1 min read Youth Work
The charity UK Youth is looking to recruit a permanent chief executive after Ndidi Okezie’s departure from the role in January.
Ndidi Okezie was UK Youth's chief executive for five years

Since Okezie left, the role has been covered on interim basis by Vicky Browning, who is a former chief executive of charity sector leaders’ body ACEVO and spent seven years leading communications organisation CharityComms.

The charity is one of the largest youth organisations in the UK, with an annual income of £16.1m and 130 staff in the year ending March 2024 according to the Charity Commission’s register.

The charity adds that through its network of 9,000 organisations it supports more than four million young people.

It says it is looking for a CEO who can “centre young people in national conversations and decision making” as well as “forge ambitious partnerships across sectors and systems”.
