Job description

ROLE SUMMARY

This post holder will be a key member of our delivery team working across a portfolio of our inspiring projects and programmes that support young people to develop their skills, empower their potential and influence change.

We are looking for a fun and enthusiastic individual with excellent communication and time management skills, and someone with an understanding of the issues facing young people and how these can be addressed through our programmes.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

  • Delivering engaging sessions, workshops, and events for young people, both in-person and occasionally online.
  • Travelling to programme venues across Greater Manchester (reasonable travel expenses reimbursed).
  • Supporting young people to develop skills and confidence, and helping them create projects that make a difference in their communities.
  • Building and maintaining positive relationships with young people, promoting active participation.
  • Working with the Youth Leads UK team to plan, prepare, and deliver activities.
  • Bringing new ideas to strengthen our programmes and youth engagement work.
  • Being part of the team that represents Youth Leads UK at conferences and events, including volunteer and career fairs.
  • Keep up to date on new developments and trends within the youth sector

Essential Knowledge and Skills:

  • Experience working with young people in group or individual settings — this could include volunteering, mentoring, or supporting peers through school, college, or community projects.
  • Strong communication skills (oral, written, and presentational).
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.
  • Excellent team player who works well collaboratively.
  • Understanding of inclusion and the differing needs of young people from a range of backgrounds and experiences.

Desirable Knowledge and skills:

  • Confident IT and social media user (e.g. Canva, Zoom, TikTok, Instagram).
  • Understanding of community engagement, volunteering, or social action.
  • Awareness of safeguarding and child protection (training provided).
  • Awareness of issues affecting young people (e.g. education, wellbeing, employment).

DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSION

Everyone at Youth Leads UK is passionate about diversity, equality and inclusion. Our Trustees, staff and the young people we support are diverse in many different ways, and we want to continue representing the community we serve.

We therefore welcome and encourage applications from people who identify as BAME or have any additional needs or disabilities. We also encourage individuals who have benefited from our programmes to apply.

We encourage applications from everyone - regardless of disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, belief or race.

Youth Leads UK recognises the unique perspective and relatability that comes with being closer in age to the individuals we serve. Therefore, in accordance with our youth-led mission, we exercise an exception from the Equality Act, enabling us to prioritise employing individuals under the age of 30, fostering a deeper connection and understanding within our organisation.

YOUTH-LED APPROACH

One of the factors which make Youth Leads UK’s approach different is our belief in the value of youth insights and input to guide our work. The post holder will be expected to understand youth involvement and be an advocate for youth involvement which will include a flexible approach to work, including a willingness to take on tasks outside the normal remit, to work irregular hours, often evenings and weekends.
