Youth Support Co-ordinator, The National Youth Orchestra

Full-time, permanent contract
£28,644 per annum

NYO is the UK's leading organisation championing orchestral music as a powerful agent for teenage development. We activate teenagers' confidence, optimism and skills to play their part in the world today, through performing and sharing extraordinary music.

We are looking for a Youth Support Co-ordinator to help deliver pastoral care and safeguarding across NYO's national programme. This role is central to ensuring that young people feel happy, listened to and secure while participating in NYO activities. It blends practical organisation, careful administration and a young person-centred approach to embed NYO's ethos into every aspect of delivery.

You will coordinate our freelance Support Team, and provide administrative and logistical support for youth-facing activities. You'll be confident handling conversations with teenagers and their parents/carers, managing sensitive information with discretion, and supporting travel, accommodation and project logistics. You will also assist with casework administration, help deliver care plans with the NYO Nurse and project leads, and ensure accurate record-keeping.

This is an excellent early-career opportunity to play a key role in supporting young people's wellbeing and development through music. You'll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, and be a visible, supportive point of contact for young people and staff on the ground.

At the National Youth Orchestra, you'll work as part of a supportive, friendly, and adventurous staff team. Learning and personal growth are intrinsic to every role. Our central London offices are a hive of activity, a space for collaboration and ideas. Hybrid working is standard for most roles, with a flexible and supportive culture. NYO offers a cycle-to-work scheme, health cash plan, retail and entertainment discounts, and a 24/7 counselling and support helpline.

Deadline for applications: 10am, Monday 12 January 2026
