Stevenage, Home based

If you have experience in planning and/or delivery of events or major projects and can demonstrate the ability to manage complex projects involving multiple stakeholders and competing deadlines, then read on.

We have several roles available, which fall into the following categories:

• Event planning only roles: These are home-based roles. You will need good, stable broadband, the ability to flex your diary, and ideally experience in project managing teams remotely, as well as event planning and management.
• Event delivery only roles: These roles require experience in facilitating events, ideally with young people (from primary to secondary age students). You must be willing to travel (mainly locally), have a flexible diary, and access to a car. Travel expenses and travel time (for journeys over an hour) will be paid.
• Planning and delivery roles: These combine the requirements of the above two roles.

About Us

Ahead Partnership works with employers and educators to provide services that help engage, inspire, and motivate young people around skills, career options, and future employment. Can you bring passion and individuality to our growing programmes?

We organise and deliver a range of employability and skills activities that enable young people to meet volunteers from the working world. These activities aim to raise aspirations, improve career awareness, develop essential skills, build confidence, and expand networks.

Recent years have seen us broaden our reach through hybrid delivery, with activities both virtually and in person, including interview practice and workplace visits. All activities are designed to engage the target cohort and involve hands-on, interactive experiences. We also plan and deliver large-scale flagship events themed around sectors such as digital, green, or professional and financial services, inspiring young people to explore roles in these areas through interactive and informative schedules.

Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. As our representative, you'll need to share our commitment to delivering first-class service to all involved in our activities and events.

You'll work alongside and be supported by a dedicated team passionate about making a difference and ambitious for what we can achieve.

We value diversity and inclusion in all forms and are eager to hear from people who reflect this. If you share our passion and vision but are worried about skills or experience, please get in touch — we are always interested in hearing from those who want to work with us.

We offer generous hourly/day rates. No direct experience is required, as full training will be provided. Prior experience working with young people, within education, or teaching would be an advantage.

You will need to:

• Be passionate about being part of a purpose-led business
• Bring your individuality to deliver engaging content to young people
• Embrace change and be flexible in your work approach
• Be comfortable working with a wider team and external stakeholders, including employers and teachers
