Job description

Become Our 1st Youth Programme Lead!

Do you have experience working with young people? We're launching a new youth work charity and we need a passionate leader to guide it.

Introducing Urban Youth: Igniting Potential in Inner London

In the vibrant, fast-paced heart of London, there is a generation of young people brimming with potential, yet facing unique challenges. They are the future, but for many, the path is obscured by deprivation, isolation, and a world increasingly dominated by screens.

That's why we created Urban Youth.

We are a brand new, dynamic youth work charity dedicated to cutting through the noise and reaching the young people who need us most in Inner London's deprived areas. Our mission is simple yet profound: to move beyond passive engagement and create active opportunities that inspire, connect, and empower.

Our Vision: Moving Beyond the Screen

Urban Youth is not waiting for young people to come to us; we are meeting them where they are. We are tearing down barriers to engagement by deploying innovative, flexible youth work:

  • The Youth Bus: A mobile hub transforming spaces into instant centres of positive activity.

  • Pop-Up Hubs: Breathing new life into unused community spaces or integrating within existing centres.

  • School & College Partnerships: Working directly within educational settings and collaborating with other youth organisations to ensure seamless support.

Our Impact: Building Skills, Confidence, and Community

We believe that every young person deserves a space to discover their authentic self. Our core focus is on diversionary positive activities—experiences designed to get young people out of their homes, away from their screens, and fully engaged with their peers and the world around them.

  • Social and Life Skills: We teach practical skills, from teamwork to conflict resolution.

  • Confidence Building: We champion self-belief, encouraging young people to take positive risks and celebrate their achievements.

  • Discovery and Connection: We provide a vital sense of belonging, fostering meaningful relationships in a safe, non-judgemental environment.

At Urban Youth, our staff are more than just youth workers; they are positive adult role models—here to nurture, guide, and support. We are lighting the fuse on potential, empowering today’s youth to become tomorrow’s confident, capable, and connected leaders.

Join us as we work to transform challenges into triumphs, one young person at a time.

Skills We Need:

  • Activity Planning
  • Volunteer Management
  • People Management
  • Safeguarding
  • Training/Learning and Development
  • Much More!

Commitement:

4 Hours Per Week (Very Flexible)

Location:

Hybrid (London based charity)

Apply now and help us lead with purpose.
