Community Engagement Coordinator

Thank you for considering working with us at LTSB.

It is an exciting time to join the charity as we embark on a new five year strategy. If you are passionate about Social Mobility and motivated by supporting young people living in some of the UK’s most deprived areas, this could be the charity for you!

This is a new role for LTSB, and an exciting opportunity to shape the way our young people engage with our work from first contact through to alumni retention.

Working closely with the Communications Manager, the successful candidate will lead on our online presence to engage new and existing audiences through advertising and social media, ensuring a strong pipeline of applicants for our programmes. You’ll manage relationships with youth recruitment platforms (i.e. Not Going To Uni and Rate My Apprenticeship) and you’ll be responsible for collecting and analysing the relevant data.

You will also establish and manage our Youth Board and so experience of direct youth work would be an advantage, but an enthusiastic, creative approach to the task of creating the LTSB community is essential!

LTSB’s vision is A world where all young people can choose their careers, with an emphasis on improving the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The successful candidate will have a proven commitment to improving the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and an excellent understanding of social mobility, diversity and inclusion issues.

LTSB does not have its own offices, so you will work remotely, but this role has regular in-person expectations at partner organisations and corporate supporters, as well as occasion travel to our city hubs Birmingham, Liverpool, London, and Manchester. This position will require DBS Disclosure at enhanced level.

The application process for Community Engagement Coordinator has two stages:

• The first round will be a remote interview held over Zoom.
• For the second round, you will be asked to complete a task and present at a panel interview, held in person.

To apply, submit a CV and a personal statement of no more than two pages outlining how you fit the person specifications, and why you feel you can contribute to LTSB’s work.

Please apply by 5pm, Wednesday 3rd April. The first round of interviews will take place in week commencing 8th April.

If you are interested in discussing the role or the charity in advance of applying, please contact Cat Wyard, Communications Manager on cat @ ltsb.charity

Good luck!

CEO, LTSB
