About Rekindle

Rekindle exists to create fierce critical thinkers who believe in themselves, question inherited truths, and learn in joyful, creative ways. We do this by developing a youth-led supplementary school provision which nurtures and supports working class young people (aged 11 - 14) who have faced numerous challenges on their education journey but still have a passion to learn and achieve their aspirations.

Our primary focus is to design an approach that offers support, connection, hope, and aspiration — one that pushes young people to believe they can be more, while first laying strong foundations of trust. We recognise that their knowledge and ideas are central to shaping this provision. Our approach is rooted in what young people care about, creating space for meaningful conversations with young adults and adults who can act as mentors. This is not an ordinary school or educational establishment. Our board of trustees — many aged 18 to 30 — have shaped the vision, created the previous curriculum, and will remain at the heart of the process every step of the way.

Role purpose

To make this vision a reality we’re looking for a Youth Team Manager to join our team in Tulse Hill, London, on an initial 12 month basis. This is a fantastic opportunity to have a positive impact with an organisation by running creative critical thinking sessions with our young people. The main priorities will be as follows:

1. Effective delivery of REKINDLE’s curriculum – Ensure that sessions are engaging, accessible, and aligned with the Snap and Four C’s framework, using strategies that foster critical thinking and independent learning.
2. Building meaningful relationships with young people – Develop strong, trusting connections to support their personal and academic growth, ensuring an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
3. Safeguarding and wellbeing – Maintain a safe space for all participants by adhering to safeguarding policies, identifying risks, and promoting well-being.
4. Collaboration and continuous improvement – Work closely with colleagues and external partners to enhance programme impact, contributing to ongoing development and evaluation.

Key Responsibilities (summary):

• Plan and deliver sessions that align with our curriculum and values.

• Support individual and group learning through creative teaching strategies.

• Promote youth voice, confidence, and critical dialogue.

• Maintain safeguarding standards and respond to wellbeing concerns.

• Work with local partners to expand opportunities.

• Contribute to the programme’s continuous improvement.

Person Specification (essential):

• Relevant qualifications or equivalent experience (including lived experience).

• At least 2 years’ experience managing work with working-class young people or those facing social marginalisation.

• Passion for education as a tool for social change.

• Understanding of safeguarding practices.

• Experience planning structured, youth-focused activities.

• Ability to build strong relationships and think critically.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

• Experience with evaluation and research.

• First Aid/Safeguarding training (or willingness to obtain).

• Mostly onsite availability, with occasional remote working.

Early Literacy Interventionist (North London)

Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you keen to work with children to support and develop their phonics and reading skills? 

38% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school in England each year unable to read to the expected standard. Chapter One is a fast-growing charity, with a vision of a world in which all children have the literacy skills they need to thrive. We work to ensure that all children have 1:1 reading support at the time they need it most.

Our Early Literacy Intervention (ELI) programme (based on a model that serves 20,000 children successfully in the USA) provides daily, 1:1, 7 minute phonics sessions for children who are behind in phonics. Using a bespoke technology tool, a trained Early Literacy Interventionist works individually with target children. 

This ELI role, reporting to the Schools Development Manager, is a great opportunity for someone who wants to develop and grow their knowledge of phonics and/or their teaching skill set. It is ideal for someone with previous school experience who is looking for a new and exciting challenge.

You will conduct initial baseline assessments and then deliver differentiated, 1:1, targeted, 7 minute phonics sessions to pupils using a systematic, synthetic approach. Although you are employed by Chapter One, you will work closely with the school team to understand the progression of the school’s phonics teaching; establish tailored plans for each child and feedback on pupil progress. Using your knowledge and insight, you will also collaborate with colleagues at Chapter One to further improve the ELI model, the online tool and programme delivery.

Please read the full job description for details of the responsibilities of the role, and our employee recruitment pack to learn more about Chapter One. This is a part-time role, based across two primary schools in Haringey, North London. 

Chapter One is committed to safeguarding children and young people. All post holders are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service disclosure. Copies of our Safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Policy are available on request.

As a charity that values and celebrates people's diversity and champions opportunities for all young people, we are keen to receive applications from people who have experienced disadvantage and from those who are of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities who are currently underrepresented in the organisation. We believe that a diverse organisation is one that is more innovative, more creative and gets better results.

This is a brand new role with Action Duchenne, leading our new Fundraising and Communications team. This role is part of the Senior Leadership Team.

Each programme culminates in a celebratory School Final, where student teams present their projects to an audience of peers, teachers, and guests. The winning class is awarded a £1,000 First Give grant for their chosen charity - but every participating student contributes to their community and gains skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of social issues. We currently partner with over 200 schools each year, helping thousands of young people become active, engaged citizens
