Volunteer Chief Executive

Lead Urban Youth from vision to reality—and help build a movement that brings young people back to life.

Urban Youth is a brand new youth work charity with a bold mission: to help young people step away from digital isolation and rediscover real‑world connection, confidence, and possibility.

We’re creating a charity where young people can:

• Meet face‑to‑face and form real friendships.

• Build life skills that prepare them for adulthood.

• Discover their strengths, passions, and the world around them.

• Experience opportunities that spark ambition, curiosity, and joy.

To bring this vision to life, we are seeking a founding Volunteer Chief Executive—a leader with heart, courage, and the drive to build something extraordinary from the ground up.

Why this role matters

Urban Youth is at the very beginning of its journey. The foundations we lay now—our culture, our programmes, our partnerships, our identity—will shape the lives of thousands of young people in the years ahead.

This is not a typical CEO role. This is a chance to architect a charity, shape a movement, and lead a mission that restores connection and hope for a generation growing up behind screens.

If you’ve ever wanted to build something meaningful, lasting, and full of purpose, this is that moment.

Your Role as Founding Chief Executive

You will be the driving force behind Urban Youth’s creation, growth, and early impact. Working closely with the Board of Trustees, you will:

• Lead the set‑up and launch of the charity.

• Shape our strategic vision, culture, and long‑term direction.

• Build partnerships with schools, community groups, funders, and local authorities.

• Oversee the development of programmes that build life skills, confidence, and community.

• Recruit, inspire, and support volunteers and future staff.

• Ensure strong safeguarding, governance, and operational systems.

• Represent Urban Youth with passion, clarity, and integrity.

This role begins as a volunteer position during the set‑up phase, with the potential to evolve into a paid leadership role as the charity grows.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need to have been a CEO before but you will need management/leadership experience. You do need to believe deeply in young people and in the power of real‑world connection.

We welcome people from all backgrounds, especially those with experience in:

• Youth Work or Education.

• Charity Leadership or Start‑Ups.

• Safeguarding and Compliance.

• Community Development.

• Fundraising or Partnership‑Building.

• Communications and Public Engagement.

• Operations, HR, or Project Management.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is:

• Vision‑driven and values‑led.

• Energised by building something from scratch.

• Comfortable with both strategy and hands‑on work.

• Warm, inclusive, and able to inspire others.

• Committed to creating safe, empowering spaces for young people.

This is leadership with legacy

As our founding Chief Executive, you will shape the identity, culture, and impact of Urban Youth for years to come. You will help build a charity that restores community, confidence, and connection for the next generation.

If you want your leadership to matter—to change lives, open doors, and build something that lasts—this is your opportunity.

Let’s build a charity that helps young people step into life—not scroll past it.
