Powys, United Kingdom The Duke of Edinburgh Award Full time

**Who are we?**

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) is a world leading youth charity which gives young people the chance to develop skills for life and work.

We believe that anything is possible, and the possibilities are endless. The positive effects of the DofE are proven and far-reaching. Communities are enriched with passionate and driven volunteers, businesses benefit from work-ready, competent recruits and young people are given the confidence to shine.

**The Role**

We are looking for an enthusiastic, proactive, and effective team player to help us to give more young people from across Wales the chance to take part in the DofE, particularly those from diverse and marginalised backgrounds.

You will be working alongside a team of Operations Officers, supporting, inspiring and guiding DofE leaders to ensure a consistent and quality experience for the young people that they support. You’ll be managing a portfolio of existing partners in Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Powys, and also Welsh Language Development Wales wide.

You will be home based, but there will be a mix of face to face and online interactions and, as the role has a **wide geographical area** you’ll need to be prepared to travel and stay overnight on occasions, sometimes weekends.

Whilst you won’t be working directly with young people, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are having a positive impact on their opportunities.

The DofE Award is a game-changer. We know that perseverance and passion for long-term goals is linked to success in education, life and work. Our structured programme of volunteering, physical and skills-based challenges inspire, guide and support young people to achieve.

**What will you get in return?**

The opportunity to work for a successful and dynamic charity that has the development of young people at its heart and the wellbeing and development of its people constantly in focus.

You will be joining a team of empowered colleagues working together.

From day one we offer excellent staff benefits including a generous pension contribution, an employee assistance programme, healthcare cash plan and volunteer leave. Also, 25 days holiday (pro rata), plus Bank Holidays and an additional 3 days paid leave between Christmas and the New Year.

Through our Flexible Working policy, the DofE provides an opportunity to work flexibly to meet yours and our business needs.

**A full job description can be viewed below along with Welsh versions.**

If you are excited about the prospect of working for the DofE and believe you have the desired skills and experience to make a real success of this role, then we are keen to hear from you.

**Closing Date**: Midnight 28th of February 2024

**First Interviews**: w/c 4th of March 2024 virtually via Teams.

(e.g. DBS/PVG or similar), including references covering any gaps of employment/education, confirm eligibility to work in the UK and complete a health check.

The DofE charity works with organisations across the UK to help young people gain essential skills, experience, confidence and resilience to successfully navigate adult life.
