Administrator and engagement officer jobs

GoodWork is a youth employment and social mobility charity, creating fairer opportunities for young people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Founded in 2022, we’re a fast-growing organisation with real impact and big ambitions to drive systemic change for the community we serve. 

What we're looking for

We’re looking for a Programme Officer to join our team to support and manage the delivery of our programmes. You’ll report to our Senior Programme Officer and work closely with our programmes team to coordinate and deliver high-quality employability programmes, manage volunteers, and support our young people. This role is an opportunity to add both delivery capacity and complementary expertise to our team as we grow.

In the role, you’ll be working on:

• Programme Management.
  • Once you’ve learned the ropes, you’ll move on to end-to-end management of programme delivery. This includes workshop development, supporting programme recruitment, operations and logistics, and working closely with volunteers and partners to ensure that programme delivery is impactful.
  • You’ll start by supporting existing programmes team members and, over time, take on responsibility for leading on cohorts, while supporting colleagues with delivery across our programmes.
  • You’ll need to be able to combine strong delivery with solid preparation behind the scenes, while thinking carefully about both participant experience and the operational detail needed to deliver high-quality programme activities.
  • You’ll also help collect and interpret data, reflect on feedback, and contribute to improving our programmes over time.
• Volunteer Management.
  • You’ll help recruit, onboard, and support our volunteers, ensuring timely communication and a positive experience for the assessors, mentors, and facilitators who work with us.
  • You’ll help create a positive and engaging volunteer experience by building strong relationships with our volunteers through regular check-ins, community touch-points, and thoughtful communication.
  • You’ll also support the coordination and administration involved in volunteer management, helping volunteers understand what’s needed and ensuring things run smoothly behind the scenes.
• Stakeholder Engagement.
  • Your role will include stakeholder engagement at all levels, from scheduling volunteering days with corporate partners, to checking in with employer partners about how our young people are doing on their placements and supporting youth engagement and outreach.
• Support to Young People.
  • A large part of your role is to provide direct support to young people through regular 1:1 check-ins, taking the time to get to know them and their goals so that you can signpost tailored support, opportunities, and resources.
  • You’ll also use tools like email and Slack to keep young people informed, share opportunities and resources, and help build a sense of community throughout their time on the programme.
  • You don’t need previous experience of helping young people navigate the jobs market, as we can support you to build your knowledge and understanding of best practice.
• Facilitation.
  • You’ll design and deliver training for the young people on our programmes, as well as information sessions and training for our corporate partners and volunteers.
  • We’re looking for someone who is confident facilitating sessions, or motivated to continue developing their facilitation skills, with support from the team.

Like any growing charity, our work is constantly evolving and this is a great opportunity to be part of shaping our organisation for the future. We’ll encourage you to share your feedback and suggestions regularly.

What we're looking for

We’re not necessarily looking for one particular professional background, and you don’t need to have a degree. However, we’d be especially interested in candidates who can bring relevant experience or strengths in areas that deepen our team’s existing offer, such as community outreach, volunteer management, programme management, or monitoring and evaluation.

This is not an entry-level role, and we are looking for someone who can bring some professional experience and apply sound judgement in a fast-moving environment.

• Organisation, proactivity and adaptability.
  • We’re looking for someone with strong coordination and organisational skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to work proactively.
  • You’ll need to be comfortable managing multiple priorities at once, adapting as things change, and delivering to a high standard in a fast-paced environment.
• Problem solving.
  • We’re looking for someone who can think creatively, solve problems, and respond positively when things don’t go to plan.
• Communication and facilitation.
  • You’ll communicate with everyone from young people to corporate partners, so you’ll need strong written and verbal communication skills. As this role will involve providing feedback on CVs, job applications, and cover letters, strong written English and attention to detail are important.
  • You should be comfortable facilitating sessions or feel motivated to build your confidence in this area.
• Relationship building.
  • We’re looking for someone who is comfortable building relationships with a wide range of people (including partners and volunteers) and representing the organisation in a warm and professional way.
  • We’d particularly value someone who can bring confidence or experience in external relationship-building and community outreach.
  • Many of the young people we work with have experienced substantial barriers to work, education, or other areas of their lives. We’re looking for someone who can build trusting relationships with young people and who approaches others with empathy, warmth, and good judgement.
• Resilience and a growth mindset.
  • Adaptability and perseverance are crucial to the success of the young people on our programme, and it’s important that our team models these behaviours too.
  • We need someone who can operate well in uncertainty, learn as they go, and stay motivated through challenges.
• Commitment to our mission.
  • You don’t need experience in the early careers, youth, or education sector. However, we do expect the successful candidate to show a clear understanding of and commitment to our mission, and a genuine desire to help drive our work forward.

We work with a diverse group of young people from underserved communities. We particularly encourage applications from minoritised ethnic candidates and those who have lived experience relevant to our programme, particularly non-graduates and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

GoodWork is a youth employment and social mobility charity, creating fairer opportunities for young people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. This is an exciting opportunity to join GoodWork at a pivotal moment in our growth. Founded in 2022, we’re a fast-growing organisation with real impact and big ambitions to drive systemic change for the community we serve. 

About the role 

This is a key strategic hire for GoodWork. As our Operations Manager, you'll play a central role in how the organisation runs, grows and delivers impact. Reporting directly to our CEO and joining our Leadership Team, you'll bring structure, pace and clarity across GoodWork, helping turn our strategy into effective day-to-day delivery.

You'll be the only person at GoodWork dedicated full-time to operations - plugged in to what's happening across every team, helping the CEO, trustees and staff connect the dots and making sure GoodWork runs coherently and efficiently. This is a broad, stretching role, but as we’re a small organisation, a lot of the job is rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into the work yourself, and we're looking for someone who finds real satisfaction in both the bigger picture and the detail.

You'll have real ownership and influence across the organisation, including:

• Keeping GoodWork running brilliantly day to day, creating the conditions for our team, volunteers and young people to do their best work
• Leading core business operations across finance, planning, reporting and controls, working closely with our CEO, Treasurer and external accountants
• Helping shape how we work as a growing organisation, from people processes and onboarding to policies, culture and staff wellbeing
• Strengthening governance, risk and compliance - including Charity Commission and data protection requirements - and supporting the CEO and Chair to ensure the Board has the information, structure and assurance it needs
• Improving the systems, tools and ways of working that help GoodWork operate efficiently and professionally as we scale
• Driving cross-organisational projects and priorities, helping unblock issues, connect teams and make sure important work moves forward
• Contributing as a member of the Leadership Team to organisational strategy, annual planning and key decisions about GoodWork's next stage of growth
• Growing, over time, into a guardian of GoodWork's team culture as well as our operations - going beyond process and systems to help shape how it feels to work here

We’re a small team, which means we need everyone to pick up some admin. For this role, this will include managing our Shared Mailbox, processing DBS checks and keeping the office well stocked and organised. As GoodWork grows, we expect this role - and the wider operations function - to grow and evolve too, including the potential to build a small team around you in time.

As our first Operations Manager, you'll be building this function from the ground up. We'll work with you to prioritise what matters most, but we'll also expect you to bring initiative, judgement and high standards from the start.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who's excited by the chance to help build the operational engine of a growing, ambitious charity - someone who enjoys making organisations work better, brings structure, judgement and pace, holds a high bar for quality and follow-through, and is willing to roll up their sleeves to get things done.

You'll need to be a self-starter with a proactive, hands-on attitude who wants to get stuck in and solve problems as they arise. You don't need to have experience solving every issue that comes up, but you should be a generalist at heart, comfortable with uncertainty and learning as you go. A growth mindset is essential.

• Significant, hands-on operations experience in a small or growing organisation, ideally with exposure across finance, people, governance, systems and organisational planning
• The ability to take ownership of a broad brief, bring order to complexity and turn ideas into clear priorities, strong processes and tangible progress
• Good commercial and financial judgement, comfortable working with budgets, reporting, data and digital tools
• Excellent organisational and communication skills, including the tact, discretion and attention to detail needed to work with sensitive information, senior stakeholders and Board-level engagement
• A proactive, resilient and resourceful approach, with the maturity to be the operations lead in a small, fast-moving team
• A fast learner, able to build knowledge quickly, solve problems and move easily between strategic priorities and practical delivery

Just as important as your experience will be how you work. We're looking for someone who's motivated by mission, energised by growth and comfortable playing a visible, trusted role at the heart of the organisation. You won't need experience in the early careers, youth or education sector, but you will need to connect with GoodWork's purpose and show real commitment to helping us increase opportunity for young people from underserved communities.

We work with a diverse group of young people from underserved communities. We particularly encourage applications from minoritised ethnic candidates and those who have lived experience relevant to our programme, particularly non-graduates and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
