Would you like to enable young people growing up in challenging and dynamic environments to feel inspired, supported, happy and safe Do you want to be the change And proud to work for an organisation that in 2019, was named North West Charity of the YearWere seeking an exceptional individual to take up the reins as CEO to enable Manchester Youth Zone to continue to provide and build on the high standard of provision its developed over the years and lead the organisation as it enters a new phase post Covid-19 and beyond.Talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not. Since our beginnings in 2012, when we were established as an independent charity under the OnSide Network, we have had one simple belief, that all young people should be able to access the same opportunities. Our charitable aims are to provide young people aged 6-19, up to 25 with additional needs, with the tools to raise their aspirations, enabling them to choose a positive, independent lifestyle by offering: Somewhere to go, something to do, and someone to talk to. We continue to be a member of the OnSide network and seek to learn from other similar organisations.The breadth of what we do has expanded dramatically since we began working in North Manchester - we continue to offer a safe space for young people to thrive, whilst simultaneously creating links across the city, ensuring that North Manchester is recognised for all the right reasons, highlighting the issues surrounding child criminal exploitation across the region and implementing programmes which have a significant impact in reducing the vulnerabilities of young people. In these strange times we have taken our delivery online - offering a Virtual Youth Zone. What separates us from most Charities is our Northern soul, our Manchester grit, perseverance, persistence and our inability to accept defeat. We are relentless in our pursuit of a level playing field for all young people and we wont stop until we get there.Importantly, Manchester Youth Zone acts as the "Prime Contractor and Accountable Body" for the North Manchester Youth Partnership - a cohort of organisations with the objective to ensure that there is a co-ordinated youth and play offer across North Manchester, and an aim to attract other funding to North Manchester to enable the partnership to address issues that prevent young people realising their potential. Last year this amounted to around £350,000 of resource being made available. The approach is a real partnership of action and thought, and Manchester Youth Zone plays a critical part in articulating the needs of young people in this place-based approach and in working with other partners to design and deliver solutions.At the heart of what we do is our passion to make a difference for young people and to inspire them to become part of the success story which is Manchester. We are only 3 miles from the city centre, yet a significant number of our young people do not feel connected to the city. In all that we do, we seek to align young people, who are often the most marginalised with the opportunities that are available to them, with the right support - raising aspirations and hopes for their futures.MYZ is based in Harpurhey, a ward rated 2nd in England for the effect of long-term deprivation on children and young people. Many in the surrounding area are vulnerable and living in challenging circumstances, often with poor role models and with low expectations about what life will bring, as evidenced by the statistics below:
