Class 13 is a Lambeth-based education charity committed to putting equity and relationships at the heart of education.
We imagine a world where every young person feels seen, valued, and safe in school. Our work focuses on transforming school environments by rooting out systemic inequities and building more inclusive and equitable environments for children, educators, families, and communities.
We don’t offer quick fixes. We work alongside school communities to create lasting, systemic change. Our four key principles guide everything we do:
-
Affirming the full humanity of every individual.
-
Nurturing critical thinking
-
Building community
-
Encouraging democratic engagement
About this role
This is a joint role delivered by Class 13 as part of two interconnected programmes in Lambeth. One is a long-term embedded pilot working deeply with two local schools to reimagine school culture from the inside out. The other is part of a borough-wide initiative commissioned by SEL ICB and supported by Black Thrive to improve emotional wellbeing for Black and mixed heritage children.
Both strands aim to create more human, equitable school environments—and we are seeking someone committed to walking alongside families, schools, and systems to help make this happen.
While the role is relational at its core, it also involves managing light but essential administrative and reporting tasks particularly during key programme milestones. This includes maintaining accurate records, preparing summaries of engagement sessions, and handling transcripts to ensure learning is captured and shared.
Role Summary
We are seeking a deeply reflective and relational School & Community Engagement Partner who isn’t afraid to ask bold questions or sit with uncomfortable truths.
This role isn’t about quick fixes or ticking engagement boxes—it’s about nurturing trust, challenging old habits, and reimagining what school can be. You’ll be at the heart of a long-term transformation project, working deeply with two Lambeth schools while also contributing to a broader borough-wide initiative that invites families, staff, and communities to imagine something better—together.
At its core, this work is about shifting power. About listening with care, convening with purpose, and walking alongside parents, carers, teachers, and school leaders as they navigate what change can look like when it’s built on affirmation, curiosity, and collective responsibility.
You’ll help strengthen the connection between schools and families through sustained relationships, collective inquiry, and shared action. Some of your work will be intensive and embedded, walking alongside schools to shift culture from the inside out. Other aspects will stretch wider gathering insight, surfacing patterns, and shaping ideas that ripple beyond a single setting.
This is not a traditional outreach role. It’s connective tissue—bridging classrooms, communities, and change. You’ll be a steady presence: listening, facilitating, building trust, and helping schools reflect not just on what they do, but why.
The School & Community Engagement Partner will report to the Head of Programmes and the primary lead work closely with school leadership, teachers, and local organisations to transform parent-school relationships.
Main Responsibilities
1. Deepen relationships and build community
-
Build consistent, trust-based relationships with parents, carers, staff, and wider community members, particularly those who have been historically marginalised by school systems
-
Be a visible and approachable presence at parents’ evenings, community events, school gates, and day-to-day school life
-
Support families to move from being consulted to being co-creators ensuring their insight shapes decisions, practice, and school culture
-
Foster connections not just between families and schools, but across families themselves, creating the conditions for mutual support and collective action
2. Walk alongside schools as they shift culture
-
Work closely with staff across both pilot schools supporting reflection, relationship-building, and democratic practice
-
Collaborate with school leaders, governors, and the wider Class 13 team to surface insight, challenge deficit thinking, and support community-led transformation
-
Contribute to family-led policy change projects, helping create space for shared decision-making and power-sharing in schools
-
Support the rhythm and routines of the embedded pilot showing up consistently in school life, from attending assemblies to noticing small shifts in culture
-
Lead structured interviews with teachers participating in the programme, creating a relational space to gather reflective insights using agreed guides.
3. Facilitate wider listening and engagement
-
Deliver structured engagement sessions in local schools as part of the SEL ICB programme, using the Appreciative Inquiry model (training provided)
-
Work with staff and parents to map what currently exists, identify challenges and possibilities, and co-develop practical, community-rooted solutions
-
“Reflect on what you’re hearing and noticing, and share learning that can support change—locally and across the wider network.
4. Learn, reflect, and grow
-
Participate fully in Class 13’s foundational learning programme (4 full-day sessions)
-
Engage in self-directed learning as part of the ICB programme
-
Contribute to monitoring, reflection, and participatory evaluation of both the embedded pilot and the wider borough programme
-
Maintain accurate records of meetings, interviews, and engagement sessions, including producing clear summaries and contributing to project documentation.
-
Join monthly peer forums and learning spaces across the borough to share insight, deepen practice, and support collective learning.
Skills & Experience

-
A background in community engagement, education, youth work or organising—particularly with parents, carers, or families

Confidence navigating school spaces (including SLT, teachers, governors, parents, and young people)
-
Strong organisational skills and comfort managing multiple priorities across different sites
-
A deep commitment to equity and justice, and a willingness to reflect on your own practice

Ability to manage and organise documentation, transcripts, and basic reporting to meet programme and funder requirements.
-
Experience in conducting structured interviews or qualitative research in education, youth, or community contexts.
Desirable
-
Experience working in, or alongside, schools or youth-facing institutions
-
Professional training or qualifications such as teaching, social work, youth work, counselling, or therapeutic practice

About Future Talent
Founded in 2004 by the Duchess of Kent and Nicholas Robinson OBE, Future Talent exists to break down barriers, create opportunities, and harness the transformative power of music to change the lives of young musicians across the UK.
With over 4.2 million children living in poverty in the UK, too many gifted young musicians are held back by a lack of access and support. We envision a future where all musically talented children, regardless of background, are empowered to thrive.
Our work is made possible through the generosity of major donors, trusts & foundations, corporate partners and sponsors, and individual supporters, whose contributions and support make our programmes possible, creating vital opportunities for young musicians.
About the role
As CEO, you will provide strategic and operational leadership to ensure we can support more young musicians across the UK.
This is a hands-on, externally facing leadership role that combines fundraising, advocacy and organisational strategy. You’ll work closely with our committed Board of Trustees, expert Advisory Group and small, passionate staff team to:
- Lead high-value fundraising activity, strengthening and diversifying our income from major donors, trusts and foundations, and corporate partners
- Build partnerships across the music, education, funding and philanthropic sectors
- Increase the charity’s visibility and voice on a national level
- Lead a high-performing, inclusive team culture
- Ensure the charity’s long-term financial sustainability and operational resilience
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is ambitious and excited about the impact Future Talent can have, and who brings the strategic fundraising expertise, day-to-day energy and stakeholder management skills to make that ambition a reality.
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for a confident, collaborative and energetic leader with experience working in a small charity environment and a passion for supporting young people and driving social change.
You don’t need to have been a CEO before; this could be your first time stepping into the role. What matters is that you bring the right leadership experience, values and ambition to take Future Talent forward.
You will bring:
- Proven success in delivering significant fundraising results and income growth, particularly with major donors, trusts and foundations and/or corporate partners
- Strong relationship-building skills and experience representing an organisation externally, including to funders and philanthropic partners
- Strategic leadership experience, with the ability to lead organisational growth and change
- A people-centred leadership and management style that fosters inclusion, collaboration and high performance
- Financial and operational acumen

About the Role: We wish to appoint a Mission and Ministry Trainer to join our Mission and Ministry team. This is an exciting opportunity to support the vision and strategy for missionary discipleship and lay ministry within Winchester diocese.
You will be responsible for developing, resourcing, delivering training and creating formation opportunities as part of the Mission and Ministry team for individuals wanting to explore Christian growth, lay leadership and ministry.
There will be specific emphasis on making these programmes appealing and accessible to a greater range of contexts in the diocese with focus on location, tradition, missional and congregational demographic and in particular, commitment to the ‘Growing Younger and More Diverse’ strategy.
Through the vision laid out in the ‘Walking the Wessex Way’ document our values closely connect with the national strategy of the Church of England to grow missional disciples including a commitment to become younger and more diverse.
Our values
- Serving
Prioritising the common good. Being humble ourselves, looking to the needs of others, especially those on the margins and where their need is greatest. Paying attention to the local, within a care for the whole.
- Learning
Open to ideas and the gifts of others in collaboration. Looking for mutual learning opportunities and growth in wisdom and excellence. Honouring the past whilst focusing on a sustainable future for all.
- Growing
Recognising our potential both personally and for mutual flourishing. Seeking to equip and encourage others, enabling them for the challenges of this generation and beyond. Recognising and wanting to make best use of the experience, wisdom and talent across our parishes.
- Loving
Acting as good stewards of all that is entrusted to us. Respecting & valuing every person; seeing God’s image in others. Engendering a sense of mutual care, community and interdependence.
Job Summary
As part of a wider Mission and Ministry Team, the Mission and Discipleship Trainer will equip and support lay ministers and all interested learners in their theological understanding, spiritual growth, and practical ministry skills. They will contribute to the teaching and worship life of the diocese, engaging with a breadth of Anglican traditions.There are three key aspects of the responsibilities in this role.
- The first is, in communication with the Mission and Discipleship Enabler, to develop more contextual and locally based training contexts for existing and emerging learning and training programmes to facilitate more accessibility for parishes and benefices for which the diocesan offices are less accessible. This will involve working with strategic places identified in the South, Southwest, and North of the diocese to implement the vision to establish ‘satellite’ training centres. Initially this will focus on BPP (Bishop’s Permission to Preach); BCM programmes (Bishop’s Commission for Mission); and introductory theology and discipleship programmes.
- The second is promoting discipleship and ministerial training through networking and intentional communications to accelerate efforts being made to equip a broader demographic of Christians with leadership skills in view of the diocesan and national Church of England vision and values to become ‘younger and more diverse’. This will involve working collaboratively with the Mission and Discipleship Enabler, the Young Vocations Team (team under development), and the Racial Justice Advisor, alongside other team members and also work with clergy to understand specific contexts of training needs arising. Success in promotions and ‘recruitment’ of more diverse Christians will require working with the COMs team to support effective use of social media to target younger audiences, facilitate fast updates of events, and identify opportunities for story sharing.
- Thirdly, there is a responsibility to oversee, grow, and develop the network of Children, Youth and Families ministers/workers. This will include responsibility for organising, hosting and, where appropriate, delivering training at these events, and overseeing the BCM in Children, Youth and Families work. Part of the work will also be to support specific CYF workers including, where helpful, visiting them on site to encourage and advise them in their work and put them in communication with the network for mutual ongoing support. It will involve keeping up to date with the national initiatives for CYF to facilitate a connected approach. An important development in this aspect of the role will be to help implement a vision for more collaborative work with the Education Team to promote and help facilitate close working between churches and schools across the diocese.
Key role requirements:
This is an office-based role, with the expectation to work for 2-3 days per week from home. The role will involve travel across the diocese, with occasional evening and weekend commitments.
About you: We are seeking someone who can demonstrate the following background and experience:
- A BA (Hons) or equivalent in theology is essential. An MA or higher degree in theology is desirable. Excellent level of English both spoken and written.
- Demonstrated success in training, and supporting volunteer teams is essential.
- Experience in developing and maintaining digital learning environments and online resources is essential.
- Track record of evaluating learning outcomes and adapting training approaches based on participant feedback.
- Experience in teaching theology and facilitating worship across diverse Anglican traditions.
Please refer to the Job Description for detailed information about the role and person specification.
What we offer:
Salary
- A salary of £40,144 per annum.
Terms
· Full-time, 35 hours per week on a permanent basis (subject to a 6-month probationary period)
Benefits
- 25 days annual leave plus eight bank holidays
