Digital Content Manager Jobs in Leicester

We’re looking for a highly-skilled techy, people-person. Someone who loves to build, develop and problem solve with tech tools, while taking greatest satisfaction from seeing others succeed because of the help, support and encouragement you’ve given them.

You have strong confidence with CRM, data interpretation, manipulation and automation tools, alongside experience as a trainer or teacher. Combined with creativity and excitement for improving existing systems and building new ideas from the ground up.

Our current business and data systems have evolved as the community has grown over the last 5 years. Now we’re in a really strong position to do more, and do it better. To harness the power of our diverse community data so that we can know, serve and delight our members. Supporting them to learn more and meet others in the same role so that they can have maximum impact in their own schools for their own students.

Starting as 2 days per week Oct 2024 - Apr 2025, our desire is that the success and vision of the person appointed to this new role will make it possible to transition to a longer-term contract for increased # days . That is to say, the opportunity is there, it is for you to run with.

About We Are In Beta.

We Are In Beta is an online community of 18,800+ school leaders and teachers which helps them share and learn how they get the best outcomes for their students.

We believe most of the solutions to schools’ problems are in schools already. Or at least, in the minds of the brilliant people who work in them.

Our job is to find them and share them widely, so nobody has to figure it out on their own.

Imagine a day when you can find someone - or something  - that can help solve any problem you’re facing, whenever you need it.

A day when every student has leaders and teachers who are equipped with the most successful strategies and networks to improve their education.

Join us to help us build that future for our schools.

We - schools - Are In Beta - always learning.
 

What do we do?

To work towards that future:

1. We research great practice so our members can discover it and be inspired by it.

2. We produce and share practical content with great schools through events, webinars, podcasts and resources - so they can learn from others’ successes (and the failures too).

3. We build communities of practice so colleagues can meet and grow together

Some stats we’re really proud of:

In just 4 years we’ve grown the online community to over 18,800 school leaders and teachers.

• 3,400 - MATs and schools we are connected to

• 2500+ resources have been shared by our members - if each one on average takes two hours produce - in reality it's probably more - that’s more than… 

• 3.1 years' worth of others’ work each and every one of our members can access just by being a part of the community

• 3,710 policies and resources from successful schools and MATs we have curated, analysed and shared.

• £1,500 - the amount we save a school each time they access the research they ask us to do for them.

• 870,000 hours - the number of hours it would have taken members to discover the insights we've shared with them had they done the research on their own in silos.

• £25 million - the amount it would have cost schools had they funded those research hours themselves 

• 1.5 million - the number of miles our members would have had to have travelled to meet our expert presenters in case study schools had our community not existed online.

• 8,500 people came to the National INSET Day in Dec 2020 when the government left schools with almost no time at all to plan an end of term INSET. 

We are just getting started. Join us to write the next chapter

Are you ready to lead and develop this pioneering new project in partnership with the Office of Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner (OSPCC). Do you thrive on building trust and engagement with young people, school communities and families?

As the Breck Foundation's new Project Coordinator (Pan Sussex), with the support of the CEO, you will lead the initial project set up, the recruitment of schools and young people, followed by all training and coordination of the delivery.

The post holder will need to be based in Sussex, required to work from home permanently but willing and able to easily travel regularly to various locations across East and West Sussex, occasionally farther as necessary to fulfil the requirements of the role, to deliver aspects of the programme and to engage with other stakeholders and colleagues.

Breck Foundation 

Breck Foundation is a unique and dynamic organisation that makes a real difference. The charity was founded in 2014 in memory of Breck Bednar, a 14-year-old boy who was groomed and murdered by someone he met online. We inform, educate and campaign to help young people and the wider UK public reclaim the internet from those who seek to harm others through it. Our educational programmes reach thousands of students, parents and safeguarding professionals each year.

The Project

Over the last few years, the Breck Foundation worked closely with Volunteer Police Cadet Units in Surrey and Tower Hamlets to train cadets as ‘Breck Ambassadors’, equipping them with the training needed to talk in schools to their peers about staying safe online and the key signs of grooming.

We are proud to take this successful project further having secured funding with the Office of Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner (OSPCC) to recruit and train up to 30 ‘Youth Ambassadors’ (for online safety) in schools across Sussex. The Youth Ambassadors will learn how to tell Breck’s story and empower young people with the tools they need to stay safe online. Working closely with schools to enable the students to become Online Safety Ambassadors for their school community, advocate for their peers and to be a voice of expertise and counsel. You will work with schools and community groups to generate impact through Breck’s story (on online grooming) and other important topics related to children’s online safety.

This flagship project for the OSPCC will launch in April 2025 (Coordinator starts in January 2025) and run for at least 12 months, with potential funding up to three years. We hope it will set a precedent for others to follow our lead and develop similar programmes for young people across the UK.
