offer and an annual Youth Summit.
The challenge this role will help us address:
Black or Minoritised Ethnic children and young people are less visible and represented across Barnardo's work – in our Children's Services, and in our UK voice and influence work. This role will help us:
- Address ongoing feedback about the need for greater representation of Black or Minoritised Ethnic young people within B-Amplified, while also strengthening engagement from children's services to support pathways for a longer-term, stronger charity-wide approach to inclusive engagement.
- Identify and understand barriers within children's services that prevent meaningful engagement with Black or Minoritised Ethnic young people. This will help inform V&I, SEEN, and the wider organisation's approach to anti-racist practice, and excellent and inclusive voice and influence work.
Specifically, this role will:
- Lead on the recruitment, coordination and support of young people signed up as B-Amplified Network members – the role will be the dedicated member of staff to onboard, sustain engagement, and successfully support young people to transition and exit to other opportunities.
- Support the SEEN Ambassadors, and coordinate their engagement in the wider B-Amplified Network offer – bringing them more coherently into the wider voice and influence programme of work, and ensure there is a consistent approach to monitoring, evaluation, recording and reporting for this group of young people.
In year 1 of this role, we expect the focus to be on the anti-racism strand to excellent and inclusive services and, by extension, the increased engagement of Black or Minoritised Ethnic children and young people – locally, in services, and nationally, in national opportunities. As part of its ‘business as usual', this role will:
- Provide ‘hands-on' sessional and pastoral support for young people participating in the B-Amplified Network and those who are SEEN Ambassadors.
- Coordinate and support a programme of personal and skills development sessions for young people participating in the B-Amplified Network and those who are SEEN Ambassadors – such as training, webinars and similar – to ‘get them ready' to have a voice and influence in decision-making.
- Forge improved links between the B-Amplified Network and SEEN Ambassadors, to ensure clarity of role/s, engagement and our ‘menu' of opportunities.
For this role, we're looking for someone who brings: [shortlisting criteria]
- At least five years' experience in a role working directly with children and/or young people in a health, social care, education or youth work setting.
- Experience of designing, delivering and evaluating strategic voice and influence activities with young people – including through remote or virtual working.
- Knowledge and understanding of the practical application of anti-racist principles, practice and ways of working.
- Experience of working across complex structures, hierarchies and partnerships, with experience of working with a range of stakeholders at different levels and reporting through matrix arrangements.
- Ability to plan, deliver and evaluate projects, collaboratively and effectively.
- Excellent collaboration, networking and partnership-working skills.
Specific circumstances of this role:
The right candidate will:
- Be from a Black or Minoritised Ethnic (or ‘BAME', ‘Global Majority' or ‘African, Asian, Caribbean or Mixed heritage') community - this is a genuine occupational requirement.
- Live close to a national rail station and/or airport – as regular travel across the UK will be required, including overnight visits (1-2 times per month).
- Be able to work flexibly to accommodate direct work with young people outside of 'normal' hour (i.e. evenings and weekends).
Important to note:
We recognise the inherent power dynamics at play, and that the occupational requirement does not imply that the responsibility to ‘solve' the issue of diversity rests solely with a minoritised individual (or team). Instead, this role forms part of a wider, intentional commitment across the organisation to embed anti-racist and inclusive practice at every level and is why we have proposed a matrix management approach - to ensure the role is not siloed, but meaningfully supported and connected across teams.
A key focus will be to understand and address the structural and cultural barriers that children's services and internal teams may face when engaging with Black or Minoritised Ethnic young people.
When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document (if applicable). This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described

Land, and the way that it is owned and managed, impacts on all of us. It has different places in all of our histories, whatever our backgrounds or heritage, whether our experience is of public or private ownership, colonialism, dispossession, or migration, the difficulties of making a living in a rural economy or the daily impacts of urbanisation and gentrification. How we currently own, manage and make decisions about land lies at the heart of many of our current social, economic and environmental challenges and injustices.
Shared Assets works with people and land for a just future.
We undertake advice & support, research, movement building, communications and resourcing work to support, mobilise and advocate for the development of models of managing land that create shared social, economic and environmental benefits. We see systems change as a core value of our work and seek to be transformative, both through externally-facing projects and internal approaches and ways of working.
Our research work supports collective learning related to working on and with the land. We communicate our findings through articles, blogs, podcasts, reports, events, and more - building a shared evidence base to support the development of a just land system. Through our research, we seek to make an impact at a local and a systemic level. We want to create conditions that allow people and communities to thrive, and promote care for the land and environment. We do this work on both a commercial and grant funded basis.
The role holder will lead the full range of Shared Assets’ research projects, from scoping and design through to delivery, follow up and evaluation. They will need to have experience of designing and carrying out research and learning activities with a wide range of partners - including academics, community groups, NGOS and local authorities - in collaborative ways. In the past we have worked on research projects of many scales - from large European Union funded consortia, to smaller, one-off pieces which help a local authority or community organisation move forward with their work. Often our research work involves collaborating with a group of other civil society organisations to provide evidence of why change in the land, food and farming system is needed, and generate action on these issues.
The main areas of work are to: manage and deliver funded research projects (or projects with a research component) with partners, reflect with colleagues on what we are learning within and across workstreams as an organisation and sector, use this knowledge to create new ideas for research work, and support fundraising for these, as part of our ‘infrastructure’ role.

St Martin-in-the-Fields Trust exists to ensure the extraordinary work of St Martin-in-the-Fields can flourish today and for generations to come. For over 30 years, the Trust has brought together people who believe in the power of this remarkable place, where history, culture, faith and social action meet.
We raise funds and steward donations to support St Martin’s in four key areas: conserving its historic buildings; sustaining its world-class music programme; expanding opportunities for education and creativity; and enabling the church’s mission, ministry, and outreach to people experiencing homelessness and vulnerability.
Fundraising is at the heart of what we do. Every gift entrusted to us helps St Martin’s remain open, welcoming, and transformative, a beacon of compassion, creativity, and community at the heart of London and far beyond.
