Become an FLN Network Lead!

Opportunity

Are you a young leader aged 18-30 who likes sparking meaningful connections, bringing people together to share experiences and solve problems in their local community, and loves hosting events?

We are looking for two volunteers to join the FLN team to lead our local FLN Networks in London and the South West of England. As our Network Leads, you’ll be responsible for creating a diverse, stimulating and enriching network of changemakers in London or the South West of England.

Our Networks in Wales and Scotland are already thriving, bringing young people together for networking events, breakfast debates, keynote speakers, learning visits and conferences with government, industry and the public sector. You’ll have the opportunity to do all this and more, and to increase your own leadership experience and your network along the way.

If you believe young people have the power to change the world, and you want to bring them together to do so, this is the role for you. You can find out more about the role in the role description here.

Applications will close at 23:59 on 21st May 2022 and successful candidates will be invited to interview. We are aiming to hold interviews up until the 29th May 2022.

Because these roles will require you to be close to the networks you are building, we welcome applications from young people from all backgrounds who are normally based (for work, or because you live there) in either the South West of England or London. You will also need to be aged 18-30 through the duration of 2022, and be able to commit between 5-7 hours per week to the role.

In your application, you should refer to the Essential Criteria set out in the Network Lead Role Description. For each question, we have indicated the Essential Criteria we are looking for evidence of.

Throughout this application, you should feel free to bring evidence from all parts of your life - personal, professional, voluntary etc. There is no 'right answer' - all we're looking for is evidence against each of the Essential Criteria, which can come from any sector or any experience you have had.

You are encouraged to adopt the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) format to give evidence of specific examples when you have demonstrated the Essential Criteria. Remember to be specific about what actions you took, and the impact you had.
