Help shape a youth-led movement to end child homelessness within 9 years by leading insight and policy work grounded in lived experience, and supporting young people in turning their voices into powerful, evidence-backed policy change.

What difference will you make?

Your work will help ensure children experiencing homelessness in London are no longer ignored or left behind. By grounding our campaign in real evidence and young people’s voices, you’ll help us build a strong case for change that funders, councils, and politicians can’t ignore. You’ll support a group of young campaigners in taking their lived experience and turning it into real policy, empowering them to lead the conversation and shape a better system. Your insight and guidance will shape the campaign’s 9-point plan to end child homelessness within 9 years, and provide the foundation for systemic change in how child homelessness is understood and tackled across London.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone with experience in youth policy, research, or systems change – particularly someone who understands how to turn lived experience into clear, evidence-backed insight. You don’t need to be an academic or policy expert, but you should be confident supporting young people to shape narratives, produce reports or briefings, and influence decision-makers. You should be comfortable Working alongside young people, including those with lived experience of homelessness Communicating complex ideas clearly and accessibly Writing for different audiences – from councils to funders to young people Supporting small teams and working flexibly in a mostly virtual environment Running fun and engaging workshops and sessions with young people A background in youth participation, qualitative research, policy, or community organising is helpful - but equally, we welcome people from lived experience, grassroots, or campaigning backgrounds who are open to learning and guiding others. Above all, we’re looking for someone who’s values-led, inclusive, and passionate about co-creating change with young people, not for them.

What will you be doing?

We're looking for a dedicated volunteer to be our Youth Insight & Policy Lead, supporting Project 9.0, a youth-led campaign committed to ending child homelessness in London within 9 years, starting with a 9-point plan designed by young people with lived experience. You’ll work closely with our Youth Advisory Group (YAG) and Youth Ambassadors to help them shape and articulate their vision into a formal campaign plan. This includes supporting them with Collecting and interpreting insights from young people across London Developing reports, briefings, and campaign-aligned research Translating their experiences into achievable, impactful policy asks Ensuring our messaging and communications are grounded in evidence You’ll also support internal evaluation (impact stories, data collection, light analysis) to help us show why our campaign matters and how it’s working. This is a flexible role you’ll shape as the project develops, and you’ll work directly with the Project Coordinator (a young person with lived experience who leads the project). We’re a small, ambitious youth-led social enterprise with big plans and a collaborative, informal culture.
