The Advocacy Academy is an activist youth movement. We serve as the political home for grassroots youth organising and the catalyst for collective action. The lives of the young people we work alongside have been directly shaped by living in an unjust world, and we exist to turn their anger into action.

Young people are often the catalysts for major social change, from the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, to the Soweto Uprising mobilising young people to resist the apartheid regime's education policies, to the Sunrise Movement redrawing the electoral map across America, and more recently encampments and protests across the world protesting the genocide in Palestine. How successfully they achieve real and lasting change depends on whether they are organised and whether they have the right strategy and tactics to be effective. 

We want youth organising to be enshrined in the UK for generations to come, and for young people to have tangible political power to influence national policy. That’s why we have launched two national coalitions, one around climate, and the other around gender. Each will train organisations across the country to become youth organisers and work together to bring 100 young people together to identify the strategy and tactics needed to achieve change. These young leaders will organise others and work collectively to build a campaign which shakes the status quo.

We are looking for a Senior Lead Climate Coalition who believes in this vision and is capable of building the leadership in youth workers and young people alike that enables them to turn the resources they have into the power they need to make the change they want.

Before you skim the job description, please remember you don’t have to tick all the boxes for each role to apply. Charity experience is not a requirement! We all experience a bit of imposter syndrome, including the staff here at The Advocacy Academy. Let’s name it for what it is - a manifestation of the oppression many of us face on a day to day. If this role pulls you and you believe you could make a difference, then apply anyway or reach out to us to discuss more!

About Us

Make a big impact with a dynamic small charity transforming young people’s lives London.

Construction Youth Trust is an ambitious and innovative charity whose mission to inspire and enable young people to overcome barriers and achieve their full career potential. Social mobility is at the heart of our work, and we prioritise working with young people from low-income backgrounds and those who are facing significant barriers to employment.

We help young people recognise their potential, develop their confidence and skills and discover career opportunities never previously presented to them. Through our long-standing partnerships with employers in the construction and built environment sector (over 200+ across London), we connect young people to relatable role models, world of work experiences and ultimately rewarding jobs and apprenticeships. The built environment is at the forefront of the drive towards achieving net zero and future economic growth, offering young people substantial opportunity for career progression.

At the Trust, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We are looking for candidates who share our dedication to this commitment. All roles involve safer recruitment practices therefore an Enhanced Disclosure with Barred List check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) will be carried out.

· 25 days annual leave per year which increases by a day each year after 2 years’ service up to a maximum annual leave entitlement of 30 days per year
