We’re REMIX — a start-up Shoreditch‑based social mobility charity empowering young people to remix their lives with confidence, creativity and real opportunities. We’re launching this September, and we’re looking for a high‑energy, organised, creative Executive Assistant / Launch Coordinator to support our CEO and help keep the whole operation running smoothly.

This is a hands‑on, fast‑paced, start‑up role. You’ll be right at the centre of the action — coordinating, organising, planning, and helping us build momentum as we push towards launch.

If you love youth culture, creativity, organisation and making things happen quickly, this role is made for you.

What This Role Is All About

As our Executive Assistant / Launch Coordinator, you’ll be the person who keeps everything flowing. You’ll support the CEO directly, help coordinate the team, manage schedules, organise launch tasks and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

You’ll help us stay sharp, focused and moving forward at speed.

You’ll meet weekly at first as we build REMIX’s early systems, prepare for launch and create the energy we need to introduce ourselves to London.

What You’ll Be Doing at REMIX

You’ll help us run our launch operations, including:

• Supporting the CEO with day‑to‑day coordination and organisation

• Managing schedules, meetings, priorities and launch timelines

• Helping coordinate volunteers, creative teams and programme leads

• Keeping track of tasks, deadlines and moving parts

• Organising launch events, shoots, planning sessions and team meet‑ups

• Ensuring communication flows smoothly across the team

• Helping maintain momentum, clarity and structure during the build‑up to launch

Your work will help REMIX stay fast, focused and ready to empower young people from day one.

Who We’re Looking For

We want someone who is:

• Positive, energetic and Shoreditch‑vibed

• Organised, fast‑moving and great at keeping things on track

• Comfortable supporting a CEO in a start‑up environment

• Creative, confident and youth‑culture aware

• Able to juggle multiple tasks with calmness and clarity

• Excited by building something new, modern and culturally relevant

If you’re the kind of person who loves making things happen behind the scenes — you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Be Part Of

As our EA / Launch Coordinator, you’ll help us:

• Launch a charity designed to help young people remix their futures

• Build early systems that feel modern, simple and youth‑friendly

• Shape a culture rooted in creativity, confidence and opportunity

• Create momentum and energy in the run‑up to launch

• Set the tone for how REMIX operates as we grow

You’ll be part of something with big plans and huge potential — and your organisation and energy will help us get there.

What You’ll Get From Volunteering With REMIX

• A central role in a fast‑moving start‑up charity

• Experience supporting a CEO and coordinating a launch

• Weekly collaboration with a creative, energetic team

• A chance to shape REMIX’s early operations and identity

• The excitement of launching something bold, modern and youth‑centred

• The knowledge that your work directly supports young people rising

Ready to Help Us Remix the Future

If you’re excited by creativity, youth culture and building something that moves fast, we’d love to hear from you. Share a bit about yourself, your experience and why this role speaks to you. Let’s build something powerful together.

Across the UK, our volunteer groups play a vital part in supporting people affected by MS, bringing people together and connecting our local MS communities.

As a Group Coordinator, you’ll take the lead in making sure your local group reaches out to people affected by MS.

The role is varied, and will enable you to further develop your leadership, management, communication, organisation and motivation skills.

Airplay is part of the RAF Benevolent fund and run by One YMCA. We provide youth clubs for children aged eight to eighteen which includes Ben Clubs for children aged 5 to 7 too. We provide a range of social activities in state-of-the-art facilities with sessions run by our friendly youth workers.
