Youth Engagement Manager

As our Youth Engagement Manager, you will help create the conditions through which more young people, particularly those who face barriers to participation, can benefit from engagement with local heritage.

Working under the direction of the Head of Community Heritage, Inclusion and Learning, you will build relationships and partnerships across the youth sector, strengthen the capability of adults who work with young people, and work with the Place Policy teams to develop a compelling narrative about the role local heritage can play in improving outcomes for young people, including their sense of place and belonging, wellbeing, confidence and skills.

The role will support Historic England's contribution to the National Youth Strategy by translating strategic priorities, policy objectives and evidence into practical partnerships, workforce development opportunities, resources and programmes that increase opportunities for young people to engage with local heritage.

This is an enabling role rather than one focused on direct delivery with young people. The emphasis is on influencing and supporting organisations, practitioners and partners who work with young people and creating the conditions through which more young people can experience the social benefits of heritage.
