10d • Remote

About The Position

Here at Youth4Youth, we have built a strong, tight-knit community of individuals passionate about making a difference and improving the lives of young people across the UK. Our growing team of volunteers all contribute significantly to the impact we have as a charity on our direct beneficiaries, regardless of the department they work in or the time they are able to commit. Our services primarily offer a peer-support network to young people across the UK, allowing them to access a peer mentor of a similar age who they feel more comfortable speaking with. If successful, you will be joining a growing team of diverse but like-minded individuals, collaborating to increase the Charity's reach and improve the support available to young people. All of our volunteers and employees are remote workers, but that doesn't stop us from keeping in touch and maintaining a strong, positive culture amongst our whole team. About the role Lead Y4Y’s strategic communications and digital presence during a transformational growth phase. Following our 15th Anniversary and the launch of our digital Chat Portal, this role owns our brand narrative, drives user engagement for our out-of-hours safety net, and amplifies our commercial and advocacy initiatives.

Requirements

• Proven track record in marketing strategy, digital communications, or PR (agency or in-house).
• Strong understanding of digital tools, social platforms, and brand storytelling.
• Ability to craft persuasive, impact-driven messaging that avoids "begging bowl" tone.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute an integrated comms strategy promoting Y4Y’s digital mentoring, commercial ventures (Y4Y UniHub, Everyone Feels), and the Changemaker Programme.
• Drive high-converting digital marketing campaigns across web, social, and email channels to reach both young people in need and key corporate/funder audiences.
• Collaborate with our Board Trustee (PR/Crisis Lead) to secure national and local media coverage, positioning Y4Y as a thought leader in early-intervention mental health.
• Monitor engagement analytics across digital touchpoints to optimise messaging, grow our subscriber base, and support fundraising efforts.

Benefits

• Professional and personal development opportunities in a variety of skill areas through volunteering in real roles. This may be general development or tailored to your specific needs or ambitions
• Becoming a member of a strong network of like-minded individuals, spread across the UK, with whom you can connect and collaborate both within and outside of the Charity
• Access to bespoke discounts, specifically designed for non-profit workers and Youth4Youth volunteers
• Opportunities to truly shape the future of the Charity, having a direct influence over the impact that Youth4Youth has on its direct beneficiaries
