Job description

VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR — URBAN YOUTH

YOUTH WORK. ANYWHERE. FOR EVERYONE.

Urban Youth is building a movement — fast, flexible, street‑level youth work that drops into the heart of London. Pop‑ups. Creative sessions. Life‑skills. High‑octane youth work delivered by skilled, passionate volunteers.

To make that happen, we need someone who can bring people together, build culture, and turn a group of volunteers into a squad.

We’re recruiting our Volunteer Coordinator — a founding role for someone who loves people, thrives in organised chaos, and wants to help build something from the ground up.

WHAT YOU MIGHT BRING

You don’t need every skill — we’re building a team, not searching for superheroes. But you might have experience in:

  • Volunteer Management

  • HR / People & Culture

  • Youth Work / Youth Services

  • Coaching, Mentoring or Personal Development

  • Safeguarding & Compliance

  • Community Development

  • Events & Programme Delivery

  • Partnerships & Collaboration

  • Training & Learning

  • Digital Tools & Volunteer Systems

  • Or something else we haven’t thought of yet

If you care about young people, can support and challenge constructively, and love building positive team culture — we want to hear from you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Recruit, welcome and onboard new volunteers

  • Build a fun, supportive, high‑energy team culture

  • Coordinate rotas, roles and responsibilities

  • Support volunteers during sessions and pop‑ups

  • Make sure safeguarding and safety standards are followed

  • Help volunteers grow through training, coaching and feedback

  • Celebrate wins, boost morale, and keep the squad connected

  • Work with the wider team to deliver exciting youth programmes

  • Be the heartbeat of the Urban Youth volunteer movement

WHAT MATTERS MOST

  • YOUR ENERGY.
  • YOUR PEOPLE SKILLS.
  • YOUR ORGANISATION.
  • YOUR ABILITY TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS.
  • YOUR COMMITMENT TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

Urban Youth is built on momentum, culture and connection — and the Volunteer Coordinator is right at the centre of that.

THE OFFER

A few hours a week. A big opportunity to shape a brand‑new youth movement. A chance to build a team, build community, and build impact.

Help us create youth work that’s visible, vibrant and unmissable.

JOIN US.

Become the Volunteer Coordinator for Urban Youth. Help us build the squad that makes everything possible.
