As the UK’s leading university access organisation, our staff are transforming the fortunes of thousands of young people each year. We have thirty-one centres and extension projects across the country, with ambitious plans to scale-up our provision further over the coming years.
We are looking for a high-calibre candidate to take up a 12-month fixed-term role as Leeds Project Leader. You will have responsibility for delivering our Leeds Extension and National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP) projects. NCOP is a joint initiative across universities, colleges and third sector organisations to provide a programme of activities and support for students in Year 9 and above at schools and colleges in areas where progression to Higher Education is lower than expected. The Leeds Extension Project delivers the core IntoUniversity programmes to a wider student base from our Leeds East and Leeds South centres.
You will manage your team, planning and delivering the programme, liaising with external stakeholders (including our university partners) and meeting IntoUniversity’s targets for delivery. A substantial element of this role is delivering our education programme to children and young people aged 7-18, so you will need to have a genuine passion and enthusiasm for working with young people, including leading a class of 30 from the front, working with small teams of children and providing one-to-one support.
The role will be fast-paced and challenging. Each day you will be contributing directly to the success of the charity and the transformation of the lives of some of the UK’s most disadvantaged young people. If you believe that all young people deserve the chance to achieve their potential regardless of their background and want to play a part in helping them succeed then we would be delighted to hear from you.

If working with talented and dedicated people is high on your priority list, then this Corporate Relationships opportunity with Variety, the Children's Charity, will be right up your street. Yorkshire is Variety's most successful regional team and this brand-new role will take ownership for corporate partnerships in all its many forms.
Variety supports sick, disabled and disadvantaged children through a range of core programs; wheelchairs, Sunshine Coaches, specialist equipment, Variety Great Days Out and special projects. Although it's a national charity, Variety retains the values and work ethic of a small organisation, which makes it a happy and collaborative place to work.
Delivering a busy programme of fundraising events that includes Yorkshire's largest property awards, you'll join a small team with eclectic and diverse expertise from a range of sectors. As part of this melting pot of talent, you'll bring ambition, confidence and a strong track record of building creative partnerships to generate income.
With an existing portfolio of warm contacts in the commercial sector, it will be your job to develop and maximise relationships outside the events calendar using creative engagement techniques that will include CSR initiatives, sponsorship and Charity of the Year partnerships. You'll also engage the network to leverage new opportunities and establish new relationships, as well as mapping out the regional business market to approach organisations whose charitable ambitions match Variety's.
On Variety's wish-list for their dream candidate:
A proven track record of building successful strategic partnerships in the charity sector (although we'd be open to exceptional commercial candidates making a transition who can demonstrate an understanding of CSR). Passion, commitment and exceptional communication skills, both verbally and in writing. Polished at pitch delivery and someone who leads by example as a senior member of the team.
If you're as excited by this opportunity as we are, please send a copy of your CV to our regional consultant, Amelia Lee: [email protected]
We're looking to move to interview towards the end of January, but will close as soon as we have a strong enough shortlist so do apply ASAP if interested to avoid disappointment.

We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.
