The Abbey Community Association is a charity operating out of a large community centre and hub in the heart of south Westminster, bringing together local people and organisations to address local community needs. We are currently recruiting for a part-time Employment Support Officer, as part of our Women Off to Work (WOW) programme funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.

This is a holistic training and “into-work” programme for women in south Westminster and neighbouring areas, particularly those of Muslim and Arabic-speaking backgrounds.

• Associate (paid internship) 
• 6-month contract; with permanent potential
• Part time (25 hours per week across 3-4 days)
• Street Child London Office

 Street Child are delighted to launch the next round of our associate scheme, with up to 6 placements available for outstanding, highly motivated individuals looking to launch, or progress, a career in the humanitarian/development sector. The Street Child associate programme is a fantastic entry-level opportunity to gain a breadth of experience whilst making a serious contribution to one of the UK’s fastest growing international development organisations - at a crucial time. 

 This is not an internship where you ‘do the photocopying and make the tea’. You will be doing important, varied, hands-on work from day one. Moreover, Street Child has an unparalleled track-record of rewarding outstanding associates with permanent positions in the UK team; and/or the opportunity to be seconded to one of our country programmes, for those considering a field-career in humanitarian/development. 

Associates will have the opportunity to build skills and experience across a breadth of core fundraising disciplines, as well as excellent exposure to the broader programmatic work of the charity, with opportunities for engagement. Key duties may include; supporter engagement; participant support & management (for our events & sponsored challenges); community outreach; data management and administration; research; proposal drafting, design and writing. Prior experience in any of these areas is not essential but would be beneficial. What is essential is demonstrating outstanding aptitude, passion, and the desire to make an impact and progress your personal development, fast. Training is provided.

This is a demanding role (lots of adverts say this, to be clear: here it is true) - and is suited to passionate, ambitious individuals who enjoy being busy, stretched and working hard (actually – again these are not just trite advert lines; this opportunity is only appropriate for those for whom this is accurate!). 

Associate roles are paid at the appropriate National Minimum Wage rate and we initially expect 25 hours per week across 3-4 days, during the first 3-months. This arrangement may be positively reviewed at the 3-month stage, especially in the case of excellent performance. 

You would be primarily working from our Central London office (as COVID-restrictions allow) – but other arrangements can be considered for exceptional candidates. 

Key requirements: 

• Demonstrable passion for, and desire to build a career in, the international development/humanitarian sector; 
• Excellent inter-personal and communication skills; 
• Strong organisational abilities; 
• Super flexible, willing attitude - will excel at frequently moving between different tasks, as business needs dictate. 

 Strong academic results and qualifications (e.g. a relevant Masters) are naturally a significant advantage – but we will absolutely consider all engaging, passionate applications. Candidates who demonstrate superb writing abilities will be prioritised. 

Diversity is important to us at Street Child. We especially welcome applications from, and expect to offer a number of associateships to, candidates with backgrounds typically under-represented in the sector and/or reflect the communities we seek to serve.

About Street Child 

Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic and structural issues that underpin today’s education crisis. We partner with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world’s toughest places where others won’t, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Since 2008 we have helped over 650,000 children to go to school and learn. 

How to Apply 

To apply for this fantastic opportunity, please send us your CV and a compelling covering letter as a combined/single document (max 3-pages) ASAP. We are selecting candidates for assessment and interviews on a rolling basis. Whilst later start dates will be considered, priority will be given to candidates able to start in late February or March.

Diversity is important to us at Street Child. We especially welcome applications from, and expect to offer a number of associateships to, candidates with backgrounds typically under-represented in the sector and/or reflect the communities we seek to serve.

New year, new job? 

Alumni Programme Manager x 2 (both South, within reach of London)

If you want to support young people in schools, particularly those who are disadvantaged, then this could be the job for you. Future First is the UK charity that connects state school pupils with former students to show them a future that can be theirs. Hearing from past pupils builds resilience, confidence and gives students the motivation to study. Our new technology also gives them a network to help them.

We have two Alumni Programme Manager vacancies, both working with schools and partners in the South. Alumni Programme Managers are our front line workers supporting schools, volunteers and young people. You'll be joining an amazing and friendly team, with the opportunity to have your ideas heard and grow your skills, taking on projects, specialisms and responsibilities.  You will help your schools and colleges to build and use their former student networks to support today’s pupils, with workshops and talks, as governors and fundraisers, mentors and much more. You will also reach out to new schools and businesses to raise the profile of our work, build more partnerships and grow our pool of school members. 

You will be situated in or within reach of London, allowing you to easily reach schools in the South. We are currently mainly home working, with regular face to face team working and the option to use office space as you wish. We are reviewing the charity’s requirements and it is likely that we will take a base in London and Manchester, although home-based working will remain for those who enjoy it.

We would particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of the communities we serve. We are an equal opportunities employer committed to social justice and supporting a diverse workforce.

To join us, you will need: a desire to address social mobility issues; the ability to influence and win others to your way of thinking; experience of working with schools and young people, ideally through facilitating engaging activity; excellent communication skills; superb organisational skills; and an interest in working across the breadth of a small charity, including sales and business development.

In return, we offer you a supportive working environment with plenty of learning and development opportunities. You’ll work with dedicated, determined colleagues and witness the tangible difference our work makes to young people’s lives. We live by our values of social justice, collaboration, innovation and role models. If these values resonate with you, we’d love to hear from you!

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis through to 31 January 2022. We may bring forward the closing date if we are able to appoint to the vacancies sooner. You are therefore advised to apply early.
