Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
It's a Tuesday afternoon in a school hall in Luton. Multiple Year 9s are sitting in a loose circle, arms crossed, faces doing that thing teenagers do when they've decided nothing is going to impress them. Twenty minutes later, one of them- a boy who hasn't said a word in class all term, according to his form tutor- is on his feet, mid-sentence, telling the room what he actually wants to do with his life. That shift has happened because his Yes Futures coach believed in him, and in turn he now believes in himself.
Who we are
Yes Futures is a youth coaching charity. We put professional coaches in front of young people who would otherwise never get that kind of one-to-one belief and challenge: leadership coaches, life coaches and executive coaches, the kind normally hired by boardrooms. Our flagship programme, Rising Futures, works in secondary schools, where teachers choose the students they believe will gain most from it. That looks different in every school. It might be a student whose confidence has dipped, or one who has never once put their hand up in class. What we give them is the same: someone whose whole job is to believe in them, and the tools to start believing in themselves.
The programme combines one-to-one coaching with experiential learning days: from pitching product ideas inside a real company on a World of Work day to raft building and rock climbing on an Into the Wild day; experiences many of our students would never otherwise get.
We're financially stable and growing across London and the South East. This role is part of that growth
Introduction to the role
- Reporting to: Director of Programme
- Contract Type: Fixed term (6 months, with a genuine prospect of extension into a longer or permanent role, based on performance and demand)
- Start Date: 1st September 2026 or sooner
- Salary: £33,500-£37,000 (negotiable within this range) +5% employer pension contribution
- Working Hours: Full-time preferred; part-time considered depending on location and travel (see below)
- Location and working pattern: Hybrid (Roughly 20% home-based, 10% office-based, 70% travel across partner schools)
- Travel: The role will require travel across our partner schools and colleges in London and the South East. Currently this is as far west as Reading, south as South London, north as Luton, east as Essex.
- You don't need to be able to cover the whole patch. If you can only serve some of these areas, apply anyway. Depending on where our strongest candidates are based, we may take on more than one person, including part-time, to split the geography between them.
This is not term-time only. It runs across the full contract, not just school terms.
Role purpose
The Programme Delivery Coordinator will be the person on the ground making Rising Futures actuallyhappen: in the room with young people, out on the experiential days that take the programme beyond the classroom, alongside our coaches, and in the relationships with schools that keep everything running. You'll combine direct delivery with the coordination and follow-through that turns a good session into a programme that holds together over months.
There will also be ad hoc demands beyond the core programme- this is a role for someone comfortable with a bit of unpredictability, not a fixed routine.
Key Responsibilities- What you’ll be doing
Delivery
-
Deliver Rising Futures sessions and workshops directly in schools, working closely with students, educators and coaches
-
Act as the main point of contact for your assigned school cohorts, keeping communication sharp and things running smoothly
-
Plan and deliver our experiential learning days: World of Work days inside real employers, and Into the Wild days of outdoor challenge at activity centres
-
Support monitoring and evaluation of impact: collecting data and feedback that actually gets used, not filed away
-
Capture photos and videos of delivery in action for our reporting and communications
Coaches and relationships
-
Support recruitment, selection and onboarding of coaches and volunteers
-
Keep coaches equipped and confident to deliver high-quality sessions
-
Build and maintain strong relationships with partner schools- the kind that make a partner school want to work with us again next year
Making it run
-
Coordinate the logistics of delivery: scheduling, materials, venues
-
Keep safeguarding and health and safety front of mind, always
-
Handle the administrative side of delivery- records and reporting done properly, not as an afterthought
Who we're looking for
Forget the standard checklist for a moment. What we actually need is someone who can walk into a room of thirty teenagers who don't know you and don't owe you their attention, and have most of them leaning in within five minutes.
If you've done that before- as a teacher, youth worker, coach, facilitator, performer, anything- you probably already know whether this is you.
Person specification
Essential
-
Experience delivering programmes or workshops to young people in educational or youth development settings
-
An ability to quickly establish effective relationships based on trust and respect with both children and adults, both within a group setting and one-to-one
-
Excellent communication with a wide range of stakeholders: young people, school staff, parents, coaches, volunteers and employer partners, adjusting your style for each
-
A proactive, flexible attitude- things will change, and you'll adapt without losing momentum
-
Strong organisation and time management- comfortable holding several moving parts at once
-
Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
-
A passion for Yes Futures' work and a drive to increase the charity's reach
-
Willing and able to travel across London and the South East as required, including travelling independently to schools with equipment and resource suitcases
-
Proficient computer use, including word processing, spreadsheets and video conferencing
Desirable
-
Understanding of safeguarding policy and best practice with young people
-
Experience coordinating or administering youth programmes
-
Familiarity with impact measurement and programme evaluation
-
A keen interest and up-to-date knowledge in education matters and issues affecting young people
What you'll get
-
£33,500–£37,000, negotiable, plus 5% employer pension contribution
-
A role with real scope to grow- this six-month contract has a genuine chance of extending, based on how it goes and how demand grows
-
A working pattern that mixes delivery, home working and office time, rather than being deskbound or constantly on the road
-
The chance to work alongside coaches who normally charge boardrooms four figures a day, and see what their skillset does for a fifteen-year-old instead
-
Days that don't look like anyone else's job: one week you're in a school hall, the next you're at an activity centre watching a Year 8 conquer a giant climbing wall.
How to apply
Applications are via Yes Futures' Charity Job page. Upload your CV or your LinkedIn profile to Charity Job.
Then, instead of the usual cover letter, we would like you to answer some specific questions, drawing from your experience in your CV/ Linked In profile:
Write us the answers to the following questions drawing from your experience (around 300 words per question):
1. Tell us about a session, workshop or activity you've delivered to young people that you're proud of. What made it work, and what would you do differently now?
2. This role means building trust with a school one week and a fifteen-year-old the next. Tell us about a working relationship you've built with someone very different from you, and what made it work.
3. Walk us through a programme, event or series of sessions you've run from planning through to delivery. How did you keep the moving parts on track, and what did you do when something changed at the last minute?
We'll also ask one practical question so we can plan geography:
Which parts of our delivery area (London and the South East, from Reading across to Essex) could you cover for regular school days? If you're interested in a part-time arrangement covering part of this area, tell us here.
Stage 2
If your application progresses to the next stage we will invite you to submit a 30-90 second video answering the following question:
Tell us about a moment you got a group of young people- or any group- to open up, engage, or believe something they didn't believe five minutes earlier. What did you actually do?
Key dates:
Applications open: 7th July 2026
Applications close: Monday 27th July 2026, 8am
Final interviews: Week commencing 27th July 2026
We're reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so don't wait until the deadline. If we get enough strong candidates before then, we may close early.
For any questions, please email us at our organisation info email address.
Please apply via Yes Futures' Charity Job page.
Positive futures begin with self-belief. Yes Futures empowers young people to believe in themselves and discover their personal potential.

About the role:
This is a chance to help turn potential into possibility for people who have too often been locked out of opportunity.

It is also about confidence, connection, skills, purpose and access to the right opportunities at the right time. Our Achieving Potential programme supports people across SHP to access learning, volunteering, training, education and employment, and this role will help strengthen and grow that offer so it is more connected, visible and accessible.
As Project Coordinator, you will coordinate the day-to-day delivery of the programme, keeping activity planned, information up to date and communication clear across teams, participants, volunteers and partners. You will help maintain the programme prospectus, manage enquiries, track engagement and outcomes, and support participants to move between opportunities in a way that feels joined up and meaningful. You will also help build relationships with colleges, employers, training providers and community organisations, opening up new routes for people to build skills, confidence and independence.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys making things happen, bringing structure to growing work, and creating the systems and relationships that help good ideas become real, lasting opportunities for people. At SHP, you will be supported to grow in the role through regular supervision, access to learning and development, and opportunities to build your skills in programme coordination, partnership working, impact reporting and inclusive service delivery.

- You build trust easily, bringing warmth, curiosity and respect to your work with clients, colleagues, volunteers and partners.
- You believe people’s futures should not be limited by homelessness, trauma or disadvantage, and you bring creativity and care to helping people move towards their goals.
- You are confident keeping things on track, whether that means managing information, coordinating schedules, communicating clearly or spotting practical ways to improve how things work.
