We’re an award-winning charity that runs local learning centres in the heart of communities where the young people we support live. Our centres provide an innovative education programme which includes practical learning support and motivational and confidence-building activities for children and young people aged 7-18. Our aim is to inspire students from the least advantaged neighbourhoods to broaden their horizons and achieve their full potential.

We are looking for people to take up an important role in our safeguarding team as a Safeguarding Manager. This role will be crucial in supporting our delivery team to safeguard the young people we work with and help ensure that IntoUniversity provides a safe environment for all of our young people at all times.

As a charity with social mobility as its core objective, IntoUniversity is wholly committed to equality of opportunity. We work with children and young people from a diverse range of backgrounds, and we believe that our staff team should be similarly diverse and representative. 

The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be, and we recognise that we have much more to do in this regard. We are committed to building a culture where students, staff and volunteers are valued for the unique people they are. We therefore encourage applications from candidates from as wide a range as possible of ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds. In particular, we actively and warmly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, male candidates and candidates with a disability as they are currently under-represented within IntoUniversity.

If you believe that all young people deserve the chance to develop their talents regardless of their background and want to play a part in helping them succeed, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

The Institute is inviting applications for a Learning and Development Manager to join our IfG Academy team, to start as soon as notice periods allow.

The IfG Academy brings together the Institute’s expertise on government into practical training and support. We help those working in government to improve it, and those outside government to understand and engage with it, through a range of tailored workshops and resources: for ministers on how to get the most out of their time in office, for officials on how to support their ministers effectively, and for subject specialists on how to engage meaningfully with policy makers.

Since launching the IfG Academy at the beginning of 2023, interest in our training courses from clients in government, the public sector, non-governmental organisations, businesses and academia has been significant. This success has been such that we are now in a position to expand the team to meet the demand we have generated, and help us continue to grow.

We are therefore looking to appoint a second Learning & Development Manager to support our Head of Learning & Development in designing and delivering our programme of workshops and training courses on government and policymaking.

In this role, you will work with the rest of the IfG Academy team and others across the IfG to design and deliver courses and workshops for a wide variety of clients including ministers, civil servants, MPs, academics and others.

This will include:

• Delivering high-quality online, in-person and hybrid workshops, roundtables and training courses alongside the Head of Learning & Development and other IfG Academy colleagues to a wide variety of audiences.
• Designing and developing high-quality, compelling course materials reflecting the Institute’s extensive research and expertise – where appropriate in collaboration with the IfG’s team of research professionals.
• Professional and timely liaison with external clients and course attendees, to maintain and grow the Institute’s excellent reputation for Learning & Development.
• Working with the Institute’s partnerships, events and operations teams to ensure workshops and training courses are administered effectively and run smoothly.

As the Academy develops there is scope for this role to grow, enabling you to take on increasing responsibility.

Candidates for this role need to have experience in designing and/or delivering workshops or training sessions. However, we are taking a broad view on what this experience looks like, and the role could suit people with a wide range of different backgrounds and experiences. If you are interested in applying but are not sure you have all the skills or experience we’re looking for, please do apply and give us the opportunity to consider you as a candidate. Full details about the role, including a person specification and information about the application process, can be found in our job application pack and we encourage all candidates to read the pack carefully before completing their application. 

The IfG is committed to supporting greater diversity and inclusion within our workforce, and to fostering an environment in which everyone feels welcome, supported and valued. We welcome applications from anyone who is interested in government and how to make it more effective, and particularly encourage applications from candidates who belong to groups currently underrepresented in the think-tank sector. This includes but is not limited to minority ethnic candidates, disabled candidates, and candidates from low-income backgrounds.

The Operations and Development Manager post is an important new role and will deputise for the Chief Executive.

The role will lead on making sure Learning Disability England’s internal systems, processes and ways of working support our work towards a rights based good life for all people with learning disabilities being driven by people with learning disabilities’ priorities and inclusive of families, and paid supporters.

About Us 

We are a small staff team of 7 people mostly working part time. All of us are home based and work flexibly. Annual leave  entitlement is 27 days plus Statutory Holidays pro rata

There are different lead roles in the team but being small we support each other and work with members and partners to achieve as much as can together. 

Learning Disability England is a membership organisation that brings together people with learning disabilities, family members and people in paid roles to make a difference together.

Being led by what is important to our members is central to how we work. Working closely with the Representative Body and other team members to support being member led is an important part of all our jobs. 

Diversity matters to us. We particularly welcome applications from people from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds as they are currently underrepresented in our organisation.   

We will be conducting online interviews on the 13th December 2023
