About the role
As the Fundraising Event Coordinator, you will be responsible for providing co-ordination and support to the Fundraising Event Manager. You will be joining at an exciting time as we have a growing event portfolio and will have the opportunity to join us as we refresh our challenge and community event fundraising offer.
This role is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to start or transfer their career to the events and fundraising sector, motivated by ensuring young people in the UK are equipped to thrive. We are looking for a team player who thrives in a busy and dynamic team, spotting opportunities for improvements and efficiencies as well as providing valuable event support.
Who we are
UK Youth is a leading charity that is unlocking youth work for all young people.
We bring together young people and youth workers with business leaders, teachers, social workers, doctors, policy makers and other professionals to learn, spread effective ways to support young people, and campaign for social change.
Only by working together can we tackle the systemic problems that keep letting our young people down.
Why work at UK Youth?
UK Youth wants all young people to be equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives. Youth work can be life changing (and even life saving.) We have developed a strategy to unlock youth work so that every young person in the UK can benefit. We work with others to ensure that the youth sector is strengthened and that provision is youth-led, evidence-informed, and delivers high-quality outcomes.
UK Youth plays a unique role in addressing the lack of investment in the youth sector, the lack of cross-sector understanding in how youth work makes a difference, and the limited opportunities to embed effective solutions. These factors lead to mass inequality of access to youth services for young people. Come and be part of this change.
What we can offer you
We offer a competitive range of benefits, good work/life balance, excellent learning and development opportunities and vibrant organisational culture.
-
Flexible/Agile Working
-

So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.
