Job description

Youth Engagement Executive

Help create experiences that make a real difference to young people living with and beyond cancer.

 

About Teens Unite

Teens Unite is an energetic, ambitious and fast-growing charity dedicated to improving the lives of 13-24-year-olds living with, and beyond, cancer. We empower young people to live positively with cancer and thrive beyond a diagnosis through activities, programmes and residential experiences that help build confidence, skills and lasting friendships.

This is an exciting time to join the team. We're responding to a 45% increase in young people accessing our support and working towards opening England's first retreat dedicated to teenagers and young adults impacted by cancer. 

 

About the role

We’re looking for a creative, enthusiastic and proactive Youth Engagement Executive to join our Beneficiary Services Team.

This is a varied, hands-on role for someone who loves coming up with ideas, building relationships and making things happen. You’ll play a key role in planning and delivering our annual programme of more than 80 in-person and digital activities, with a particular focus on our Be Uplifted pillar of support.

From art, fashion and cooking to wellbeing workshops, confidence-building experiences and exclusive opportunities with some of the UK's biggest brands, you’ll help create experiences that young people genuinely want to be part of.

You’ll work closely with young people and their families and take ownership of activities from the initial idea through to delivery and evaluation.

Most importantly, you’ll help create opportunities for young people to feel connected, confident and able to make the most of life beyond cancer.

 

Key responsibilities

  • Welcome and onboard new young people and support them to engage with Teens Unite.
  • Build positive relationships with young people and their families.
  • Lead our Be Creative programme, delivering inspiring creative opportunities and experiences.
  • Lead our Be Uplifted programme, focused on wellbeing, confidence and positive mental health.
  • Develop exciting partnerships with brands and organisations to create memorable opportunities.
  • Plan, coordinate and deliver engaging in-person and digital activities.
  • Promote opportunities through newsletters, social media and direct communication.
  • Deliver hospital visits and raise awareness of Teens Unite's support.
  • Champion inclusion and accessibility across all activities.
  • Gather feedback and measure impact to continuously improve our services. 

 

Ready to make a difference?

If you're creative, organised, full of ideas and excited by the opportunity to help young people make the most of life beyond cancer, we'd love to hear from you.

Come and be part of what we're building at Teens Unite.
