About Restless Development.

We know young people have the power to solve the challenges we face in our world, but they are being sidelined. We are the agency that works with young people so they can lead in solving those challenges. Whether that means supporting communities to end child marriage or prevent HIV, we work with young people to change their lives and the lives of people in their communities.

The successful candidate will have experience of creating new partnerships with businesses and/or event sponsors. You’ll need to be passionate about what Restless Development does and be able to clearly explain and present that work and its impact to our supporters. This role is part of a small team, so the successful candidate will be a team player who is willing to support the wider team whilst balancing their own workload. There’ll be the occasional late night at an event, and you could be expected to accompany supporters on a visit to see our work in action in Africa or Asia.
