South Gloucestershire, United Kingdom The Duke of Edinburgh Award Full time

We help young people to build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges, follow their own passions and discover talents they never knew they had. Because when you prove yourself that you’re ready for anything nothing can hold you back._
- Do you want to be part of that?_

**The Role**

As an Operations Officer, you will support the operational delivery and development of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) through managing a portfolio of Licensed Organisations (LOs). These LOs are mostly schools but we also work with other organisations such as colleges, local authorities, and community groups.

The role will be field-based, and you will be expected to visit organisations within your portfolio regularly. When not attending meetings, employees work from home where you will need to have an appropriate home office set up and live within, or very close to, the portfolio area of Swindon and Southern Gloucestershire. (please refer to the portfolio map in the job pack).

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 future opportunities.

**What we are looking for**:
We are looking for a team player who is enthusiastic and proactive in their approach. Someone who has a passion for the development of young people, who can engage and influence a variety of stakeholders and who will be an authentic ambassador for the DofE.

You will need to have outstanding communication and interpersonal skills to engage with internal and external stakeholders and have the skills to inspire and influence them to enable young people to participate in DofE.

We are looking for someone who is flexible in their approach, has a positive outlook and who will actively contribute to our team.

**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, 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.

**How to apply**

If you feel excited by this role and believe you have the necessary skills and experience to become a valued team member, please go to our website and apply.

**Interviews will take place on: Tuesday 2nd April in person (Gloucestershire area venue TBC) or virtually via Teams.**

The DofE are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people. All successful applicants will be required to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. (e.g. DBS/PVG or similar), including references, checks covering any gaps of employment/education, confirm the ability to work in the UK and 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.
