London Youth embraces equality, diversity and inclusion.  We are committed to the ongoing development of an organisation that values and represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills and welcome applications that reflect this.

Envision is a social mobility charity which enables young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to develop their confidence and skills by empowering them to tackle the social problems they care about most. See what we do here: https://bit.ly/342nCv1

With rising youth unemployment and less opportunities for work experience during the pandemic new ways of developing young people are desperately needed.  Our Community-Apprentice Programme brings together secondary schools and local businesses to enrich education for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. A rigorous randomised control trial provides evidence that our model develops some of the most critical soft skills for life and work.

This year we are celebrating our 20th anniversary and looking for a new Chief Executive who can build on our achievements by scaling our programmes to reach more young people.

Although you will bring experience of leading teams and ensuring quality, you’ll be attracted by the external focus of the role and relish the opportunity to build our profile and partnerships that will be key to our growth.

You’ll bring a proven track record in a senior, strategic leadership role within an organisation that has demonstrated significant growth and the ability to scale. In return we’ll offer you a topical cause, a proven solution and an opportunity to make a difference.

About Envision

Britain has a deep social mobility problem. Envision is committed to changing this by helping to build a society in which success in life is not predetermined by the economic wellbeing of your parents or the post code where you grew up. 

We achieve this by enabling young people from disadvantaged communities to develop the confidence and skills they need to set ambitious goals, and then overcome the barriers they face in order to achieve those goals. 

Our approach is proven to work by the most rigorous of evaluation methodologies. Our challenge is to grow this solution to enable more young people to benefit.

Our programme, Community-Apprentice is, as the name suggests, a practical learning experience for young people. It is delivered by organisations and volunteers drawn from the local community - schools, businesses and local charities - brought together by Envision. These organisations invest in young people. In return young people invest their time back in the community.

We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities, and are committed to having an organisation that is made up of diverse skills, experiences and abilities.

This work has never been more needed in the wake of a global pandemic.

To ensure we can deliver on these ambitions, new income generation and partnership development are critical. Are you ready to join us and take on the challenge? If so, keep reading.

This is an exciting time to join our amazing team in a role that offers you the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of thousands of young people.

Who we are?

Founded over 100 years ago, UK Youth is a national charity that exists to ensure all young people are equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives. We provide infrastructure support to more than 5,500 local youth organisations, collectively reaching 1.6 million young people and we deliver high quality skills development programmes, ranging from employability to STEM and the Arts. We are lucky to have the support of well-known and highly respected corporate brands including Microsoft, Google, LinkedIn and Oliver Bonas.

Young people with complex needs and those from disadvantaged backgrounds are being hardest hit by rising inequality and cuts to local services. Never has there been a more crucial time for organisations to work with young people. 

91% of young people supported by UK Youth face at least one barrier to progression; from being in care, experiencing homelessness to having a disability or poor mental health. We work in partnership with local youth clubs and organisations to deliver high-quality services, grow good practice and campaign to increase nationwide investment and support for young people and youth work.

For many young people, their youth worker can be one of the only people they can openly talk to, and their club is the only space they have to develop their voice, explore their character and realise their full potential.

We stand with youth to ensure their voices are heard as we continue to campaign with them to have access to life-changing opportunities.

We can offer flexibility through the interview process and endeavour to accommodate the candidate’s needs.
