We are thrilled to announce a significant step in the growth and sustainability of Refugee Youth Service: the recruitment of a new Co-CEO to join our leadership team. This role will strengthen our ability to support displaced children and young people while ensuring we remain agile in addressing the challenges and opportunities ahead.

As our activities have become increasingly focused in the UK we’ve recognised the need to enhance our leadership presence, as well as deepen our capacity in key areas such as fundraising and communications. To address this, we’ve introduced the part-time Co-CEO position, which will complement the work of our existing CEO and help build a stronger, more sustainable future for RYS.

We are delighted to welcome Jess to this pivotal role. Jess brings a wealth of experience and expertise that aligns perfectly with the organisation’s vision and goals. Her background in building partnerships, strategic development, and navigating complex financial landscapes will play a vital role in steering RYS through this critical period.

This new appointment marks an exciting chapter for RYS as we continue to advocate for the rights and wellbeing of age-disputed children and asylum-seeking youth. We look forward to sharing updates as Jess settles into her role and contributes to the impactful work of RYS. Please join us in welcoming Jess to the team!
