All young people deserve a productive, fulfilling future. Society needs the spark and energy of young people to make it tick, yet somehow thousands of young people feel blocked by the complex, sometimes disheartening challenges the modern world throws atthem.

Youth work is the best methodology to unlock young people’s potential by providing high quality support and opportunities. Skilled youth workers build relationships that support young people to explore their personal, social, and educational development.Youth work enables young people to develop their voice, influence, and place within society.

As the national body for youth work, NYA has a dual function.

In line with our charitymission and aims, we also champion youth work through research, advocacy, campaigns, and programmes.

This is a pivotal role to help deliver National Youth Agency’s mission in a long term, sustainable way to improve the lives of this and future generations.

The role leads a new and expanded team whose role is to influence national and local policy to champion great youth work and its value and importance for young people across England. It requires strong relationship-building, project management, report writingand influencing skills, as well as a proven background of problem-solving and working within a complex multi-stakeholder environment.

We’re looking for an energetic leader and role model, able to organise, inspire and motivate people to achieve great outcomes; both within your own team, across the organisation and with external stakeholders. You’ll be someone who combines political nouswith a passion to achieve the best for young people.

**You will**:

- Work with the Director of Policy and Communications, the wider SLT, and key internal and external stakeholders to develop and deliver a cutting-edge policy and public affairs strategy to align with our new 5-year strategy and to raise the profile of youthwork among key decision makers
- Lead the development of stakeholder maps to identify who we need to work with or influence to achieve our mission and to amplify the voice of sector
