Founded in 2011, by His Majesty King Charles III, The King's Trust Canada (formerly the Prince's Trust Canada), is a national charity that creates pathways to employment for young people facing barriers by providing free skills training, work experience and networking opportunities.
We work with leading Canadian employers, community partners, and educational institutions to advance our mission of helping 100,000 young people increase their employability.

Reporting to the Senior Manager, the Coordinator, Digital Content and Communications supports the organization’s digital presence and content delivery across social media, newsletters, the website, and other communication platforms. The role plays a key part in ensuring timely and accurate messaging, maintaining clear and organized communications systems, and contributing to the planning and execution of campaigns and announcements.
The Coordinator works closely with teams across the organization to support event promotion, brand consistency, internal resource sharing, and the ongoing upkeep of our digital tools and libraries. Responsibilities span content scheduling, visual asset development, newsletter drafting, and backend coordination to support clear and consistent communications. This role is ideal for a detail-oriented professional who enjoys balancing creative content development with clear administrative follow-through. The successful candidate will bring strong organizational skills, a keen visual eye, and a proactive, collaborative approach to supporting a dynamic and mission-driven team.
