The role
As Youth Advocacy Lead, you will develop and deliver GMYN’s new We Rise project, working alongside care-experienced and separated young people to transform housing and accommodation across Greater Manchester.
This role is about more than delivering a project. It is an opportunity to help change not just young people's lives but how an organisation listens to them. We are looking for an advocate who believes young people already have the answers; they simply need adults and organisations willing to listen, share power and act.
The role will combine direct work with young people, advocacy practice, organisational development and systems change. You will introduce and embed a self-advocacy approach across GMYN, supporting young people to understand their rights, build confidence and influence the decisions affecting their lives.
Alongside this, you will support GMYN colleagues to develop the skills and confidence to make advocacy part of everyday practice; not something that only happens when things go wrong. Working across the organisation, you will help us move from supporting young people for them to achieving change with them.
You will support young people to lead social action projects, distribute over grants through the We Rise Challenge Fund, influence regional housing reform, develop the creative projects and become the next generation of youth leaders across Greater Manchester.
This is a real opportunity to build something from the beginning and help create an organisation where advocacy is not an activity – it is simply how we work.

Lead the development and delivery of We Rise, ensuring young people are meaningfully involved learning is captured throughout the project.

Carrying out any other reasonable duties and responsibilities that contribute to the organisation's overall aims and objectives.
Person specification
-
Experience delivering advocacy or rights-based support with young people, such as care-experienced and separated young people.
-
Understanding of advocacy approaches and how they differ from advice, counselling and key work.
-
Experience supporting young people to develop and lead social action projects.
-
Experience designing and delivering participation opportunities.
-
Co-producing services or projects with young people and people with lived experience.
