We are recruiting an experienced project manager to help coordinate the planning, delivery, and management of Renewal and Reconciliation: The Codrington Reparations Project in collaboration with a parallel post in Barbados. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with demonstrable experience in project management, who is comfortable working with a wide range stakeholders and partners at all levels and is committed to USPG’s aims and values. The work requires a sensitivity to the contested nature of history and active support for reparations for the transatlantic slave trade. Knowledge of the Caribbean region, history and cultures and an understanding of university research environments would be advantages.

The project

Renewal and Reconciliation is a project that involves a partnership between the Codrington Trust and the United Society Partners in the Gospel (USPG). This is a reparative project in relation to the ownership and management of the 700-acre Codrington Estate. Between 1712 and 1838 the estate was run by USPG’s predecessor organisation, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG). Under SPG’s management, enslaved persons of African descent were subjected to brutal and degrading treatment as well as the deprivation of their liberty. USPG has pledged 18M Barbadian dollars (£7M sterling) to be used over a period of 10 – 15 years in Codrington, Barbados to support a programme of activities composed of four workstreams: community development and engagement; historical research & education; burial places & memorialisation and family research.

You will be one of five members of staff working alongside a team of dedicated volunteers. Being part of a small team, you will get the opportunity to contribute ideas and help shape YCDT as we grow and are supporting more young carers than ever before.

   Job description

   About YCDT

   Established as a charity (no 1150197) in 2012, the Young Carers Development Trust our aim is to improve the life chances of young carers by giving them targeted and sustained mentoring support to raise and achieve their educational, personal and career aspirations.

   To date, YCDT’s approach has been to work with local young carers’ services to identify young carers with real potential who are unlikely to succeed without targeted support. From 2024 we are launching our brand-new Lottery Community 2-year funded project across South West England so as such, we are seeking the right individual to take the trust forward to our next stage of growth.

   This project will extend our work into schools who will be one of the main referral sources for the new mentoring project. Currently, we provide support for up to five years to each young carer but this new project will provide a shorter one-year programme, thus enabling more young carers to access support.

   About this role

   We are recruiting a Lead Mentoring Project Officer to launch and manage our high-quality 1-year Mentoring Programme that supports young carers aged 14-16 to achieve goals tailored to their needs. Each cohort will be delivered through a combination of 1:1 mentoring and monthly groups with a maximum of 8 mentees and 2 mentors. The programme aims to help the mentees improve their educational attainment, identify routes into further and/or higher education and apprenticeships, increase independence skills, build confidence, access appropriate services, reduce isolation and build resilience. You will work in partnership with the Mentoring Project Officer and under the supervision and guidance of YCDT’s Service Manager.

   We are looking for an outstanding candidate who is passionate about supporting young carers to reach their full potential. We do not expect you to have direct experience of mentoring or working with young carers but we do expect you to have empathy, good listening skills and a strong knowledge of the needs and common challenges of young people aged 14-16 with a passion to make a real difference in their lives.

   You will be responsible for building and maintaining strong partnerships with community organisations and to generate and maintain steady referrals to the programme. You will be required to assess young carers’ needs and in conjunction with the second Mentoring Project Officer, deliver one-to-one and group support to the mentees, carefully monitoring their progress. Further to this, you will be responsible for responding to safeguarding concerns and maintaining strong professional boundaries.

   You will be required to evaluate the progress of individuals, keeping databases up to date and maintain accurate reporting. Due to the nature of the pilot programme, flexibility will be key to success.

   You will be one of five members of staff working alongside a team of dedicated volunteers. Being part of a small team, you will get the opportunity to contribute ideas and help shape YCDT as we grow and are supporting more young carers than ever before.

   We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those with a lived experience of having caring responsibilities. If you think you have the skills and experience to be one of our new Mentoring Projects Officers, we would love to hear from you.

   The job description as described will be reviewed on a regular basis to respond to any changing needs of the post.

Central London (Borough)  

Fixed Term - 12 months internship 

Part Time - 28 hours (four days) a week 

£18,000 per annum for 28 hours a week 

Additional Criteria: Candidates must be Greater London residents, and between 18-24 years old. 

Closing date:  7th January 2024 midnight 

In partnership with the Greater London Authority (GLA) our client is looking for two Solutions and Project Officers (aged 18-24) to join them for 12 months and help them change the sporting landscape for women and girls.  

Roles in the sports sector are not representative of the diverse ethnicities, lived experiences, and socioeconomic backgrounds of young people across London, so our client encourages young people from all backgrounds, and particularly those underrepresented in sport, to apply. 

Do you share our client’s vision that no one should be excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport?  Are you passionate about improving the lives of girls and women through sport? 

Our client is going through an exciting period as it continues its leading-edge research and pilot projects, grows in profile and demonstrates thought leadership. The Solutions and Projects Officer(s) is a newly created internship opportunity designed to contribute to the partnership work the charity undertakes in the sports sector.  

Our client is looking for two energetic, enthusiastic, and organised individuals, who can support delivery of projects ranging from events to showcase their 40-year history to communications initiatives, and partnership work with sports.  This is all to maximise the legacy of change they are creating. 

They hope you may have some work experience in any capacity; however they are more interested in your motivations, behaviours and aspirations.  They are looking for someone fired up to change the sporting world for women and girls. 

Our client is committed to a working culture where everyone can be authentic and true to themselves. They value the quality and diversity of thought that is only possible from a team made up of individuals from a broad range of backgrounds, who can each bring their different experiences and perspectives. For this reason, they encourage applications from people of all ages, male allies as well as women, people from different ethnic, cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds, people with disabilities and irrespective of sexual orientation.  

Main responsibilities are to: 

• Support the charity’s strategic project/event management 

• Ensure learnings from projects are embedded 

• Coordinating communications with colleagues and external partners 

Please see the job description for full list of responsibilities and the criteria required for this role.
