The Centre for Young Lives is seeking expressions of interest from specialist consultants who may wish to work with us as associates on future programmes delivered through our new System Innovation and Transformation Hub.  

It is our intention to build a pool of experienced consultants who we may invite to work with us as opportunities arise in the months ahead.  

Over the coming weeks we will be inviting expressions of interest in the following policy areas:

• Early years, childcare and family support
• Youth support, including Young Futures Hubs
• Inclusion in education and SEND
• Children and young people’s mental health

In the first instance we would like to hear from skilled individuals and experienced individuals who are able to support the development of Young Futures and wider youth policy and transformation.

The System Innovation and Transformation Hub aims to drive and support system change to improve life chances for children, young people and families – nationally and locally. Future projects may include delivering placebased social innovation programmes, undertaking research and strategic reviews, and providing specialist support to system and practice leaders. 

Future programmes are expected to support a wide range of strategic delivery bodies, including local authorities, health partners and integrated care boards (ICBs), and schools and trusts.

If you are interested in being considered for future associate consultant opportunities, please send your CV and a brief cover note outlining your relevant experience to recruitment@centreforyounglives.org.uk

Please note that this is an expression of interest only. We are not recruiting for any current roles, but may contact you as suitable opportunities arise.
