The Youth Futures Foundation is a new, independent, not for profit organisation set up to tackle youth unemployment with a £90million endowment from the Reclaim Fund. We are looking for bold and impactful ways to help young people find and keep good jobs. There are over 750,000 young people not in education or employment in the UK. Young people are twice as likely to be unemployed than older adults in the labour market and BAME and disadvantaged young people disproportionately bear the brunt of it.
We are building an ‘empowerment foundation’ to identify practical solutions that work in a complex world yet are simple and cost effective enough to roll out across multiple locations, to reach as many young people as possible. To do this, we are now building our own inspiring team to help us achieve our vision.
As the Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will play a vital role in supporting Youth Futures Foundation to achieve our mission and deliver our ambitious strategy. You will develop and deliver a comprehensive organisational, administrative and management support service to the CEO, Chair and wider Youth Futures Foundation team. You will be dealing with a wide range of external and internal stakeholders and will be the first point of contact for the Chief Executive and Chair.
This role will suit someone who has experience as an Executive Assistant at executive level and would be excited at the opportunity to be involved across all aspects of the organisation to ensure we are operating efficiently and effectively to deliver on our purpose. As part of a small and ambitious team, the post holder will have visibility of all areas of the organisation and have the opportunity to really help with shaping Youth Futures Foundation at this nascent stage.
The successful candidate will have at least three years' experience supporting a senior management team member (i.e. CEO or Director), ideally in the charity sector, and will have excellent organisational, written, verbal and general project management experience.
The closing date is 11.59pm 8th June 2020.

Day One is a linked charity of Leeds Cares dedicated to supporting patients and their families affected by major trauma through the provision of practical and emotional support. The charity was established in 2014 by a group of major trauma patients and their trauma surgeon. The charity’s holistic and flexible approach aims to limit the impact of major trauma on patients and families and aid recovery and adjustment, enabling patients and their family to lead fulfilling lives following injury.
Day One currently supports patients and their families treated at the regional Major Trauma Centre at the Leeds General Infirmary (part of the Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust) as well as across the West Yorkshire Trauma Network. Day One’s plans include expansion beyond Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust to other major trauma centres enabling the charity to achieve its mission to create a national support network for victims of major trauma, regardless of where the incident takes place. Critical to this expansion is Day One becoming a stand-alone independent charity.
Reporting to the Chief Executive and working in partnership with clinicians and medical teams, this role is pivotal to the ongoing success of Day One in Leeds and beyond.
The purpose of the Day One Manager is two-fold:
- To manage the support and services provided to patients and their families in Leeds and across the West Yorkshire Trauma Network.
- To support the continued expansion of Day One including overseeing the implementation of Day One at another Major Trauma Centre and preparations for independence as a stand-alone charity.
This is a great opportunity to play an instrumental role in the delivery of vital support and services in Leeds and West Yorkshire as well as contributing to the developmnet of Day One as a national charity.
