Salary: £140,000 -£150,000

Location: Central London, or Hybrid

Closing date for applications: 11:59pm Sunday 8th February 2026

About the Youth Endowment Fund

We’re  here  to  prevent  children  and  young  people  becoming  involved  in

violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to

put this knowledge into practice.

Every child should grow up safe from harm. Yet far too many are drawn into

violence or live with the fear of it. This robs them of opportunity and damages

whole communities. We exist to change that — permanently. The Youth

Endowment Fund (YEF) is an independent charitable trust with a £200 million

endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young

people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works to

prevent violence and by building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.

We fund, evaluate and spread the most effective ways to protect young people

from violence. We build strong partnerships across government, charities and

communities. We work with those closest to children’s lives to make sure

decisions are based on evidence, not guesswork.

The YEF is the UK’s largest What Works Centre – finding what works and making

this change. It has very strong links across government and across the education,

youth, youth justice, policing, children’s services sectors.

This role

After six years, our founding CEO is leaving the Youth Endowment Fund. We are

looking for a new CEO who will lead the Youth Endowment Fund to achieve its

mission. We have already built a deep understanding of what works to prevent

violence, close relationships across government, a growing programme to

changing practice of those working to prevent violence and a highly skilled and

1

motivated team. We have gained the opportunity of making a lasting difference

for vulnerable children. We are looking for an exceptional Chief Executive to take

this opportunity.

Key responsibilities

You lead the organisation strategically

You set a clear direction for the Youth Endowment Fund and make sure we stay

focused on what matters most. You keep the organisation focused on our vision,

our mission and delivering the best possible strategy. You take the lead, over the

next few years, in designing YEF 2.0 – the future organisation after the initial 10-

year endowment. You make sure everyone understands how their work

contributes to that strategy and delivers on keeping children safe from violence.

You shape and model our culture

You set the tone for how we work. We are proud of YEF’s culture, values and

behaviours – making it a place that is both kind and ambitious, where people feel

backed to do great work and supported to grow. You will model and maintain this

culture – encouraging feedback, learning, delivery and collaboration so that

doing excellent work together feels natural.

You lead people, projects and governance wisely

You build and lead a brilliant senior team — one that is united, clear in purpose

and confident in delivering. You make sure that our finances are sound, our

systems are efficient and our governance is strong. You work closely with the

Board so that together we make wise and timely decisions. You ensure that we

operate with discipline and pace, managing projects well and keeping promises

to partners and to the public.

You represent YEF externally, driving change

You are a public face of the Fund and can present a trusted voice on what works

to keep young people safe. You win people over — from all walks of life — because

you listen, you care and you speak with clarity. You build relationships of trust with

Ministers, civil servants, funders, journalists, practitioners, researchers and young

2

people themselves. You make sure that when YEF speaks – including in the media

– it is with credibility, compassion and conviction.

You champion evidence and social change

You keep YEF’s commitment to evidence at the heart of everything we do. You

ensure that we remain rigorous, independent and trusted as a source of

knowledge. You help turn evidence into real-world action — supporting schools,

services, charities and government to use what works to change lives. You make

sure that our work doesn’t just generate insight; it drives change that saves lives.

You are this sort of person:

•  You are a low ego and effective leader: You have a track record of building
and leading effective teams to get remarkable things done at a very high

standard. You know how to set expectations and how to support people to

meet them. You would describe yourself as low-ego and high-standards

and you’ve built high-performing teams that meet this description. You like

managing people brighter and better than you at their roles. You address

poor performance. You work very well in a team. You like taking

responsibility for thing...
