Since 2006, we have supported over 438,000 young people and trained 19,000 teachers through our programmes to set up school businesses which have generated more than $2,000,000 in income!

MANAGING DIRECTOR WANTED

BUILD THE MOVEMENT. LEAD THE SQUAD. CHANGE THE GAME.

URBAN YOUTH isn’t just a charity — it’s a startup youth movement built from raw energy, street culture, and the belief that young people deserve experiences that hit different. We’re small, scrappy, and unapologetically ambitious.

And now we’re searching for a Managing Director who’s ready to help us turn this spark into a wildfire.

This Is Not Your Typical MD Role

• No big budgets.
• No endless staff teams.
• No corporate safety nets.

Just vision, hustle, and the drive to build something powerful from almost nothing.

Urban Youth is a pop‑up youth work charity (like a streetwear drop), creative jams, community takeovers, and high‑impact experiences that feel more like culture than “services.” We’re building a youth movement that’s loud, urban, and real.

We need someone who can help us take this raw potential and scale it into something unforgettable.

What You’ll Lead

You’ll be the strategic force behind Urban Youth — shaping our direction, building our foundations, and helping us grow from a startup idea into a city‑wide movement.

You’ll help us:

• Build partnerships from scratch

• Create opportunities with minimal resources

• Turn creative chaos into sustainable impact

• Grow our squad, our reach, and our influence

• Make sure our pop‑ups hit hard and keep evolving

This is leadership in its purest form — no red tape, no grey areas, just vision, grit, and action.

Who You Are

1. You’re entrepreneurial.
2. You’re resourceful.
3. You’re the kind of person who sees a blank space and imagines a whole community event happening there.
4. You thrive in startup energy — fast decisions, big ideas, and making things happen with whatever you’ve got.
5. You don’t wait for permission.
6. You don’t need perfect conditions.
7. You build anyway.

If you’ve ever said, “Give me a mission and I’ll make it real,” you’re exactly who we want.

Why Urban Youth?

• Because we’re creating something new. Something bold. Something that doesn’t look like traditional youth work.
• We’re building a movement that feels like culture — not charity. A squad. A vibe. A community.

As Managing Director, you won’t just run an organisation. You’ll help create one.

You’ll shape the identity, the energy, and the future of Urban Youth from the ground up.

Ready to build something huge?

1. If you want to lead with purpose…
2. If you want to create impact without waiting for permission…
3. If you want to help build a youth movement that’s raw, urban, and unforgettable…

Urban Youth needs you.

Step up. Join the squad. Let’s build something massive.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR WANTED

JOIN THE SQUAD. CHANGE THE CULTURE. IGNITE THE STREETS.

URBAN YOUTH isn’t your typical youth charity. We don’t do clipboards, corporate jargon or endless meetings.

1. We do impact.
2. We do energy.
3. We do urban culture brought to life.

And right now, we’re calling out for a Creative Director who’s ready to step into the heart of it.

Step Into a Role That Actually Means Something

This isn’t a desk job. This is a movement. Urban Youth will run high‑energy pop‑up youth work (like a streetwear drop), creative takeovers, community jams, and raw, real opportunities for young people who deserve more than the system usually gives them.

We’re building a community. A vibe. A family. And we need someone who can shape the look, feel and soul of it.

What You’ll Do

1. You’ll be the creative engine behind everything we do — the visuals, the storytelling, the experiences, the culture.
2. You’ll help us design moments that young people feel in their chest. Moments that make them say, “Yo, Urban Youth is different.”
3. You’ll bring ideas that hit hard.
4. You’ll help us build a brand that’s loud, bold and unapologetically urban.
5. You’ll make creativity accessible to young people who’ve been told they don’t belong in those spaces.

Who You Are

• You’re a creator. A visionary. A culture‑builder.
• Someone who sees potential everywhere — in a blank wall, a beat‑up basketball court, a group of young people hanging out after school.
• You don’t need a fancy title or a portfolio full of agency work.
• You just need passion, imagination, and the guts to try things that haven’t been done before.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to do something real. Something that matters.” This is it.

Why Join Urban Youth?

• Because we’re not waiting for permission.
• We’re not drowning in red tape.
• We’re not ticking boxes.
• We’re out here to create real experiences, real connections, real change — one pop‑up at a time.
• You’ll be part of a squad that backs each other, pushes boundaries, and builds community with raw authenticity.

Ready to roll?

1. If your creativity is itching for a purpose…
2. If you want to be part of something that feels alive…
3. If you want to help shape a youth movement that’s loud, proud and rooted in the streets…

Urban Youth wants you.

Step up. Join the squad. Let’s build something unforgettable.

Would you like to support people who have served in the Armed Forces? You just need the ability to listen, strong IT skills and good written and spoken English. If you think this could be the role for you, we’d love to hear from you.

What is a Caseworker?

Caseworkers visit clients to work out what type of support they need. You will listen without judgement to assess and provide tailored support to help those serving, who have served and their families to navigate life in and beyond military service. Some examples of support are securing funding for special equipment for someone with a disability, adaptions to a property so an older client can remain at home or funds for a rental deposit. Caseworkers also sign-post clients onto specialist local services for advice on benefits, housing, mental health, debt, finding work etc.

Why do we need you?

We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community since 1885. Our clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan. We’d love the general public to understand what we do and how they can help us.

There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas who support local volunteers to deliver services to veterans, serving personnel and their families. Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles, and fundraisers.

When would you be needed and where would you be based?

The essential part of the role is visiting clients, so you will need access to a vehicle or another way to travel to meet clients at home or in a care home setting. As part of your local branch, you might have access to an office, but you can complete the administration part of the role from home as long as you have access to IT equipment and the internet.

What would you be doing?

• Contacting beneficiaries and arranging to meet them at a mutually convenient time.
• Meeting beneficiaries and completing a form to assess their circumstances, using good communication skills, empathy and understanding.
• Sign-posting clients onto local services providing specialist advice.
• Applying for funding on the behalf of the beneficiary through a specific process and system

• Role specific training to prepare you for your voluntary role – confidentiality and boundaries, personal safety, caseworker training, and caseworker IT system training. The caseworker training takes 3 days and a further half a day for the other training.
• Mandatory on-line training modules to complete at home, so you are up to date on how to keep clients, their families safe and personal information safe.
• Access to a range additional e-learning courses as well as local opportunities for your personal and professional development.
• Local induction including assigning a person from the team who will be your main point of contact.
• Regular opportunities to meet and share best practice with other caseworkers.
• Range of support from central and regional volunteer operations team.
• Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
• Volunteers will be covered by SSAFAs Public Liability Insurance whilst carrying out the role.

What are we looking for?

• Friendly and approachable with good listening skills, patience, and a positive attitude.
• Good communication skills both written and verbally.
• Respectful and non-judgemental approach with beneficiaries, their family, other agencies and SSAFA colleagues
• Willingness and ability to use IT systems for initial and on-going training and to enter cases on the Casework Management System. Willingness and ability to send and receive emails – you will receive your own SSAFA email address which you will be required to use when exercising your role.

Our mission is to challenge generational cycles, expose hidden truths, fight for justice and create a platform rooted in authenticity, deep healing, and transformation.

Job Purpose:

To actively identify, locate, and surface potential real-world stories, individuals, and lived experiences that align with the organisation’s mission, ensuring a continuous pipeline of high-quality, relevant story leads for the Story Intelligence Team.

This role exists to function as the organisation’s primary “frontline discovery engine,” scanning a wide range of public sources—including media platforms, social networks, interviews, documentaries, podcasts, books, advocacy spaces, and community forums—to uncover individuals who have either publicly shared their experiences or are visibly positioned within ongoing social, cultural, or institutional narratives.

The Research Story Scout is responsible for recognising not just individual stories, but also broader story ecosystems, including repeated patterns of lived experience, underrepresented voices, emerging testimonies, and whistleblower disclosures that may not yet have been formally documented or widely circulated.

A key purpose of this role is to convert scattered public information into structured, actionable story leads that can be passed efficiently to the Outreach Team for ethical and appropriate engagement.

The role also ensures that potential stories are identified early, before they become widely saturated or lost in mainstream attention cycles, enabling the organisation to engage responsibly, respectfully, and at the right stage of the individual’s willingness to share.

Ultimately, this role ensures the organisation maintains a consistent flow of credible, relevant, and timely story opportunities by continuously scanning the public landscape and translating discovery into structured, usable intelligence for outreach and engagement.

About the role:

Story Scouts spend their time locating individuals who have publicly shared their experiences or indicated a willingness to discuss their story.

Sources may include:

• Podcasts

• YouTube interviews

• Social media platforms

• Survivor groups

• Charity websites

• News reports

• Books

• Blogs

• Conferences

• Public speaking events

Once identified, the scout prepares a short lead profile and passes it to outreach for them to make contact, sign consent forms and safeguarding checks, schedule call with guest and host hand over to host. (PPTeam).

Ideal Candidate

• Extremely resourceful.

• Strong online research skills.

• Curious and persistent.

• Enjoys finding information.

• Comfortable working independently.

Experience Required

• Internet research.

• Community management.

• Journalism.

• Talent sourcing.

• Recruitment sourcing.

• Social media research.

What You Will Gain

• Real-world hosting and interviewing experience

• Opportunity to build a public profile and media presence

• Portfolio-building opportunities across podcasting and storytelling

• Networking and relationship-building opportunities

• Experience working within a growing media and advocacy platform

• Creative freedom and personal growth opportunities

• Leadership and media mentorship

• Opportunity to develop your own audience and storytelling identity

• Potential future paid opportunities and long-term media career pathways

• Direct pathway into a future paid role

• The chance to help build a nationally recognised media and survivor-support platform

• COS opportunities for top performing staff members 

This role is designed as a long-term pathway opportunity to a paid position and lifestyle transformation.

We don’t operate on individualism—we build through collectivism, meaning:
  As the platform grows, your role, influence, and opportunities grow with it

• Are seeking immediate paid employment

• Your CV, portfolio, or LinkedIn profile (if available)
