Youth Insights Coordinator

Solutions for the Planet is a social enterprise, that works to create a world where sustainable
practices are commonplace; every young person is equipped with essential skills that benefit
people and planet; and social creativity, innovation and diversity is built into every business
and workplace.

We are driven by our core values and encourage collaboration, both locally and internationally,
between young people, schools and businesses to create opportunities for young voices to not
only be heard, but acted upon.

We achieve this by inspiring new ways of thinking and behaving through partnerships between
young people, teachers and businesses, as we know this mix of knowledge, skills and passion
creates a sustainable present and future.

Through our Youth Insights programmes we use our network of over 100 schools and colleges to
bring the unique voices of young people into the heart of businesses to help future-proof their
strategies. Young people think without departmental barriers and bring actionable solutions to
some of businesses most intransigent issues now and in the future. The aim is that enduring
relationships can be formed through a S4TP Youth Insights panel – a win for business and a win
for the young people involved.

We are looking for an individual who will be driven by our mission to grow in this role as part
of the Solutions for the Planet core team.

This is an exciting time to be joining S4TP, at a time of significant growth and development,
and the candidates will require a “can-do” and “muck-in” attitude.
