UWC is a global movement that strives for global peace and sustainability. Through our 18 schools across four continents we provide an educational experience like no other for tomorrow’s changemakers, irrespective of their background or financial means. 

Supported by 155 mostly volunteer-led national committees, and a vast array of complex stakeholders and partners, our programmes provide multiple paths through which those who dare to dream can explore the UWC experience. This takes coordination, organisation and dedication. That’s where the role of Senior Officer, Programmes, comes in. Is that person you?

Job Title: Senior Officer, Programmes [Maternity Cover]

Basis of Appointment: Full Time (38.5 hours)

Contract Length: 10 months

Reports to: Head of Programmes

Location: London

Salary:  £40,914 pro rata

Changing the world takes passion, dedication and diligence...

Isn’t it time that your passion and skills be channelled towards a career and community that genuinely changes lives?

If you...

• want to transform your own life by transforming the lives of others

• crave a career that creates opportunity for others

• desire to make dreams come true for those who never thought it possible

• know that education is the foundation from which we can change the world

• believe that today’s young people can transform tomorrow

• strive for world peace and global sustainability

• dare to dream

...then a career with UWC could be the change you need. 

UWC is a global family of schools with a powerful difference. With a shared goal of working towards global peace and sustainability, we bring together young people from around the world to study in one of our 18 schools on four continents. There they don’t just learn how to be great at passing exams. They learn how to communicate across cultural boundaries. They develop the skills to be a changemaker. They design and engage in initiatives that transform their lives and the lives of those around them for the better. And they stay a “UWC-er” for life, becoming part of a global community of over 60,000 changemakers transforming the lives of others. 

Working with us will inspire and challenge you

Driving a mission to make the UWC experience available to tomorrow’s changemakers, irrespective of their background, beliefs and economic means demands colleagues with passion and dedication, and a talent for transformation. Our students go on to become leaders in politics, NGOs, social enterprises, community movements, charities, and business. For life, they remain dedicated to the UWC mission and many of them remain in close contact with us, their school, and their peers.

Supporting a community of students, staff and volunteers who dare to dream isn’t an easy task. We thrive through the diligent co-ordination and dedication of:

• 155 mostly volunteer-led national committees who represent the UWC movement around the world. While we are one movement, our national committees each serve their own unique cultural context. Collectively they support the movement by identifying and selecting future students, supporting fundraising activity and awarding financial aid. 

• Stakeholders and partners in a range of like-minded organisations.

• A core staff - currently based in London, but also expanding to Berlin - within the UWC International Office who are responsible for advancing UWC globally, supporting the national committees, the schools and colleges, maintaining engagement with alumni and stakeholders, and driving core programmes and initiatives. 

• 18 schools and colleges in four continents, each with their own highly diverse community of students working in a challenging and life-changing environment and often living far away from home. 

• Over 60,000 alumni advocating for the UWC movement and individually working in their own way to change the lives of others. 

• External consultants and other suppliers involved in the delivery of programmes and initiatives. 

With multiple programmes that change lives could you be the Senior Officer to help us manage them?

Working to an ambitious goal such as ours takes strong organisational skills. Multiple work-streams and programmes exist to support our mission in different ways:

• The national committees give UWC a local presence in 155 countries. 

• The Global Selection Programme, introduced in 2018, provides an admissions pathway into UWC schools for suitable students who don’t require financial aid. 

• Short courses lasting one-to-three weeks are offered around the world in the Summer and Winter months, providing a taste of the UWC experience for all young people who aspire to have a positive impact on the world.

Those programmes can only flourish with the support, guidance and leadership of dedicated staff who manage the policies, processes and people involved in our programmes. That’s where you come in. 

We’re seeking a new Senior Officer, Programmes, to:

• Innovate and inspire the future development of and improvements to our International Programmes

• Build the capacity of our national committees by:

  • Developing systems and processes to support their operational activity

  • Manage the national committee fund

  • Support the opening of national committee hub offices across the globe

• Develop and review our policies and processes for national committees, schools and short courses

• Offer support and guidance for the short course and summer programmes

• Identify new opportunities for UWC or respond to concerns relating to existing programmes.

• Help welcome others into the UWC family of schools and national committees, ensuring that they familiarise themselves with relevant policies and processes, especially those relating to recruitment and admissions of students

• Advance the provision of support within schools relating to specific needs, from safeguarding to mental health and wellbeing.

As this is an exciting role that works globally and drives new activity, you’ll also be expected to travel - including overseas travel - approximately six times per year and support new initiatives and programmes that may be developed in future. 

Your knowledge, experience and determination

To achieve all of the above, you will ideally have:

• A drive to work in a transformative environment and a willingness to travel

• Experience of coordinating multiple stakeholders - including volunteers - in a complex environment, dispersed around the world and often working to conflicting deadlines

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking and multi-award-winning organisation as the new Head of Fundraising and Communications. 

Aspire supports people facing significant barriers to employment, such as homelessness, offending histories, substance misuse or social exclusion, to move into and towards employment, training, education and housing. This recruitment comes at an exciting time in Aspire’s growth. Aspire began in 2001 supporting a small number of people affected by homelessness in Oxford city into employment: we now work with over 2,000 people across Oxfordshire, helping them to achieve significant life changes, and we’re piloting new activity in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. We run multiple, innovative employment and housing programmes including our “Through the Gate” project for ex-offenders, a homelessness prevention service and a Housing First project.

Aspire’s fundraising programme and brand profile has increased significantly over the last 5 years. We have a strong track record of successful fundraising to local and national trusts and foundations, which has enabled us to launch and sustain many of our employment and homelessness programmes. Over the last 18 months, Aspire has also built up a strong programme of year-round events, partnerships and appeals designed to generate unrestricted income for the organisation. In addition, Aspire’s profile has grown significantly with established social media channels, website management, Google Ads and media relations now in place. Further developing Aspire’s fundraising strategy and increasing unrestricted income to support Aspire’s long-term sustainability will be a key aspect of this role going forward.

Overall Purpose of Job: Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and managing one part-time Fundraising Officer and one part-time Communications Officer, the post holder will be responsible for implementing and developing Aspire’s fundraising strategy with a particular focus on increasing unrestricted income and strengthening individual giving, including with major donors. This role is part of Aspire’s Senior Leadership Team.
