About Aston-Mansfield

Aston-Mansfield is a charity with a rich history of supporting children, young people, and families in East London since 1884. Based in Manor Park, the organisation focuses on four key areas: children and families, youth empowerment, mental health and well-being, and community development.

Our work with young people includes training workshops, mentoring, youth-led heritage programmes, and other initiatives that help young people build confidence, develop decision-making skills, foster social inclusion, and improve well-being. We are passionate about amplifying youth voices, encouraging young people to join our board as Young Trustees and take on paid Young Facilitator roles to develop their leadership and delivery skills.

Our two most current young adult programmes include:

New Voices for Old Stories is our youth-led heritage project which supports young people in investigating our heritage and the heritage of the area and reframing old stories from the past 100 years into new voices.

Breaking Boundaries: Aims to reduce loneliness and isolation and build stronger relationships across different communities. At the same time, the project will focus on increasing the social mobility of young people from disadvantaged and low socioeconomic backgrounds. This will be achieved by employing 16 Young Facilitators in key leadership roles as well as engaging 160 young people as Changemakers, providing training and development through learning days and Action Learning Sets using external free lancers.

This programme will have an integrated and community-focused approach, alongside the development of Young Facilitators to lead the project. Breaking Boundaries will build on Aston-Mansfield’s existing work and create a safer, happier, and more connected Newham for young people and the wider community.

Purpose of the Role

The Youth Coordinator will coordinate and deliver quality youth sessions and programme activity across Aston-Mansfield youth programmes. You’ll help create safe, engaging spaces, support Young Facilitators progression, and ensure sessions run smoothly working closely with the Youth Manager and wider team.

This role is a mix of hands-on youth work and practical coordination (registers, referrals, comms, session planning, partner support, and making sure the programme is well organised and consistent).
