Job description

This is an exciting new opportunity to help empower young people aged 8–16 to take action, build confidence and develop new skills through our youth-led programmes in schools.

The Programmes Executive will play a key role in supporting our community of primary and secondary schools throughout the school year. You will help design and deliver Bite Back in Schools, ensuring a positive and engaging experience for young people, their teachers and their schools whilst making sure the programme achieves meaningful impact.

Alongside day-to-day programme delivery, you will contribute to a range of initiatives across the organisation, including supporting an exciting collaboration with the School Food Project and helping to coordinate and support wider organisational events such as our youth residentials.

This role would suit someone who enjoys working with young people, is proactive and adaptable, and is ready to learn and grow at a leading youth-led health charity. You’ll be motivated by helping young people turn their ideas into action and seeing the difference that makes in schools and beyond.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Programme delivery 

  • Schedule and organise visits to schools, agreeing agendas with the schools in advance to include meeting pupils and teachers, leading feedback sessions and focus groups and supporting the development of their social action campaigns. 

  • Schedule and deliver assemblies with primary and secondary schools participating in the programme, coordinating with our Bite Back ambassadors.

  • Support the School Ambassadors with travel logistics as they deliver assemblies in schools across England and Scotland.

  • Deliver training and webinars for schools where necessary. 

  • Maintain and regularly update programme management software and associated data to ensure accurate and up to date information for all participating primary schools.

  • Ensure successful end-to-end support for the 5+ primary schools participating in the programme throughout the 26/27 school year.

  • Celebrate and share examples of best practice and impactful social action projects amongst our community of schools. 

Relationship management 

  • Provide ongoing support to both primary and secondary schools throughout their time on the programme, building strong working relationships with participating schools. 

  • Support communication with all primary schools, providing a point of contact for the coordinator and lead teacher in each school. 

  • Support monitoring and evaluation through creation of surveys, ensuring completion of baseline and end of year surveys, and analysis of data submitted (working with our Impact & Evaluation Manager).

  • Provide timely responses to school queries and alert the Programmes Manager of any potential risks.

  • Proactively seek feedback from teachers and young people on our programmes.

  • Ensure opportunities for schools to engage in at least two one-on-one meetings with our team during the school year. 

  • Build productive relationships with programme partners.

Project support 

  • Help coordinate our relationship with our partners in The School Food Project, including Chefs in Schools, School Food Matters, Food Foundation & Jamie Oliver’s Group.

  • Support the national rollout of the Bite Back in Schools Primary programme, translating insights and evidence from two successful pilot programmes into engaging assemblies and high-quality resources that drive effective programme delivery and impact.

  • Provide support to Programme Manager in the delivery of projects, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget and scope.

  • Provide ad hoc input to evolving organisational requirements as directed by senior team members.

Event support 

  • Support the planning, coordination and delivery of Bite Back events throughout the year, including travelling as required to meet the operational needs of the Youth teams.

  • Coordinate the logistical arrangements for youth residential events, including travel, accommodation and other practical requirements.

  • Contribute to event planning and preparation, including resource ordering, coordination and ensuring all materials are organised and available in advance.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

The ideal candidate would have the following:

Essential

  • Ability to build and maintain strong working relationships with a broad range of stakeholders at the individual level and in representation of the organisation.

  • Strong organisational and project management skills, with excellent time management, ability to manage competing priorities and attention to detail.

  • A willingness to build relationships across sectors, with young people and adults.

  • Experience of creating resources which are engaging for young people.

  • Confident public speaker or willingness to learn.

  • Ability to travel across England and Scotland when required (occasional).

  • Experience of working with CRM systems.

  • Strong understanding of the education sector and experience of working with schools and teachers.
