Job Description

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, exciting charity at a time of big growth.

Who we are

Go-Forward Youth was founded by care leavers to provide support to care experienced young people as they transition to adulthood and independence. Our core aim is to reduce social isolation and improve outcomes for young adults who have recently left the care system by offering a place for them to turn in moments of loneliness, crisis and celebration, and offering programmes that support them to develop the skills required for living independently. Our long-term vision is to combat the stigma that surrounds care leaving so that care leavers feel supported and empowered to achieve their ambitions without barriers to access.

What we’re looking for

We run a busy programme of social activities, personal development and employability skills training for care leavers across London.  We are looking for an experienced, highly motivated, conscientious and proactive individual with good ideas to take responsibility for the day-to-day administration of the charity.

You will be supporting our CEO in maintaining professional, robust, and efficient administrative systems and records for Go-Forward Youth.  You will have excellent organisational, literacy and numeracy skills, and great attention to detail.

You will be working in a small team with tight resources, so will be prepared to be creative in finding solutions to problems and to take on new challenges whilst working on your own initiative. 

We have no fixed views on your career path to date.  What matters more to us is the skills, experience and values you bring to the team.  If you think this might be the job for you, we'd love to hear from you.
