JOB PURPOSE

Working closely with all members of the #iwill team, plus #iwill Ambassadors, and partners, this role enables effective, efficient, and coordinated activity across the #iWill Movement. It truly is the backbone of the team. Hosted by Volunteering Matters, the Business Support Coordinator will support the #iWill Movement’s core functions, with particular focus on supporting strategy, partnership, and communications activity, ensuring meetings, events, campaigns and wider activities are planned, coordinated and delivered to a high standard. From liaising with partners, to developing online resources, coordinating online and in-person activity, monitoring delivery, and managing financial transactions, the role supports the movement to create long lasting change via the power of youth.
This role works as part of the wider #iWill team from Volunteering Matters and UK Youth, and reports to the Head of #iWill Movement Strategy and Co-ordination.

• Be a natural connector, building relationships and alliances within the team, ambassador community, and across the movement
• Always maintain total independence in the spirit of the movement, serving young people and their youth social action first, wherever that may be.
• Be willing to enable and platform young people to tell their own stories, even if abdicating personal power.
• Ensure that young people’s views, experiences, and work is communicated clearly to wider stakeholders to inform the evolution of #iwill.

Primarily home-based, the role will require occasional travel to London, and elsewhere in the UK. Flexible working hours will be required to accommodate occasional evening sessions and in-person meetings with partners and young people.
The role requires reliable internet access, and ability to work independently whilst also part of a busy remote team. The role is part of the UK wide #iWill team and will report to the Head of #iWill Strategy and Coordination, and work closely with the Digital Communications Manager. Duties may vary in line with the needs of the Movement as appropriate.
