Make a big impact with a dynamic small charity transforming young people’s lives in London

Construction Youth Trust is an ambitious and innovative charity whose mission to inspire and enable young people to overcome barriers and achieve their full career potential. Social mobility is at the heart of our work, and we prioritise working with young people from low-income backgrounds and those who are facing significant barriers to employment.

We help young people recognise their potential, develop their confidence and skills and discover career opportunities never previously presented to them. Through our long-standing partnerships with employers in the construction and built environment sector (over 200+ across London), we connect young people to relatable role models, world of work experiences and ultimately rewarding jobs and apprenticeships. The built environment is at the forefront of the drive towards achieving net zero and future economic growth, offering young people substantial opportunity for career progression.

We are seeking a dynamic and motivated Impact Coordinator to join our Impact Team to ensure that systems, processes, and data are at the forefront of our impact measurement and management strategies, enabling the wider team to concentrate their efforts on supporting young people to access life enhancing career opportunities.
