‘Putting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion into Practice’

Help shape a youth-led movement in Downham. Join Circle Collective as our Youth Involvement Lead and work directly with young people to turn their ideas into action, influence real decisions, and open pathways into employment.

At Circle Collective, we believe young people are experts in their own lives. As a London-based youth employment charity, we work alongside communities, partners, and employers to break down barriers and create meaningful opportunities for young people to thrive.

This role sits at the heart of Elevate 100, a vibrant, youth-designed space based in Downham Leisure Centre. Here, young people aged 16–30 access employment support, develop skills, and build confidence in a welcoming, inclusive environment. More than just a service, Elevate 100 is a platform for youth voice, co-production, and real influence.

As Youth Involvement Lead, you’ll be the key link between young people and the project. You’ll coordinate and support the Youth Action Board, helping young people shape decisions, manage budgets, and influence how services are delivered. You’ll facilitate engaging sessions, build trusted relationships, and ensure every young person feels heard, valued, and empowered.

Alongside this, you’ll mentor a small group of young people, supporting them to identify their goals and take steps towards employment, education, or training. You’ll also work closely with partners including Lewisham Council and Phoenix Community Housing, contributing youth insight to strengthen delivery and ensure services truly reflect local needs.

This is a hands-on, people-focused role for someone who is passionate about youth voice, confident facilitating groups, and committed to creating inclusive spaces where young people can grow and lead.

If you’re motivated by social impact and want to help build something genuinely youth-led, we’d love to hear from you.
