Youth worker jobs

Youth Programmes Officer 

Hours: 35 hours per week 

Reporting to: Youth Programmes Manager 

About us 

The Ben Kinsella Trust is one of the UK’s leading anti-knife crime charities. We were set up following the tragic murder of 16-year-old Ben Kinsella in 2008, and everything we do is guided by his legacy. Our mission is to prevent knife crime through education and campaigning. 

Ben was a kind, creative young person who loved art, music, Arsenal FC, and making people laugh. He had big dreams of becoming a graphic designer. His death was a senseless act of violence, and the outpouring of grief and public support that followed marked the start of a movement. Ben’s own words, written shortly before his death, called for change, and his voice continues to inspire our work.  

Through immersive workshops in our Choices and Consequences Exhibitions and free online resources, we have reached over 50,000 young people so far. Our work challenges myths about knife crime, strengthens peer influence, and sparks meaningful conversations. As we grow, we remain committed to honouring Ben’s life by making a real, lasting difference to young people across the UK.

Working closely with the Youth Engagement Manager, you will support the delivery and growth of our youth engagement offer for young people aged 14-25 with experience of social work and children’s services.

This role has been created to support the expansion of our youth engagement work to include young people aged 14-17. While our existing Young People Advisory Board provides valuable retrospective insight from young adults, engaging younger people will help ensure Frontline benefits from the perspectives of those currently experiencing children’s social care services. Their experiences will help us maintain the relevance of our training, strengthen our understanding of the challenges facing young people today, and inform our policy and practice influence.

You will help create safe, inclusive and meaningful opportunities for young people to share their experiences and insights, ensuring these inform social work education,practice, policy and organisational learning.

Working across Frontline and with external partners, you will support participation activities that amplify young people’s voices and contribute to positive systems change for children and families.

Whether facilitating engagement opportunities, supporting the Young People Advisory Board, developing relationships with partners, or capturing learning and impact, you will bring strong organisational skills, sound judgement and a commitment to youth-centred practice to deliver high-quality outcomes for young people and the organisation.

We are looking for someone with:

• Direct experience working with young people aged 14-25, ideally with knowledge of care and social work systems
• The ability to plan and deliver engagement activities that are safe, inclusive and youth-led
• Good safeguarding awareness and confidence handling wellbeing concerns appropriately
• Strong communication skills, comfortable building relationships across teams and managing a varied workload.

Please see the job pack for a full list of responsibilities.

A little bit about you 

We are looking for someone with hands-on experience working with young people aged 14-25 and a track record of building trusted relationships with them. You will understand the issues facing care and social work experienced young people, along with the policy landscape shaping children’s social care. You will have practical experience running engagement and facilitation activities, and ideally some familiarity with co-production and youth-led approaches. Background in the social care or youth sector is important, along with solid safeguarding knowledge, and any experience reporting to funders would be a plus.

We have a fast-moving culture within the team and organisation, so we’re looking for someone who is who is well organised, details-focused and can use their initiative to do what works. You will have excellent communication skills, be able to build relationships with people and be willing to learn. There are lots of opportunities for growth and development in this role – and for the right candidate to make the role their own. 

If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you. 

Important information

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater global majority representation in our senior roles. We know the value global majority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities.

We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.

We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can!

This role is ineligible for sponsorship and so all applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
