Job description

Do you believe every young person deserves the chance to dream big about their future? At MyBigCareer, that belief drives everything we do.

We're a small but mighty charity supporting young people aged 11–18 from underserved communities across London and the North East, helping them build the knowledge, confidence and connections to thrive in the world of work. Since 2013 we've supported over 20,000 young people through personalised careers guidance, coaching and employability programmes, working alongside schools, corporate partners and a network of more than 300 inspirational volunteers.

The role

This is a dual-focus role sitting right at the heart of how we deliver our impact. You'll lead our volunteer programme nationally; recruiting, training and supporting the coaches and volunteers who deliver our programmes, while also overseeing programme delivery across our London partner schools.

On the volunteer side, you'll manage the full volunteer journey from recruitment and DBS checks through to training, engagement and retention, and act as our organisation's DBS Lead. On the delivery side, you'll coordinate and deliver MyBigCareer programmes in London, acting as a key relationship holder for school partners and ensuring young people receive consistently high-quality careers guidance and employability support.

This is a hands-on role for someone equally comfortable with strategic coordination and direct delivery, who thrives in a close-knit, values-led small team.

About you

You'll bring experience in volunteer management, programme coordination or a similar role, ideally in the charity or education sector. You'll be a confident communicator, a natural relationship builder, and someone who cares deeply about equity and social mobility.

Essential experience and skills include:

  • Experience managing or coordinating volunteers, ideally in a charity, education or community setting
  • Experience coordinating or delivering programmes or projects with multiple stakeholders
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
  • Confidence delivering workshops, training or presentations to groups
  • Sound understanding of safeguarding principles
  • Competent with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace and CRM systems

Desirable:

  • Experience in or with schools or education settings
  • Experience as or supporting a DBS Lead
  • Knowledge of or connections to London communities
  • Lived experience of the inequalities faced by the young people we support

Our values

Compassion First. Dream Big. Empower Others. Act with Purpose. It's really important to us that whoever joins us lives and works by these values and is at their best working collaboratively in a small, mission-driven team.

The details

  • Salary: £30,000–£32,500 FTE (pro rata for part time)
  • Permanent contract, full time (37hrs) or part time (minimum 30hrs) considered
  • Hybrid; home-based with at least weekly travel to London and occasional UK travel
  • 27 days annual leave + bank holidays + Christmas closure
  • Target start date: August 2026
  • Enhanced DBS check required

We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of the inequalities faced by the young people we support, and from those with existing knowledge of or connections to London communities.

Closing date: 13th May 2026 1st round interviews: w/c 1st June | 2nd round: w/c 8th June
