digital development officer

This is a part-time student placement (2025–26) is open to London-based university students on a formal placement year. It’s a voluntary, unpaid role, but you’ll still be eligible for your full maintenance loan.

  • Mostly remote but with some travel and in-person work across London

  • Begins September 2025 and finishes in August 2026

  • This role is flexible, so you can pick when you work so long as you get things done. There may be some things you need to attend, and we’d expect you’ll be contributing around 3 days a week

  • This role is an unpaid Type B placement, supporting the welfare of children and young people, and so keeps you eligible to apply for the full maintenance loan

  • You must be enrolled on a relevant course in a university based in England and expected to go on a placement year from September or October 2025

About the role

This role is all about building the digital side of EG. You’ll help create and improve our website, work on The Endz App MVP, and bring new tools to life that make it easier for young people to get help, opportunities, and support. You’ll be the go-to person for anything techy – but don’t worry, we’re not expecting a software engineer.

You’ll be part of our 2025/26 placement team with two other students, helping us grow EG while gaining solid experience on real projects that actually matter – like Project 9.0 and our new digital platform launches.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Helping build our Endz App MVP (using no-code tools like Glide or Flutterflow)

  • Improving our website and making sure everything runs smoothly

  • Supporting our digital tools (from simple forms to donation systems)

  • Making our platforms more accessible, youth-friendly and safe

  • Working with the team to test new features and take on feedback

  • Helping shape how we show up digitally as a youth-led org

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has some tech or digital knowledge (but doesn’t need to be a pro)

  • Can learn new tools quickly and solve problems

  • Wants to make a difference through digital work

  • Is proactive and independent, but also a team player

  • Understands or wants to understand how young people use tech

Bonus points if you:

  • Know how to use Squarespace, WordPress, Flutterflow, or Figma

  • Care about accessibility, inclusion and ethical tech

  • Have any experience building websites, apps, or digital projects

  • Have some programming/coding experience

  • Are into youth voice, community-led tech or digital storytelling

What you’ll get out of it:

  • Experience working on real digital platforms from scratch

  • The chance to shape how we reach and support young people

  • Skills that’ll stand out on your CV

  • Mentoring, training, and solid references

  • A flexible, creative environment where you can grow
