HR & VOLUNTEERING DIRECTOR WANTED
BUILD THE CULTURE. GROW THE SQUAD. SHAPE THE MOVEMENT.
URBAN YOUTH is a startup pop‑up youth work charity — raw, energetic, and built from pure passion. We’re creating high‑impact youth experiences that feel more like street culture and a street wear drop, than traditional youth work.
No red tape. No corporate vibes. Just community, creativity, and real opportunities for young people.
Now we need a HR & Volunteering Director who can help us build the backbone of this movement — the people, the systems, the culture, the squad.
This Role Is About People, Purpose, and Building Something From Scratch
Urban Youth is small but mighty. We’re a start-up, and we need someone who can help us turn our volunteer energy into a powerhouse team.
You’ll be the architect of our people strategy — designing how we recruit, onboard, support, and empower the passionate humans who make Urban Youth come alive.
This isn’t HR in a corporate office. This is HR in a startup youth movement. It’s messy, creative, exciting, and full of possibility.
What You’ll Build
You’ll help us create:
-
A volunteer recruitment pipeline that attracts talent, passion, and drive
-
Onboarding experiences that feel like joining a squad, not filling out forms
-
Systems and processes that keep us organised without killing our vibe
-
A culture where volunteers feel valued, connected, and part of something bigger
-
A community of people who show up because they believe in what we’re doing
You’ll be the person who helps us turn “we need help” into “we’ve built a team.”
Who You Are
- You’re entrepreneurial.
- You’re resourceful.
- You’re the kind of person who can build a structure out of thin air and make it feel solid.
- You understand people — what motivates them, what inspires them, what keeps them committed.
- You know how to spot talent, nurture passion, and bring out the best in a team.
- You’re not scared of starting from zero.
- You thrive in environments where you get to create the blueprint, not follow one.
If you’ve ever said, “Give me a mission and I’ll build the team to deliver it,” this is your moment.
Why Urban Youth?
- Because we’re building something bold. Something fresh. Something that doesn’t look like anything else in youth work.
- We’re a startup charity with big dreams and tiny resources — which means your impact will be huge.
- You won’t just manage people; you’ll shape the culture, the community, and the future of Urban Youth.
- You’ll help build the squad that builds the movement.
Ready to shape the team that shapes the future?
- If you want to lead with heart…
- If you want to build systems that empower people, not restrict them…
- If you want to help create a youth movement from the ground up…
Urban Youth needs you.
Step up. Join the squad. Let’s build a community of passionate people who make magic happen.
To empower London’s youth through agile, short-term opportunities that build skills, social capital, and confidence via a radical, volunteer led model
