An exciting opportunity to make a real difference in young people’s lives - become part of an established team to inspire, motivate and engage young people, supporting their skills development. Equipping our future workforce for work and life.
‘Employers are from Mars, Young People are from Venus’ was a conclusion the CIPD made in their research paper when discussing the mismatch of employers expectations of young people in the recruitment process and young people’s understanding of what employers are looking for. This is something we at NYBEP are very passionate about, believing every young person should have the opportunity to learn and develop the transferable skills they need to progress in work and life.
Funded in partnership with Anglo American and The Woodsmith Foundation, the Achieve Programme is dedicated to equipping disadvantaged young people in the region with the support, skills, and connections they need to reach their full potential.
NYBEP is looking for a passionate and organised Achieve Project Adviser to lead a careers-focused extracurricular programme supporting students in the Achieve cohort across North Yorkshire secondary schools. Your work will help young people build confidence, develop essential skills, and explore pathways to education, training, and employment — supporting their personal development and aspirations every step of the way.
You’ll coordinate and deliver a rich variety of activities that boost aspiration, employability, and engagement—including:
✨ Work experience and industry-led projects
✨ CEIAG group guidance sessions
✨ Employability and life skills workshops
✨ A university-based residential experience
✨ Social action projects and family events
✨ AQA certification and celebration events
This is a meaningful opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young people who need it most. Joining a values-led, supportive team dedicated to removing barriers for success and opening doors to opportunities. Creating brighter futures through real-world experiences and mentoring through an inclusive, flexible delivery programme.
Ideal candidates will be:
✨ Passionate about empowering young people, particularly those who are disadvantaged or facing barriers to learning.
✨ Experienced in working directly with young people in education, careers guidance, or youth work settings.
✨ Skilled in building positive relationships and creating inclusive, supportive environments where young people can thrive.
✨ Organised and capable of managing projects involving multiple stakeholders.
✨ Strong communicators, able to engage confidently with young people, professionals, and partners.
NYBEP is a not-for-profit organisation that develops, nurtures and grows the talent of young people, supporting them towards successful futures. We work in partnership with schools, colleges, higher education and employers to deliver quality-assured learning programmes, promote work-related learning and employability, and connect education with the world of work to develop the workforce of the future and inspire young people to succeed.
Whilst this role is based on the North Yorkshire Coast, our office is based in York with easy access and free parking.
No candidate will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we’ve identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we’d love to learn more about you!
