Caritas Young Parents’ Service offers accommodation-based support to young parents and their children who have experienced chaotic and/or unsafe lifestyles. We aim to keep families together and equip them with the tools they need to move on to independent living. We provide a safe space for parents to confidently parent their child.
We show parents how to play with their babies and toddlers to help them to develop new skills through guided play sessions and story times. We run skills and wellbeing sessions for the parents to help them develop independent living skills, such as how to cook on a budget.
We are excited to advertise for a new volunteer that can help deliver these activities, so if you have any skills that you are not utilising, you might be just who we are looking for.
What you will be doing
- Supporting the staff-led delivery of creative age-appropriate activities for the children, wellbeing-focused sessions for the parents and getting involved with the activities and sessions organised by staff.
- Supporting staff led activities focused on day-to-day tasks that will increase confidence, such as basic cookery sessions
- Empathising with young people experiencing parenthood for the first time.
- Volunteers are required to follow all Caritas safeguarding, confidentiality and professional boundaries policies at all times. Any concerns about the welfare of any of the children or adults who use the services must be acted upon in accordance with our Safeguarding Policy.
- Volunteers be responsible to the Service Manager who would organise their induction and ongoing supervision.
- Volunteers would be expected to ensure the confidentiality of the people who use the service, and not share any information relating to them outside of the service team.
- Volunteers will be working alongside a member of staff - either the service manager or a project worker. Once a volunteer is confident and the manager is happy with their approach then they may be left to complete a play session, for example, but they would not be working alone in the building.
- This role requires a commitment of 5 to 10 hours per week. The role is open ended not fixed term.
The skills you need
- Empathy
- Good listener
- Good communication skills
- Patience
- Respect
- Some residents may have experienced trauma, homelessness, abuse or family breakdown. Volunteers should be comfortable working in a sensitive and supportive environment.
What's in it for you
- Opportunity to use your experience and skills to support people in your communities to whom your support matters.
- Growing confidence and esteem
- Full induction and training
- Further training opportunities

VOLUNTEER YOUTH WORK CHARITY CEO WANTED
URBAN YOUTH The Streetwear‑Inspired Youth Movement for London
- This is not a job.
- This is not a title.
- This is a calling.
London’s young people deserve more than another youth project. They deserve a movement — something bold, electric, culturally alive, and unapologetically built for them.
URBAN YOUTH is that movement.
We’re searching for a Volunteer CEO who is ready to help build one of the most exciting youth-led revolutions London has ever seen.
ABOUT URBAN YOUTH
URBAN YOUTH blends the energy of streetwear culture with the impact of youth work. We’re creating a London where opportunity doesn’t hide in offices or institutions — it drops like a limited-edition release.
Every month, young people across the city experience:
-
Urban Youth Drops™ — exclusive pop-up events
-
Creative hubs and skills labs
-
Employment pathways and entrepreneurship programmes
-
Streetwear collections designed by young people
-
Festivals, takeovers, and youth-led culture
URBAN YOUTH is where creativity meets opportunity. Where ambition meets belonging. Where young people feel seen, valued, inspired, connected, ambitious, hopeful.
THE ROLE: VOLUNTEER CEO
We’re looking for a leader who can build a movement, not just manage a charity.
Someone who can stand at the intersection of:
-
Youth culture
-
Creativity
-
Social impact
-
Streetwear and branding
-
Community empowerment
-
Strategic leadership
This is a role for a visionary. A builder. A connector. A culture-shaper.
You’ll lead the development of:
1. The Urban Youth Foundation
Youth work, mentoring, employability, wellbeing, community programmes.
2. The Urban Youth Collective
A membership network giving young people access to exclusive drops, leadership opportunities, and ambassador roles.
3. Urban Youth Studios
A creative powerhouse producing content, fashion, music, photography, and digital media.
4. Urban Youth Apparel
A youth-led streetwear brand funding opportunities for young people.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As Volunteer CEO, you will:
-
Shape the vision, culture, and identity of URBAN YOUTH
-
Build partnerships with brands, funders, creatives, and community leaders
-
Lead the launch of Urban Youth Drops™ across London
-
Oversee programmes like The Drop, Street to Success, The Creative Collective, The Hustle Lab, and The Urban Leaders Academy
-
Drive the growth of the Urban Youth Festival and Urban Youth Awards
-
Inspire a team of volunteers, youth leaders, and partners
-
Champion young people’s voices at every level
-
Turn URBAN YOUTH into a citywide movement
This is a role for someone who wants to change the game, not maintain the status quo.
WHO YOU ARE

You might be:
-
A youth worker with big ideas
-
A creative director with a heart for community
-
A strategist who loves culture

A social entrepreneur
-
A leader who believes London’s young people deserve more

-
Bold
-
Collaborative

-
Purpose-driven
-
Excited by innovation
-
Energised by young people

URBAN YOUTH exists to change that.
- To make opportunity visible.
- To make belonging accessible.
- To make ambition exciting.
- To make youth culture powerful.
This is your chance to lead a movement that could transform thousands of lives.
