Want to help young people speak truth to power and make positive change in their communities? Then this is the role for you.
As Programme Officer for the UK Youth Parliament and Youth Voice programme, you will be working across the team and with partners and Local Authorities to ensure that young people are supported and empowered to represent their peers and affect positive change for society. You will be working to ensure effective engagement of young people in the design and delivery of the programme, you will help to organise events (large, small, physical and virtual), coordinate democratic processes, and get involved with all activities that help to make the UK Youth Parliament the premier democratic youth representation body in the UK.
You will be a team player, ideally with experience of working with young people. You will bring your attention to detail and excellent communications skills to the table, along with a passion for youth voice. Experience of coordinating events and working with databases will be a distinct advantage.
It is a fixed term contract until the end of March 2025, renewable subject to funding.
We have a mixed model of home workers and those based in our London office, and so there is flexibility about where this post is based, including hybrid working for those based in London.
