The Big Lottery Fund is expected to advertise the position this week along with detailed guidance notes for organisations planning to bid.
Once appointed, the agency will have 11.5m to spend over two years to work with about 21,000 young people. Other organisations will be able to apply for funding for projects from the lead agency.
