About us:

Hull and East Yorkshire (HEY) Children’s University is a local charity that strives to give every child the opportunities they deserve, no matter what circumstances they were born into. Many children around Hull and the East Riding do not have the same opportunities that other children have in the UK. Many have never been much further than the street in which they live and some children will never visit another city until they reach adulthood. Because of this, some children don’t have any aspirations for the future.

Society places a huge importance on academic success- but what about those children that don’t excel in academia? HEY Children’s University believes that every child is brilliant at something, and that might be something different to academic talent. But how can those children find out their unique talents if they don’t have the opportunity to try new things?

‘If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid’- Albert Einstein

HEY Children’s University gives local children the opportunities that they otherwise wouldn’t have and gives them the chance to discover their interests and talents- the chance to create their own dreams. The charity aims to light up every path that a child could take and show them their options. Despite what the name implies, HEY Children’s University is about ensuring that children know about all the pathways into careers: be that an apprenticeship, starting their own business, working their way up in a company or attending college or University. Every child should understand what pathways exist.

HEY Children’s University offers a diverse range of experiences that are designed to raise aspirations, confidence and self esteem. Some of these experiences include days at local businesses where the children learn about the industry, meet the staff and take part in a range of activities. The charity also gives children the chance to visit other cities such as London and Edinburgh, offering sleepovers in exciting venues such as the Natural History Museum and the HMS Belfast battleship.

Please email us for a more detailed person specification.

To apply for this role please submit your application or email uswith your CV and covering letter by Monday 13th February.

All applications must include a covering letter in order to be considered.

Perhaps you have been a headhunter, or you are currently working in the commercial sector in a role that requires you get to know important clients well and are ready for a move into the Charity sector where you can use your skills to make a difference to people’s lives.

Are you interested in understanding people, with a high level of emotional intelligence and thrive when you can use these skills to hit targets and grow income?

The role gives you the opportunity to develop your research and communication skills, when you plan to engage new donors and write compelling funding proposals and reports.

As we have recently returned to the office after lockdowns and restrictions easing, we are getting used to the new world and generally working a hybrid three of five days in the office.

What we’re looking for:

• A motivating, empathetic and persuasive communicator – you have clear and creative writing skills, are skilled at writing funding proposals and communicate confidently in person and over the phone. An ability to empathise with donors and communicate effectively about our work with children and families, and our strategy, is key.
• Friendly, enthusiastic and socially-focused – you quickly connect with others, build effective working relationships and have a sincere appreciation for people and how they are each uniquely motivated.
• Knowledge of the principles that underpin good customer care – you adhere to established guidelines, policies and procedures, and provide outstanding stewardship.
• You thrive working in a busy environment on multiple priorities simultaneously – results-oriented and a fast learner, you respond quickly to pressure and a changing environment.
• Confident use of MSOffice and experience of using a CRM database – you have strong attention to detail, are comfortable working with data, and produce high quality accurate work.
• Applications will be particularly welcome from those who have experience of cultivating long lasting relationships – working with high-net-worth individuals and/or trusts and foundations
