British Exploring Society runs programmes for young people aged 16-25, reaching out to disadvantaged young people on the margins of society. Young people are recruited individually, but principally depend on referrals from youth organisations, schools and other interested organisations who we work with as partners to ensure positive outcomes for the young people we recruit together. This postholder will lead the Young People team to ensure safe, appropriate, and empathetic recruitment and sustained engagement of young people to positively participate in our programmes.
We are looking for an energetic, outgoing, confident personality who enjoys engaging with others, who is driven by goal setting and targets. Adaptable, very organised, responds well to challenge and opportunities, with ambition and unshakeable belief in the potential of young people.
British Exploring Society actively welcomes applications from people who have significant life experience, transferable skills and are considering a career change or a change in levels of responsibility. We are an equal opportunities employer and do not discriminate on the grounds of gender identity, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, disability or age. We utilise an anonymous shortlisting process for recruitment, which means no personal data will be visible to the shortlisting panel. If you are interested in applying and require any accessibility adjustments to the interview process, please do let us know when you apply. Thank you.
