Do you love building relationships, bringing people together and helping young people thrive? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

At The King’s Trust, we believe every young person should have the chance to succeed. In this role, you'll play a key part in making that happen by supporting the incredible partners and volunteers who help bring our programmes to life.

No two days are quite the same, as one day you could be welcoming and training a new delivery partner, the next you might be visiting a school, supporting a volunteer event, solving a tricky challenge, or celebrating the achievements of young people who have grown in confidence and realised what they're capable of.

You’ll be the friendly face and trusted contact for our education delivery partners across Wrexham and the surrounding areas, helping them deliver our Achieve programme with confidence and impact. From providing training and resources to sharing best practice and offering guidance, you’ll ensure our partners have everything they need to create outstanding experiences for young people.

You’ll also be a support for our volunteers. Whether you’re helping someone find the perfect opportunity, supporting them throughout their volunteering journey, or ensuring they have the training and resources they need, you’ll play a big part in creating an exceptional volunteer experience. After all, great volunteers can change lives, and you’ll help make those connections happen.

Of course, every role comes with a bit of admin! You’ll keep records accurate and up to date, track activity through our CRM systems, and make sure we’re meeting funding, safeguarding and compliance requirements. Your attention to detail will help ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, allowing our programmes to shine.

We’re also looking for someone who enjoys bringing people together. You might facilitate networking sessions, encourage the sharing of ideas and best practice, help organise celebrations and end‑of‑programme events, or occasionally step in to support the delivery of sessions with young people.

We’re looking for someone who is organised, proactive and full of initiative, with excellent communication and relationship‑building skills. You’ll enjoy working with a wide range of people, from teachers and delivery partners to volunteers and young people themselves. An understanding of the education sector would be helpful, but most importantly, you’ll be passionate about supporting others and making a difference.

If you can juggle priorities, solve problems with a smile, build strong relationships and keep things moving forward (even when unexpected challenges arise), this could be the perfect role for you.

For our Youth Development Lead roles, there’s no need to upload a CV or cover letter, as we use a strengths‑based approach. Simply complete your profile, including the screening questions. If you pass the initial screening, you’ll be invited to complete an online assessment, which must be completed to be considered.

Last year, we helped more than 40 000 young people, with every three in four moving into a positive outcome for either work, education or training. Youth Development Leads play a crucial role in supporting young people, no matter their background or circumstances, to fulfil their full potential. We want to continue having a positive impact on young people’s lives and we couldn’t do this without the important work of Youth Development Leads!
