Youth Voice Specialist

2 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom UNICEF UK Full time

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as a Youth Voice Specialist.

Children and young people are growing up, adapting to life in an ever-changing world that doesn’t always recognise their rights or listen to their voices. Digital platforms are not only a tool for advocacy, but also serve as a space for gathering, networking, and providing mutual support among young people with common interests and facing similar challenges in the physical world.

In this exciting new role, you will develop a proposition that means wherever they live, whoever they live with, however they identify, children and young people growing up in the UK can develop a relationship with UNICEF UK and see us as an organisation they want to be part of. You will work closely with the Strategic Lead - Youth Engagement to help ensure that UNICEF UK places children and young people’s voices at the heart of our work.

You will have in-depth knowledge of rights-based approaches to youth engagement because of your substantial experience working with children and young people. You will be experienced in digital platforms and be an excellent communicator.

If you think you are the right person for this role and have a passion for children’s rights and participatory practice, please apply, even if you are not able to demonstrate all the responsibilities as detailed in the job description.

Job Description

Benefits - UNICEF UK salaries and benefits are benchmarked against other organisations in the charity sector.
