HEAD OF HR & VOLUNTEERING (REMOTE VOLUNTEER ROLE)

Build the backbone. Shape the culture. Power the movement.

Urban Youth is a start-up fast-moving, street‑level start‑up charity bringing high‑impact, urban-style youth work to London. We don’t sit in offices waiting for young people to come to us — we drop into the heart of the city, transforming unused spaces into hubs of creativity, connection, and opportunity.

But every movement needs structure. Every crew needs a culture. Every launch needs someone who can build the scaffolding behind the scenes.

We’re looking for a Head of HR & Volunteering — a founding volunteer leader who can design our systems, shape our people experience, and build the volunteer-powered engine that makes Urban Youth unstoppable.

Your Mission

You’ll be the architect of Urban Youth’s internal world — the person who builds the infrastructure that allows our street-level work to thrive.

You will:

• Design and implement our HR systems, processes, and policies from the ground up

• Build a volunteer programme that feels energising, inclusive, and purpose-driven

• Lead our volunteer recruitment strategy, working with our Volunteer Coordinator

• Shape a culture rooted in positivity, continuous improvement, team spirit, and belonging

• Develop onboarding, training, and support pathways for all volunteers

• Create simple, effective frameworks that help a start-up charity move fast without losing heart

• Work closely with the leadership team to prepare Urban Youth for launch and long-term growth

This is a rare chance to build the foundations of a charity before it takes off.

Who You Are

You don’t need to be a traditional HR professional — though you can be. What matters most is your ability to build systems, nurture people, and create culture.

You might be:

• Someone who loves structure, clarity, and good organisation

• A natural community-builder who believes in people-first leadership

• A champion of positivity, fairness, and continuous improvement

• A creative thinker who enjoys designing processes that actually work

• Someone excited by the idea of shaping a charity’s DNA from day one

Above all, you believe that people are the heart of everything — and you want to build a place where volunteers feel valued, supported, and part of a family.

Why This Role Matters

Urban Youth is volunteer-powered at its core. The systems you build will shape:

• How volunteers join

• How they’re supported

• How they grow

• How they feel

• How we deliver high-impact youth work across London

You’ll be setting the tone for an organisation that moves at the speed of the street — bold, agile, and full of heart.

This is a founding leadership role. A legacy role. A chance to build something that will outlast all of us.

If you want to help build a charity’s entire people ecosystem — and shape a culture rooted in hope, energy, and community — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and become the backbone of Urban Youth.
