Hitchin Youth Trust is a small charity with a big heart. We support local young people (up to the age of 26) through the award of individual grants and bursaries, and we provide grants to local charities and organisations carrying out vital work with young people across our community.
We are also home to the Hitchin Charity Youth Hub at our base on Walsworth Road in Hitchin — a shared space where several local youth charities work side by side, because we know that collaboration makes everyone stronger.
In addition, we provide a meeting space at the Charity Hub. It is offered free of charge to local youth groups and charities, to help them to provide support and a wide range of other opportunities for the young people in our community.
As Youth Trust Manager — our sole employee — you’ll work closely with an engaged and forward-thinking Board of Trustees. The role is fabulously varied – one day you might be attending an investment meeting in London; the next, liaising sensitively with an individual or organisation enquiring about grant support; the next, checking toilet roll supplies and making sure the building is running smoothly.
Your work will span six key areas:
• Financial management — keeping our accounts accurate, reconciling income and expenditure, liaising with our investment broker and auditors, and producing monthly reports using Sage.
• Grant applications — receiving and processing applications, supporting applicants, preparing summaries for Trustees, and managing award payments.
• Representing the Trust — networking with local and national organisations, keeping our website and social media fresh, and organising events.
• Trustee clerking — preparing agendas and minutes, managing Charity Commission and Companies House returns, and supporting the annual audit.
• Buildings & facilities — managing the Charity Hub, overseeing bookings, maintenance and H&S compliance, and being the go-to person for building users and contractors.
• General administration — first point of contact for the Trust, maintaining our annual calendar, and keeping us compliant with legislation and best practice (including GDPR).
Who We’re Looking For
We are looking for someone who has a genuine passion for supporting young people in our community. In addition, you will need to offer:
· A great eye for detail.
· Be organised, proactive and self-motivated.
· Enjoy the variety a day will bring you, manipulating a spreadsheet, preparing Board papers, following up grant enquiries or representing the Trust at a local event.
· Have a warm manner. Be equally comfortable liaising charity directors, educational professionals and individual parents who may be desperately reaching out to the charity for urgent support.
Once you have read the Applicant Pack (which contains the more detailed Job Description and Person Specification for the post, alongside more information about the charity), please upload your CV alongside a covering letter which explains clearly to us what makes you a great fit for our role. Please ensure you also provide full details of 2 referees (references will be taken up at offer stage only).
Interviews will be held on Monday 20th July 2026
A small charity with a big heart supporting local young people (up to the age of 26).
