Job description

You will be at the forefront of our mission, helping to change the narrative about young people who experience homelessness in the UK. 

You should have experience of securing press coverage and be comfortable delivering engaging and relevant stories for the media. 

You will be at the forefront of building EveryYouth's youth engagement function which aims to give marginalised young people a voice to share their experience and stories. Alongside this work you will maintain and uphold strict safeguarding and GDPR practises. 

You will work with a team to maintain EveryYouth's website and newsletter and oversee EveryYouth's social media content and delivery. 

Finally, you will think strategically about the direction EveryYouth is taking with our external communications, and measure and evaluate our work against agreed KPI's. 

We are looking for someone who is ambitious for the future of every young person, and who relishes the challenge of presenting marginalised young people in a positive, uplifting way, going against the longstanding norms. You should have an incredible eye for detail and enjoy working with a small, but highly collaborative team.

EveryYouth prides itself on ‘doing charity differently’ and you’ll be excited about the opportunity to join a new charity with a start-up mentality where your ideas can help shape the future of the organisation.

If you're looking for a role where your skills, passion, and dedication will come together to create a brighter future for young people, we encourage you to apply. Join us at EveryYouth and be a part of something truly extraordinary – together, we can help Every Youth reach their full potential.
