Job description

URBAN YOUTH NEEDS A LOGISTICS & OPERATIONS LEADER

STREET‑LEVEL IMPACT STARTS HERE

URBAN YOUTH is a brand‑new, high‑energy youth work charity built for the streets, the estates, the parks, and the places where young people actually live their lives. We’re a start‑up with big ambition and even bigger heart, and right now, we need someone who can help us get moving ASAP.

We’re looking for a Logistics & Operations Leader who can take charge of the practical side of our mission: the scouting, the planning, the organising, the behind‑the‑scenes magic that makes our street‑level work possible.

If you’re the kind of person who thrives on action, coordination, and making things run smoothly, this role has your name on it.

THE ROLE: LOGISTICS & OPERATIONS LEADER (VOLUNTEER)

You’ll be the engine behind our activities, the person who ensures our drops, events, outreach sessions, and community activities are safe, smooth, and successful.

You’ll lead on:

  • Scouting locations for drops, outreach, and events

  • Planning logistics for activities across different neighbourhoods

  • Coordinating equipment, supplies, and transport

  • Supporting the team on the ground during youth sessions

  • Ensuring safety, organisation, and smooth operations

  • Helping us build systems and processes as a start‑up charity

This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role where your work directly shapes how we show up for young people.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Urban Youth is building from scratch, and we need someone who can help us get off the ground fast.

Your leadership will:

  • Make our street‑level work possible

  • Help us reach young people safely and consistently

  • Ensure our events and activities run with energy and professionalism

  • Build the operational backbone of a charity that’s about to grow

You’ll be one of the people who helps turn our vision into reality.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Someone who is:

  • Organised, reliable, and calm under pressure

  • Great at planning, coordinating, and problem‑solving

  • Comfortable working in community spaces and outdoor environments

  • Excited by the idea of building systems from the ground up

  • Passionate about youth work and community impact

  • Ready to help us launch right now

You don’t need formal logistics experience, just the drive, initiative, and willingness to lead.

WHY JOIN URBAN YOUTH NOW?

Because this is the moment everything is being built.

You’ll be part of the founding team. You’ll shape how we operate. You’ll help create a youth charity that feels modern, relevant, and rooted in real communities. And you’ll be part of a movement that young people can trust, connect with, and feel proud of.

 

READY TO LEAD OUR OPERATIONS?

If you’re excited by the idea of being the person who makes things happen, the one who turns plans into action, we want to hear from you.

Let’s build something powerful for young people, together.
