Operations Officer

The Operations Officer plays a key role in ensuring UK Youth runs smoothly and effectively, providing essential support across our systems, workplaces and day-to-day operations. Working closely with the Head of Operations and colleagues across the organisation, you’ll help create the foundations that enable our teams to deliver meaningful impact for young people. From coordinating office facilities and supporting compliance activities to improving systems and streamlining processes, you’ll be at the heart of making things work.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organised and proactive individual who enjoys solving problems, improving ways of working and building positive relationships with colleagues and external partners. Joining UK Youth means becoming part of an ambitious and values-led organisation committed to ensuring every young person has someone who believes in them. If you’re looking for a varied role where your work will make a real difference behind the scenes, we’d love to hear from you.

Four new Trustee roles

We are seeking to appoint four new Trustees in 2026 to strengthen and diversify our Board skills and characteristics, embed youth voice and support the governance of UK Youth’s new strategy.

Grants Officer

An exciting opportunity to support our grants team in delivering and distributing funding to youth organisations across the UK. The role plays a key part in ensuring grants are effectively managed and monitored, while also supporting organisations to strengthen their capacity and build long-term resilience. This is not a fundraising role, but a grant delivery role.

We are looking for candidates that are passionate about supporting youth organisations, and have experiences delivering grants at a national level.

You’ll work collaboratively across teams to ensure funding reaches the organisations that need it most and contributes to sustainable impact for young people.
