Our Vision
The past does not have to determine the future. The Difference is a new education charity, founded to improve the life outcomes of the most vulnerable children by raising the status and expertise of those who teach them. By 2030 we want a new story on school exclusion:
- People - The best teachers working with the children who need them most – A third of the 350 schools for excluded pupils in the country have benefitted from a Difference Leader leading improved practice and outcomes for excluded children in their setting; and are part of a growing Community of Schools through which The Difference learns more about effective practice and policy to improve life chances of excluded young people.
- Practice - An evidence base of what works with the most vulnerable shared widely – The Inclusive Leadership Course has shaped the strategic approach of over 1,000 of the 3,500 secondary schools nationally, leading to lower incidence of school exclusion in individual schools. Meanwhile research findings, school tools and development experiences by The Difference inspires hundreds of teachers each year to join The Difference Community, learning from what works to improve childrenʼs safety, wellbeing and learning.
- Policy – Changing incentives are reducing exclusion and improving preventative investment – Schools whose outcomes buck the trend for vulnerable children are identified, facilitated and amplified by The Difference, influencing other schools and policy-makers. Local, multi-academy-trust wide and national policies which help and hinder excluded pupils are identified through our research; and changed through our advocacy relationships.
Our Journey
From next academic year, The Difference Executive team need a new colleague to support them across the whole organisationʼs work: orchestrating the rhythm of the year with internal and external work and events; managing correspondence with a growing number of externals; coaching the Directors to use their time strategically to have the most impact, and working closely with our trustee team to oversee the continuously improving work of the charity. Could you make this difference?
Our Values
- Purpose driven - Our work is guided and galvanised by our values and beliefs. We are problem-solvers, and do not wait to act. We are inspired by our purpose to improve life-chances of the most vulnerable young people, and to develop new expertise in the teaching workforce.
- Strong relationships - We prioritise genuine relationships over transactional interactions, and know that this requires deliberate relational practice and achieves the best outcomes. We see those we work with as people first and their roles second; and know this greater trust allows us to take more risks, gain more feedback and have greater impact. Working through a network of relationships allows us to achieve more than we could do alone.
- Internalised locus of control - We work hard to reframe difficult situations to discover what we have within our power in terms of solutions. We take it upon ourselves to walk towards challenges and can take a high level of ownership and agency in our work and its continuous improvement. We never shout “fire” without first picking up our own bucket.
- Scientific approach - We take a diagnostic approach to unpicking causes of problems. We are loud and proud of our failures, recognising failing fast and often is key to finding the best solutions. We test solutions and are willing to use data and feedback to make adjustments and choose new directions. We look for a measurable shift in outcomes before we declare we are having an impact.
- Not squeamish about structural inequalities - We believe patterns of inequality can and should be disrupted. We strive to be clear-eyed about how these inequalities work, and both the individual practice and system-changes required to address them. We push ourselves to overcome awkwardness in talking about this; and to begin with acknowledging our own biases and blind spots.
- Value voices of dissent and difference - We are brave enough to share our minds with others; and nurture that bravery in our collaborators. We build feedback loops to learn from othersʼ perceptions – especially if they differ from our own. We donʼt mind disagreement, are wary of group-think and seek out different perspectives to make our work stronger.
- Asset-based - We work hard to avoid deficit thinking and aim to start with whatʼs strong, not whatʼs wrong. We are careful not to frame our colleagues and stakeholders - particularly young people and families – as othered victims but instead to recognise their agency and to talk with and about them with empathy and respect. We build relationships with, feedback loops from, and recruit into our teams, people who have the assets of insights into our delivery work and the young people we work with.
The Challenge Ahead: Executive Assistant
The Difference is a growing charity, in both the size of its team and the reach of its delivery. As our delivery and team both grow, we must develop our ability to manage competing strategic priorities and their demands on our time, and to communicate and collaborate effectively across a wider group of colleagues, Trustees and external stakeholders. This requires a high level of coordination, strategic time management, and internal communication that we have not needed until now - qualities which we hope you will help to foster and grow.
As the Executive Assistant, you will work closely with the CEO and Directors to develop a deep understanding of the organisation’s strategic goals, how they interrelate, and the operational approaches designed to achieve them. Through this understanding, you will support the Exec team to manage their time and input towards the charity’s goals; ensure effective communication across The Difference team and with external stakeholders; as well as personally delivering on key projects across the charity.
