Proud Places Co-ordinator

We are recruiting an exciting role in our Proud Places programme! This unique programme offers young people a chance to get involved with heritage restoration projects, transforming how they understand and experience the world around them.

Founded by charity Heritage of London Trust and now in its fourth year, Proud Places has involved over 8,500 young people from alternative provision schools, young refugees & youth groups as well as mainstream primary and secondary schools. Through tailored visits to Heritage of London Trust projects and creative workshops, children develop fresh eyes on their local area and new skills. Proud Prospects, our careers' development strand, offers interview and presentation practice. The programme has had incredible impact on lives and opportunities with 100% of teachers or youth leaders seeing improvement in young people's wellbeing.
