Program Coordinator
Arising Youth CIC | Volunteer / Part-Time Opportunity
About the role
We are looking for an organised, proactive and creative Program Coordinator to help us turn ideas into impactful programmes for young people.
You will play a key role in taking programmes from idea → planning → coordination → delivery → evaluation. You will work closely with the Director, volunteers, partners and facilitators to make sure every programme is well organised, engaging and delivered to a high standard.
This is ideal for someone who enjoys planning, problem-solving, coordinating people and making things happen.
What you’ll be responsible for
- Develop and structure youth programmes based on identified needs and opportunities.
- Create programme plans, timelines, session schedules and delivery plans.
- Coordinate facilitators, volunteers, venues, partners and other stakeholders.
- Organise programme logistics, including resources, bookings and participant communication.
- Support recruitment and engagement of young people.
- Coordinate the delivery of workshops, events and activities.
- Keep programmes on track and ensure deadlines are met.
- Communicate with partners and programme stakeholders.
- Monitor attendance, participation and programme outcomes.
- Collect feedback and help evaluate the impact of each programme.
- Identify challenges and find practical solutions quickly.
- Prepare short programme updates and reports.
- Contribute ideas for new programmes, partnerships and ways of engaging young people.
We’re looking for someone who is
- Highly organised and able to manage multiple tasks.
- A confident communicator who can work with different people.
- Proactive — someone who sees what needs to be done and gets on with it.
- Comfortable coordinating people and taking ownership of tasks.
- Creative and able to develop engaging programme ideas.
- Reliable and able to meet deadlines.
- Confident using tools such as Microsoft Office, Google Workspace or similar.
- Passionate about creating opportunities and positive outcomes for young people.
- Ideally experienced in programme coordination, project management, youth work, community development, events or a similar area.
The person we’re looking for
You do not need to have all the answers. We are looking for someone who can take an idea and ask:
“What needs to happen to make this work?”
You should be comfortable creating a plan, bringing people together, keeping everyone on track and making sure the programme moves from an idea into something young people can actually experience.
What you’ll gain
- Practical experience in programme and project management.
- Experience working with community and corporate partners.
- Opportunities to develop and lead youth programmes.
- Experience in monitoring and evaluating social impact.
- A chance to contribute to the growth of an ambitious youth organisation.
- The opportunity to build your portfolio and professional network.
