About us

Young Citizens is a UK education charity on a mission to help children and young people thrive in their communities and society.

We’re a small, dynamic team working in each nation with a bold vision for the future. We have a well-loved set of digital lessons, tools and immersive programmes that primary and secondary schools come to each year to help deliver inspiring, quality citizenship education.

Role snapshot

This is a fantastic opportunity to join Young Citizens in one of two key Programme Coordinator roles, each helping to deliver our national education programmes.

• As Programme Coordinator – Event and Project Lead, you’ll oversee the planning and delivery of around 65 events each year, from mock trials and school workshops to teacher training and sector-facing events, ensuring every detail contributes to a high-quality experience for young people, educators, and volunteers.
