Job description

Keeping Young People Safe:

At Young Enterprise, safeguarding is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults. All successful applicants will receive ongoing safeguarding training throughout their employment and be expected to uphold excellent safeguarding practice at all times.

Are you passionate about helping young people build brighter futures?

Are you curious about policy and public affairs and motivated by creating real-world change? If so, we’ve got a brilliant opportunity for you to join our team as our Policy and Public Affairs Officer at Young Enterprise.

Who We Are

We’re Young Enterprise – a national charity with a bold mission: to give every young person the skills, confidence, and mindset to thrive in the changing world of work.

For over 60 years, we’ve empowered more than 7 million young people through hands-on enterprise and financial education programmes. Whether it’s launching a student business or learning how to manage money, we help young people develop key life skills—teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and resilience.

We’re a passionate, down-to-earth team of 90+ staff and 2,000+ volunteers who believe that every young person, regardless of background, deserves a fair start in life.

Why Join Us?

We think Young Enterprise is a great place to work—and we’re proud of our people-first culture. Here’s what you can expect:

  • A friendly and supportive team where your voice is heard
  • A strong commitment to diversity and inclusion—we want everyone to feel they belong
  • Generous holiday allowance and flexible working
  • Cycle-to-work scheme, life assurance, and NHS top-up plan
  • Ongoing learning and mentoring opportunities
  • A chance to directly impact the lives of young people every single day

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join Young Enterprise at a key moment of growth and ambition for our policy and public affairs work. As Policy and Public Affairs Officer, you’ll help shape how we champion the voices and experiences of young people, ensuring their needs are reflected in decisions about education, skills and financial capability. Working closely with the Policy Lead and colleagues across the organisation, you’ll support the development of evidence-informed policy positions and contribute to impactful influencing and engagement activity.

This role is ideal for someone who is curious about how policy is made, enjoys working with ideas and evidence, and is motivated by the chance to create real-world change for young people. You’ll gain hands-on experience across research, stakeholder engagement, campaigns and parliamentary activity, in a fast-paced and supportive environment that values learning and collaboration.

If you’re passionate about social impact, enjoy writing and organising, and want to build a career in policy, public affairs or the charity sector, this role offers a fantastic platform to develop your skills while making a meaningful difference.

You’ll love this job if you are…

  • Passionate about improving opportunities and outcomes for young people.
  • Curious about policy, politics and public affairs, and keen to learn how change happens.
  • A clear and confident writer who enjoys turning research and evidence into compelling messages.
  • Organised, proactive and comfortable juggling multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.
  • Enjoy designing, organising and supporting engaging events for a range of audiences.
  • Motivated by working collaboratively with a wide range of colleagues and external stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Monitor developments in education, skills and related policy areas, identifying what they mean for young people and Young Enterprise’s work.
  • Support the development of Young Enterprise’s policy positions through research, analysis and evidence gathering.
  • Help plan and deliver public affairs and stakeholder engagement activities, including events, parliamentary briefings and meetings.
  • Contribute to campaigns that aim to influence policy and raise the profile of issues affecting young people.
  • Draft high-quality written outputs such as consultation responses, meeting notes, articles and social media content.
  • Support policy networks and relationships, including Secretariat support for the APPG for Financial Education for Young People.
  • Work closely with colleagues across programmes, research, communications and fundraising to align policy priorities and messaging.
  • Coordinate the practical organisation of policy events, meetings and stakeholder communications. 

A few practical things

  • This is a hybrid role, with a minimum requirement to work from our London office in Brunswick Square at least 8 days per month.
  • The role involves regular travel to Westminster for meetings and events, and occasional travel to other parts of the UK.
  • Occasional evening and weekend work will be required for events, with time off in lieu provided.
  • There are no specific physical or manual handling requirements associated with this role.
