Operations Officer 12 month fixed term Cambridgeshire (excluding Peterborough)

We help young people to build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges, follow their own passions and discover talents they never knew they had. Because when you prove yourself that you’re ready for anything nothing can hold you back.
 
 Do you want to be part of that?
 
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) is a world leading youth charity which gives young people the chance to develop skills for work and life.
Our structured programmes of volunteering, physical and skills-based challenges inspire, guide, and encourage young people to widen their experiences and learn new skills.
 
Through a licensing process, we partner with youth organisations and support them in their delivery of our programmes to their young people. These organisations range from schools and colleges to local authorities, charities, secure units, and community organisations.
 
Working within our values and behavioural framework, this role involves closely managing the relationships of our partner organisations (known as Licensed Organisations – LOs) and ensuring LOs within your portfolio offer quality and inclusive DofE programmes to young people.
 
While managing these relationships across your portfolio area in Cambridgeshire (excluding Peterborough), you will also identify and develop new relationships with appropriate educational and community organisations to widen the access of the DofE to young people, particularly those who experience marginalisation.
 
You will be undertaking regular meetings, in person and virtually, engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders at different levels in partner organisations across your portfolio area. When not out at meetings, you will be working from home. 
 
Whilst you won’t be working directly with young people, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are having a positive impact on their future opportunities.
