Maternity Cover - 12 months Full Time or 0.8 FTE (4 Days per week)

Working within our values and behavioural framework, the role involves closely managing the relationships of our partner organisations (known as Licensed Organisations - LOs) and ensuring those within your portfolio offer quality and inclusive DofE programmes to young people.

While managing these relationships, across your portfolio area you will also identify and develop new relationships with appropriate educational and community organisations to widen the access of the DofE to young people, particularly those who experience marginalisation.

You will be undertaking regular meetings, in person and virtually, engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders at different levels within different organisations across your portfolio area. 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 East Devon & Torbay.

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 has a passion for the development of young people and who will be enthusiastic, 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.

The successful applicant should live within, or very close to, the portfolio area.

**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.

A salary of **between £27,481 and £32,331 per annum (or pro-rata equivalent for part-time),** dependent on experience.

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.

(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.
