This is a full-time position
Young people in Britain are the least happy in Europe and their wellbeing is declining. We risk a “lost generation”. Addressing this requires major changes in policy.
LSE is therefore launching a major, high-pressure three-year Campaign for Youth Wellbeing to put young people’s wellbeing at the centre of policy design. The campaign will focus on people aged 5–24 and will ask for 6 guarantees on mental healthcare, schools, social media, apprenticeships and youth clubs. It will seek to secure these policy commitments ahead of the next general election, or otherwise ensure they appear in every party manifesto.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The campaign will be based at the London School of Economics and steered by a board of trustees including its founders Alastair Campbell, Gus O’Donnell and Richard Layard.
The Project Manager will support the campaign’s Director in overseeing the operation of the campaign and will have independent responsibility for managing the campaign’s finances, monitoring timelines and reporting to donors and stakeholders, while also supporting day-to-day operations and staff coordination.
Candidates Should Have
- Experience in administration or project management.
