SalaryEach year, Young Enterprise helps thousands of young people develop the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed. Through our nationwide enterprise and financial capability programmes, we give young people the opportunities and experiences to discover who they are and what they’re good at. Since Young Enterprise was founded, we have provided 7.2 million young people with such opportunities, and 1.1 million young people have started Young Enterprise businesses.
It is a really exciting time to join us as CEO of Young Enterprise. Last year, we celebrated our 60th anniversary and developed a new strategy to increase access to financial and enterprise opportunities for those in greatest need. As our new CEO, you will lead a highly motivated staff and volunteer group to deliver our 2024-2030 strategy, with the opportunity to make the role your own and to continue to build a culture that embraces innovation in responding to the changing needs of young people and educators.
We are looking for leaders with executive level experience to lead and motivate our staff and volunteers, with the strategic ability to deliver our strategy, and the business acumen required to run our Charity. We are looking for candidates who have strong communication skills to represent, and build the profile of, the Charity, as well as build effective funding relationships and partnerships with a wide range of stakeholders. We will be looking for those who have an appreciation of the education environment in which we operate and a commitment to the powerful role education - in all forms - can make to the futures of young people alongside the important contribution we are making to social mobility.
Young Enterprise continues to prioritise increasing access to opportunity for young people who experience the greatest barriers to social mobility and are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in our own organisation. We welcome applications from all backgrounds.
