Khulisa (meaning ‘to nurture’ in Zulu) is an award-winning national charity with South African roots. Since 2007, Khulisa have developed a reputation as experts in supporting young people at risk of exclusion through therapeutic, safe exploration of behaviour which is deemed as ‘disruptive’ or ‘challenging’, and in many cases is symptomatic of the impact of trauma, abuse and neglect.

We have worked in prisons since 2007 and in schools and pupil referral units (PRUs) since 2011, delivering SEL (social and emotional learning) programmes. It is now widely accepted that children’s social skills are more accurate predictors of their health, wealth and criminal history in later life than IQ or social background. Khulisa’s team of therapists and programme managers work with young people to provide a range of interventions, designed to build social and emotional skills. Over time we have also realised the importance of young people being in an environment which responds effectively to their emotional needs. As a result, we now take a whole-school approach, delivering our interventions in tandem with professionals, providing  training and resources for teachers and parents/carers.

Khulisa is a charity funded predominantly by grants from Trusts and Foundations and sales. With a team of 18 staff and 11 freelance facilitators, we support over 1,000 young people and train over 3,000 professionals each year. Our key partners include schools, and local authorities. We are members of London Youth, Clinks, the SCYJ and other community groups which promote the wellbeing of vulnerable young people. 

Why Now?

Khulisa is responding to rapidly increasing demand for services, caused in part by the impact of Covid-19 and subsequent lockdowns which left many vulnerable children isolating in harmful or disrupted environments. We’ve worked tirelessly to meet this heightened demand and our team is growing quickly. This year we’re looking at 50% growth, with an aim to provide 350 young people with intensive support, and thousands more through light touch interventions and systemic change.

In order to make this happen, and to continue expanding our delivery across both London, the North West and Midlands, we are looking for an exceptionally talented fundraiser to support our income generation, and growth. You’ll be joining us at an exciting time as we launch a series of innovative new services across new schools, and drive new strategies to on-board values-aligned funders. As a result you’ll have the opportunity to develop your skills in different areas of fundraising make as well as make a sustainable difference to young people as part of a team delivering long-term direct and systemic change.

We invest and nurture our team, providing regular opportunities for connection, learning and development. With rapid growth underway, there is also plenty of opportunity to also develop your career and skill set. 

We can’t wait to meet you!

We are seeking to appoint two new Programme Managers to manage our inspirational employability programmes.

The effect of the pandemic was felt the hardest in the disadvantaged communities we work in. Covid wiped out a decade of progress in improving social mobility. Our long-term strategy for supporting talented young people comes at the time when you are still 60% more likely to be in a professional job if you were from a privileged background rather than from a working-class background.

This evidence, set alongside the UK's acute skills shortage and ageing workforce, means that The Talent Foundry, with its partners, can make a huge difference in shaping young people's futures. With the right inspirational and targeted support young people can identify and access meaningful careers which will change their lives.

We work only in areas of high socio-economic deprivation. Every year we work with around 60,000 brilliant young people, creating and running programmes that are funded by some of the country’s major employers – Barclays, Dell, KPMG, M&G, the NHS, and Disney to name a few.

We also run a careers festival with a concert – Rock Assembly – which brings together 10,000 young people in Birmingham.

Over the last 12 years, we’ve worked with over 600,000 disadvantaged students from across 1,900 schools –we know how to help them build confidence in themselves and their talent and have the data to prove it.

We chose the name the Talent Foundry deliberately. In foundries, metal and other products are forged. Our goal is to help ‘forge’ talent.

The Programme Manager role and where it sits in the team

This is an established role that manages several of our long-term partnerships. With support from the Head of Programmes, the Programme Manager is responsible for ensuring TTF educational programmes are successfully delivered in partnership from conception to evaluation with funders, corporate partners and universities into schools and further education institutions.

We have two Programme Manager vacancies. One will line-manage a small team of Programme Co-ordinators, the other will be responsible for managing and co-ordinating our freelance School Facilitator network. 

You are:

You’ll be a brilliant project manager, someone who is great with people and likes to develop creative and inspiring activities in partnership with business and the public sector to engage and support young people. You can balance competing priorities and keep projects moving towards their goals. You are motivated by working collaboratively with funders and your team, yet comfortable making decisions after gathering insight and information.

Benefits

• Annual leave entitlement 28 days + Bank Holidays
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Flexible Working
• Pension  
• Training and development budget
• The afternoon of your birthday off (or the morning after)

We are open to hearing from candidates who are seeking part-time opportunities and/or job shares. This role will be hybrid working from home, with 2-3 days a month in London co-working space.

High Trees Community Development Trust

High Trees was born of the local community 23 years ago, through collective community action to save the old library based in Tulse Hill, turning it into a Community Development Trust. Today, High Trees has grown significantly and is a well-regarded and trusted community anchor in Lambeth, delivering and leading on a range of integrated services to connect people and communities to strengthen skills and build stronger voices. 

Our 5 cornerstone support areas provide integrated services in:

• Employment & Welfare Advice
• Community Education & Training
• Community Action
• Children, Young People & Families
• Partnerships & Development

The Role

Our Head of Partnerships and Development sits within the management team of High Trees, taking leadership to ensure the strategic ambitions of our work on partnership working, promoting effective collaboration and best practice in the sector are realised, through both direct contract & funded programme management and through consultancy work. High Trees has considerable experience of developing and leading long term partnerships with other organisations in the voluntary sector.

This role will help us ensure that this work both continues and expands and that we are able to share our learning and best practice with the sector as a whole beyond the reach of the partnerships we are directly involved in. A key part of our work within our partnerships is that of sharing our learning and supporting other organisation to build their capacity and approaches to collaborative working through the development of a range of tools and resources to share with other organisations to support collaborative working practices and system change, and, via this role and the newly created role of Capacity Building Officer which sits within the Partnerships & Development Team, will now be able to further focus on capacity building other organisations.

High Trees are at an exciting juncture in this area as we look to further evolve our partnerships and another key feature of this role will be overseeing the incubation and strategic ambitions of some of our key partnerships, including Building Young Brixton which in its sixth year of operation and is now taking the steps to develop a longer term plan for its sustainability. Overseeing the Building Young Brixton Partnership Manager, and a small dedicated BYB Team, you will ensure that our plans to ensure the partnerships future are realised.

Alongside the work in this area that is directly grant funded and concentrated on providing this support to other VCS organisations in Lambeth, we are also developing our consultancy offer and this role will take the lead in designing and delivering bespoke consultancy services to a wide range of organisations, whether other VCS organisations, local authorities or the private sector, ensuring all work is in our areas of expertise and in line with our core values. You will also take the lead on the development and role out of our consultancy offer in these areas, developing a comprehensive consultancy strand, that complements our existing work and expertise, and generating new income streams and partnership opportunities as a result.

The role manages our Partnerships and Development team as a whole, which holds responsibility for our Communications and our Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning – ensuring the High Trees voice reaches those it needs to and all our work and communications is underpinned by robust monitoring, evaluation and reporting and managing our Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Officer and Communications Officer to do so. No specific direct experience in either of these areas is a perquisite, as the subject expertise will sit with the Officers, but a clear understanding of the strategic principles of both communications and Impact measurement and how these sit within an organisation will be needed.

A key part of the role is focused on relationships – both external and internal – and you will have the ability to communicate with ease with a wide and diverse range of individuals, easily building rapport and embodying High Trees ethos and values. You will also build relationships with other stakeholder organisations and businesses interested to utilise their corporate social responsibility to add value to High Trees services.
