Why Work for The Difference?
Schooling isn’t working for the children who need it most. Every week in England 109 children –
equivalent to three full classrooms – are permanently excluded. This is just the tip of the
iceberg. Since the pandemic, school suspensions have risen significantly, as has persistent
absenteeism. 1 in 5 children are missing more than 10% of their time in school. Children who
are excluded or persistently absent are much more likely to already be experiencing
vulnerability or disadvantage. They are more likely to live in poverty, have additional learning
needs, suffer mental health challenges, or experience a lack of safety outside school. Certain
ethnicities are also disproportionately affected, notably Gypsy Roma Traveller and black
Caribbean children.
Exclusion and high rates of absence can have a dramatic effect on life chances. These young
people are more likely to drop out of education or employment, become vulnerable to
long-term mental ill health, or be at risk of criminal exploitation. The Difference believes that
children and young people deserve better and that the education system has to change.
Our Organisation
The Difference is a young education charity, founded to change the story on lost learning. By
2030, we want rates of exclusion and absence to be falling nationally and for schools to be better
equipped to support all children, including those who may be vulnerable.
The Difference was born out of a year of research into school exclusions with think-tank IPPR.
This research identified a lack of inclusion expertise in schools and proposed a new leadership
development programme to fill this gap. In 2018, Difference founder Kiran hired the team who
took this idea from concept to reality, beginning work with our first schools.
The Difference is now a 22-strong team delivering multiple school leadership programmes,
alongside a growing research and policy arm. The team is supported by our Youth Advisory
Board, made up of young people who have experienced exclusion and who provide their
expertise and insights on how school inclusion work should be done. This work is needed more
than ever. Effects of COVID-19, coupled with the spiralling cost of living, have substantially
increased levels of vulnerability. Schools serving excluded pupils face under-funding. The
Difference has had excellent early impact but there is work ahead to scale this impact through
our programmes, share learning with schools and policy-makers, and grow our capacity to
lower exclusions across England.
The Task Ahead: Programme Lead
In 2019 The Difference launched their programmes working with 22 school leaders in
London. Since then we have worked with 447 school leaders nationally. We want to continue
to scale our programmes and reach more school leaders to help shape their schools practice
and systems to improve pupil wellbeing, safety and belonging. We intend to further develop
our programmes to improve inclusion in schools and successfully changing the story for
students currently struggling in school.
Key tasks for this role include:
● Deliver The Difference’s Inclusive Leadership Course to senior leaders from a
range of school settings. This takes place in venues across the country including
but not limited to the North East, North West, and the Midlands. Confidence
and passion to deliver the course to the high standards required.
● In-school support for The DIfference’s School Partnership (DSP). Delivering
across a variety of schools including mainstream secondary, mainstream
primary and Alternative Provision settings. Supporting the implementation of
key themes and content from The Difference’s Inclusive Leadership Course.
● Working closely with The Differences Research, Impact & Influencing team
members to capture case studies, research and impact metrics that demonstrate
the impact of the Difference’s programmatic work.
● Input to the evolution and development of the Difference’s programmatic offer
using insight from delivery and feedback from programme participants
● Working closely with the The Difference’s Partnership and Sales team to
support the reach and impact of the programmatic work.
Our Values
● High Expectations - We are ambitious for excellence from young people, colleagues and
ourselves. We don’t believe in writing off someone’s potential because of their identity or
experience of crisis.
● Strong Relationships - We prioritise genuine relationships over transactional interactions,
and know that this requires deliberate relational practice. We see colleagues and partners as
people first and their roles second; and know this greater trust allows us to take more risks,
gain more feedback and have greater impact.
● Internalised Locus of Control - We work hard to reframe difficult situations to discover
what we have within our power in terms of solutions. We take it upon ourselves to walk
towards challenges and can take a high level of ownership and agency in our work/
● Pragmatism - We believe leadership means recognising current limitations and striving for
improvements within and beyond them. We develop consensus and chart new ways
forward, challenging false and extreme positions like “zero exclusions” or “no excuses”.
● Scientific approach - We take a diagnostic approach to unpicking causes of problems. We
are loud and proud of our failures, recognising failing fast and often is key to finding the
best solutions. We test solutions and are willing to use data and feedback to make
adjustments and choose new directions.
● Not Squeamish about Structural Inequality - We believe patterns of inequality can and
should be disrupted. We strive to be clear-eyed about these inequalities, and both the
individual practice and system-changes required to address them. We push ourselves to
overcome awkwardness in talking about this; and begin by acknowledging our own biases
and blind spots.
● Asset-based - We work hard to avoid deficit thinking and aim to start with what’s strong, not
what’s wrong. We are careful not to frame our colleagues and stakeholders - particularly
young people and families – as victims but instead to recognise their agency.
● Wise selves - To both enjoy work and do their best, we want to make decisions and work
with others in our “wise” - or regulated - selves. We also want to bring our compassionate
self to those we work with, externally and internally, to support one another through
challenging times.
