Education & Employers Charity

Education and Employers is a national charity that was launched in 2009 with the aim of ‘ensuring that every school and college has an effective partnership with employers to provide its young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential and so to secure the UK’s future prosperity’. The charity works to achieve this by working in close partnership with leading national bodies representing schools, colleges and employers.

The Charity runs several volunteer programmes in addition to Inspiring Governance ; Inspiring the Future, Inspiring Women and Primary Futures uses a bespoke match-making technology which connects state schools and colleges with employers and people from the world of work.

The charity also undertakes research on education and employer engagement. Our pioneering research has led the way in improving the quantity, quality and relevance of research into employer engagement in education and is now quoted through government policy and by other key practitioners.

Governance Programmes

Education and Employers is the lead contractor for two governance programmes:

1. The Inspiring Governance Service recruits skilled volunteers across England and matches them (via the technology Platform) to identified board vacancies. The programme is delivered with the National Governance Association, who provide training and support to those placed into governance roles. A regional team works across England to recruit volunteers (primarily working with business and professional networks and large employers) and generate interest from recruiters to register their vacancies with the programme. The programme is delivered for, and funded by, the Department for Education and will initially be delivered over a 4-year period from September 2016.
2. The Inspiring Further Education (FE) programme recruits skilled volunteers across England and matches them (via the technology Platform) to identified board vacancies. Board vacancies for FE are more akin to Non-Executive Director roles and from this programme perspective at this stage are primarily from Further Education Colleges but can also be with other smaller further education providers (such as adult further education providers). The programme is delivered for, and funded by, the Education and Training Foundation and has run since April 2017, initially on a one-year contract which has been renewed for a further year until March 2019.

The Governance programmes are delivered by a team made up of London based and regional staff.

About the wider Education and Employers Charity

Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details here.

The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work.

Over 55,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 80% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee.  There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring.

Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns such as Inspiring Women and others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 4,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please click here.  All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 1.8 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place.

In partnership with the National Governance Association the charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement.

Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.

Head of Service - Permanent. Full time / part-time (28 – 35 hours ) Flexible working negotiable. 

Come and lead the growth and development of our service. Reach connects people who want to volunteer their professional skills with charities that need those skills. Every year our online service matches a growing number of charities with trustees and skills-based volunteers. This is an interesting and wide ranging role, managing an innovative and successful service with plenty of potential to extend and deepen its impact. 

Reach Volunteering  

Reach Volunteering is the leading skills-based volunteering charity in the UK and the single biggest source of trustees. We help charities to strengthen their governance by broadening the range of experience on their board. We support them to increase their operational capacity and capability by drawing in specialist expertise on a voluntary basis. Since we took our service online in 2015, we have doubled our impact. Last year over 1,300 trustees and volunteers were appointed through our service, and this year we expect to exceed 1,700. We use a service design approach to improve our service and we pride ourselves on being a ‘user-centred’ organisation. 

The role  

The head of service role is a new position. It will bring focus, structure and momentum to our service and add strategic capacity to our team.

You will have overall responsibility for the management of the service, including the staff and volunteer service team. You will be responsible for all (non digital) aspects of delivery, such as managing the staff and volunteer service team, refining policies and procedures, and collecting and analysing performance and outcome data. You will develop and oversee partnerships that increase our engagement with charities and volunteers, or generate income, or both.  

We have a very collaborative culture. You will be working closely with the CEO to agree priorities, with the head of digital, who leads the service design process, and with the head of marketing and communications. You will lead on, or contribute to, specific projects, for example, a programme to increase regional take-up, or a design-led research project on skills-based volunteering.  

You will deputise for the CEO, represent Reach at external events and contribute to thought leadership on skills-based volunteering and trustee recruitment.  

Who we are looking for  

We are looking for someone with the following experience, skills and knowledge.

• Service management: proven track record in managing a service successfully, including managing a team, setting and meeting targets and developing policies and procedures.
• Partnerships: experience in developing and managing strategic partnerships with a range of organisations. 
• Strategic thinking: ability not just to see the big picture, but to join the dots between pictures – to see how links can be made to continuously build success and achievement for Reach, our service users and the wider sector.
• Analytical: Ability to analyse complex data, and draw on your analysis, and insights from our user research, to inform decision making and guide continuous improvement of our service.
• Learning: appetite to learn new skills and ways of working, with enthusiasm to get stuck in at both strategic and nitty-gritty implementation levels.
• Collaboration: deeply collaborative and collegiate in approach, respecting contributions of staff and volunteers, and partners.
• Charity sector experience: an understanding of the needs of the non-profit/charity sector.

Why join Reach 

• We have a collaborative, friendly and supportive culture. You will be encouraged and supported to take risks and to learn and develop, and you will enjoy plenty of autonomy.  
• You will be able to draw on the expertise and enthusiasm of a team that has embedded service design approaches, and be supported by an organisation that has a user-centred mindset. There is a lot of potential to widen and deepen our impact, so you will be able to make a big difference to our organisation and to the charity sector as a whole.  
• You will be joining a small, but well-respected, national charity working at sector level to address key issues such as trustee recruitment, board diversity and organisational capability. This is an opportunity to genuinely influence and shape the future of the sector by supporting key volunteering and governance infrastructure. 
• We can offer flexible working. This role is offered at 28 – 36 hours. Other options for flexible working are negotiable.  
• Other benefits include 26 days annual leave, plus three bonus days at Christmas (plus Bank Holidays); up to six days volunteering leave per annum and pension contributions at 5 per cent.

About the charity

Social entrepreneurs co-founded WE and WE Charity, an international charity and educational partner, 20 years ago. They have grown it into a family of organisations across a number of countries, linked by their shared mission: WE makes doing good, doable.

WE Schools are academic programmes run in schools globally, including 3,000 primary and secondary schools in the UK. The programmes give children (and their teachers) the skills, knowledge and motivation to bring positive change in themselves and the world. The WE Schools programme is proven to increase academic engagement, active citizenship and university and workplace readiness. 

WE Villages is a five-pillar international development model bringing positive change in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Through education, water, health, opportunity and food programmes, WE tackle poverty holistically and for sustained change in the communities in which they work. The impact is impressive and is a useful tool to showcase their work. 

WE Day is a celebration of the WE movement, and an opportunity to celebrate the young people who have made a difference. It is truly unique: you can’t buy a ticket, you must be invited, and it attracts world-renowned speakers, performers, celebrities and real-life impact stories. From a fundraising perspective, WE Day is also a useful hook for potential partners.

Virgin Atlantic funded the establishment of WE Charity’s London office almost 10 years ago. Corporate and foundation support continues to make up most of the UK voluntary income, such as the Virgin Atlantic Foundation, the #iwill Fund, Boots, Unilever and the Rumi Foundation. Income has hovered around the £3m mark for the past four years, but with some contracts coming to an end in 2021, a bigger focus is needed on new business development in the coming years. Targeting large global brands is key.

Job description

WE Charity are looking for a Director of Business Development to manage a Business Development Manager. Together you will be responsible for all prospecting, new approaches, networking, pitching and securing of new significant corporate partnerships. Some of this will be foundations work, but mostly you will be looking at marketing or strategic partnerships.

The charity have some fantastic products. These include Track Your Impact, a fantastic tool which means consumers can purchase a CRM product (either made through the WE social enterprise, or one of the retailer’s own products), as well as WE Day (see above).

The pipeline has been established, with five or six potential partners which look promising, and a wishlist of ideal partners. The team are organised and meticulous with their pipeline tracking on Salesforce, so the new Director of Business Development should be able to get to grips with ongoing conversations quickly. The postholder will start working on big and long-term prospects, rather than going after quick wins straight away.

WE Charity need a first-rate specialist fundraiser to help them on their journey. They expect to continue the rapid trajectory of growth, and in years to come this role could also oversee wider fundraising elements, including statutory, trusts and foundations, and philanthropy.

The Director of Business Development should be personally leading new business development, and ideally will be out at meetings, pitches and/or networking opportunities as much as possible. Some leads will be warm (made through connections, major donor work, trustees, founders and Canadian contacts) but the postholder needs to be equally comfortable going after cold prospects if there is a strategic fit. The role is very senior in order to be able to have the gravitas and confidence to negotiate and influence at C-suite level.

Candidate requirements

Experience

• Significant experience of corporate partnerships/CSR
• Track record of securing significant partnerships, ideally global
• Exceptional pitching and presenting skills
• Competent networker and relationship builder
• Comfortable with travel

Personality

• Highly proactive and self-starting
• Collaborative and flexible
• Enjoys prospecting opportunities
• Professional
• Adaptable
• Cause-driven

WE Charity is a vibrant, purpose-driven, fast-paced, highly dynamic organisation. It is successful around the globe but has retained its start-up feel. The charity aims high, is run by highly influential founder-directors, and has a strong mission and ambitious culture.

Having been founded by a 12-year-old who was frustrated at the responses to his ideas for good, there is a culture of collaboration and encouraging ideas. Confident, intelligent, creative individuals thrive in this environment.

The Director of Business Development will visit international work in the field a few times a year, as well as meetings in North America. They will also be asked to spend some time at the WE global headquarters in Toronto, Canada at the beginning of their employment, for training and induction.

To apply for this role, please click Apply with Charityjob to submit your CV to Emily Birch at QuarterFive Fundraising Recruitment. If your experience is a good fit, we will send you a job description and arrange a briefing call or meeting that will provide you with all the information required to formally apply. QuarterFive aims to proactively support your job search, so we may also consider your details for other job vacancies to enable us to find a position that is most suitable for you.
