XLP is a youth work charity working to create positive futures for young people and at the cutting edge of tackling poverty and educational failure in inner London. We deliver holistic, long-term work with young people aged 11 to 25 in schools and communities.

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic leadership team delivering a large variety of youth work projects across nine boroughs in London. Your role will provide effective and visionary leadership and strategic direction for our growing Youth Work team, currently made up of 45 youth workers and 5 apprentices, helping to create a team and culture that listens to young people's voices and is committed to continuous learning and development. As a charity that has grown from £2m to £3m in recent years, this is a significant time for XLP as we look to professionalise our offer, and press into impact, line management, accountability and safeguarding.

You will lead on the processes, system and culture changes we require as a growing charity to ensure all activities are safe, carried out to an excellent standard and meet the budgetary and contractual requirements of the organisation.

The Director of Youth Work will sit on the Executive Team, working in close collaboration with the CEO, Directors of People & Operations and Fundraising & Comms, and Deputy Director of Youth Work, to ensure XLP’s overall strategic objectives and desired outcomes are met.
