Are you someone who loves connecting with people, building relationships and inspiring others to achieve their potential? Do you want a role where you can see the difference you make every single day? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

At The King's Trust, we're passionate about helping young people gain the confidence, skills and opportunities they need to succeed. We're looking for an enthusiastic and proactive people-person to help us connect more young people with our life-changing programmes.

In this exciting and varied role, you'll be out and about building relationships with schools, community organisations, referral partners and local networks, helping young people discover opportunities that could change their future. You'll create engaging recruitment activities, deliver inspiring presentations and events, and encourage young people to take that important first step towards achieving their goals.

You'll support young people throughout their journey with us, helping them overcome challenges, access the right support and stay motivated as they work towards positive outcomes. Whether it's a one-to-one conversation, a group session or connecting them with the right opportunity, you'll play a key role in helping them succeed.

You'll also work closely with our amazing delivery partners and volunteers, providing guidance, training and support to help them deliver outstanding experiences for young people. From celebrating success stories to sharing best practice and organising events, you'll help bring our programmes to life.

No two days are the same. One day you might be delivering a session to young people, the next attending a partner event, supporting volunteers, or helping to showcase the incredible impact of our work.

We're looking for someone with great communication skills, plenty of initiative and a genuine passion for helping young people thrive. If you're energetic, organised, love working with people and want a role with real purpose, we'd love to hear from you.

Do you love building relationships, bringing people together and helping young people thrive? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

At The King’s Trust, we believe every young person should have the chance to succeed. In this role, you'll play a key part in making that happen by supporting the incredible partners and volunteers who help bring our programmes to life.

No two days are quite the same, as one day you could be welcoming and training a new delivery partner, the next you might be visiting a school, supporting a volunteer event, solving a tricky challenge, or celebrating the achievements of young people who have grown in confidence and realised what they're capable of.

You'll be the friendly face and trusted contact for our education delivery partners across Wrexham and the surrounding areas, helping them deliver our Achieve programme with confidence and impact. From providing training and resources to sharing best practice and offering guidance, you'll ensure our partners have everything they need to create outstanding experiences for young people.

You'll also be a support for our volunteers. Whether you're helping someone find the perfect opportunity, supporting them throughout their volunteering journey, or ensuring they have the training and resources they need, you'll play a big part in creating an exceptional volunteer experience. After all, great volunteers can change lives, and you'll help make those connections happen.

Of course, every role comes with a bit of admin! You'll keep records accurate and up to date, track activity through our CRM systems, and make sure we're meeting funding, safeguarding and compliance requirements. Your attention to detail will help ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, allowing our programmes to shine.

We're also looking for someone who enjoys bringing people together. You might facilitate networking sessions, encourage the sharing of ideas and best practice, help organise celebrations and end-of-programme events, or occasionally step in to support the delivery of sessions with young people.

We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive and full of initiative, with excellent communication and relationship-building skills. You'll enjoy working with a wide range of people, from teachers and delivery partners to volunteers and young people themselves. An understanding of the education sector would be helpful, but most importantly, you'll be passionate about supporting others and making a difference.

If you're someone who can juggle priorities, solve problems with a smile, build strong relationships and keep things moving forward (even when the unexpected pops up), then this could be the perfect role for you.

Join us and help create opportunities, build confidence and support young people to achieve their potential. Every conversation, connection and partnership you build could be the start of a life-changing journey.
