Work For Us

• Support the delivery of youth-powered participation activities that are youth-centred, inclusive, time-bound and designed around real decision points.
• Work directly with Young Consultants, supporting preparation, access, safeguarding and follow-through.
• Uphold Participation People’s standards for ethical, trauma-informed participation, protecting young people’s wellbeing, trust and energy.
• Help ensure feedback loops are completed so young people can clearly see what changed because of their involvement — and what didn’t as well as the skills they develop by participating.

It would be helpful if you have:

• Understanding of ethical and trauma-informed practice 
• Kind, curious and courageous nature
• Experience working directly with groups of young people from a range of backgrounds, particularly in participation, youth work, research, engagement or co-production contexts 
• Organisational skills 
• Confidence in digital tools including Zoom, Miro, Slack and Hubspot 
• The ability to build trusting relationships with young people and adults 

All offers of employment with Participation People are conditional upon:

• A satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
• Satisfactory references from those named in your application.
• Evidence of relevant qualifications, where applicable.
• Evidence of right to work in the UK.

Participation People reserves the right to withdraw an offer of employment if these conditions are not met. A formal contract of employment will only be issued once all pre-employment checks have been successfully completed.
