· Develop and manage systems to collect, analyse, evaluate, and present impact data to inform service improvement and reporting.
· Shape strategy and contribute to service innovation, growth, and long-term sustainability
· Build and maintain strong partnerships with wellbeing providers, community organisations, and external stakeholders
· Lead our digital presence – overseeing social media, website content, campaigns, and communications (either directly or by coordinating volunteers/students)
· Contribute to charity-wide operations, including policy, governance, safeguarding, and internal reporting in support of the CEO
· Support campaigns, events, fundraising activity, and cross-organisational projects that promote engagement and sustainability.
You will be a key player in helping us grow, scale our reach, and ensure every young person we support feels seen, safe, and supported.

Essential:
· Proven experience managing and delivering health & wellbeing or support programmes
