The Jack Petchey Foundation is a dynamic Foundation, set up in 1999 by Sir Jack Petchey CBE to inspire and motivate young people and to celebrate their achievements. To date, the Foundation has invested over £180 million in young people across London and Essex. We do this through a range of programmes including our Achievement Awards, our Partnership Programmes and our Internship Programme.
In 2024, the Jack Petchey Foundation proudly celebrated its 25th Anniversary, marking 25 years of empowering young people and recognising their achievements. Over 250,000 young people have been honoured with the Achievement Award during this time, a milestone made possible thanks to the dedication of scheme coordinators. In total, over 1.3 million young people have directly benefitted from our programmes.
We are now looking to appoint to the new senior role of Director of Communications and Engagement. Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, you will steer our communications, PR, marketing, and events to boost our reach and visibility and amplify the voice of young people. As a member of the Executive Team, you will play a crucial role in delivering our new, ambitious strategy, raising our profile and ensuring that we, and the young people and partners we work with, have the greatest possible positive impact through our work.
Strong candidates will have a deep commitment to providing inclusive opportunities for young people, and a significant track record of leading an impactful communications, engagement and public affairs function. Knowledge of youth policy is desirable but not essential. You will bring strategic vision, evidence of managing stakeholder relationships at the highest level, and a track record of delivering high-profile impact through your communications work.
The Foundation has a strong commitment to ensuring that young people are at the centre of our work, that their voices are heard, their views communicated, and their leadership supported. This is an exciting time to join our team as we embark on a new three-year strategy.
