BACKGROUND

An exciting opportunity has come up within this young, dynamic charity to play a key role in helping Dallaglio RugbyWorks achieve its growth plans.

Dallaglio RugbyWorks is a long-term intensive skills development programme, based on the values of rugby, delivered to young people in alternative provision. The goal? To ensure they achieve sustained education, employment or training.

Dallaglio RugbyWorks was founded by Lawrence Dallaglio OBE, former England Rugby and Wasps Captain.  Having experienced a troubled time in his youth after the death of his sister, Lawrence found rugby, which he credits for helping overcome a very turbulent time in his life.  Lawrence recognised the power that rugby had in transforming his attitude, behaviour and aspirations and channelled that power into the development of RugbyWorks.

Dallaglio RugbyWorks works with teenagers from chaotic backgrounds with high levels of social risk factors such as troubled families, criminality and unemployment.  They have much lower success rates in education and employment compared to their peers.  RugbyWorks is designed to help these young people onto a positive pathway to achieve sustained education, employment or training with a particular focus on exposing them to various vocational opportunities. 

We are looking for a Part-Time Trust and Foundations Manager to join the fundraising team, and are looking for someone who shares our passion for helping young people; not afraid to be hands on and happy for each day to be different from the last and also shares our values:

• We Will Proactively Adapt
• Always Aiming Higher

New Schools Network

New Schools Network (NSN) is an independent charity improving the life chances of young people by supporting the creation and long-term success of new schools. NSN finds talented people and organisations, supports them to establish new free schools across the country and, through the Academy Ambassadors Programme, places high calibre business people as non-executive directors on boards of multi-academy trusts. The organisation is particularly focussed on supporting new schools in areas of high economic and social disadvantage and low educational performance.

By offering advice, guidance and support, the charity has been instrumental in helping hundreds of groups of parents, teachers, charities and schools to establish new schools, and has placed over 1,400 non-executive directors on boards of multi-academy trusts. Over the last six years, NSN has expanded its activities to support the ~740 or so free schools that are open or have been approved to open. With over 500 free schools already open and more in the pipeline,  this is an exciting time to join NSN to improve the quality of education in England by managing the work of NSN’s Delivery Team.

Next challenge for NSN? 

1. The Government has reitereated its commitment to free schools.  There has never been a better opportunity to drive the creation of new schools especially in parts of the country where the quality of existing local schools is not good enough.
2. In 2017, NSN launched an income-generating service that provides intensive support to groups during pre-opening. We believe there is potential to extend the support we provide to ensure that, once open, these schools have the support and tools they need to succeed.
3. The Academy Ambassadors programme has delivered consistently beyond expectations on the DfE grant to recruit to boards and now needs to consider enhancing and developing its services,  including looking at income-generating services and potential for philanthropic funding.
4. NSN has offices in London and Manchester and around 40 members of staff. The organisation currently has an annual turnover of ca. £2.5 million, which is comprised of a grant from the Department for Education and charitable donations.
5. Demand for NSN’s services to the education sector is increasing and we need to grow our income in order to meet the need. So we’re launching an ambitious programme to increase our fundraising income in the next five years.
6. To achieve this, we are keen to appoint a new Head of Fundraising and Partnerships to shape and deliver the future organisational funding for NSN . This is a genuine opportunity to influence and collaborate to take the organisation to the next level. We are hoping to meet with candidates who will have strengths in a range of fields - even if they do not have every element of experience highlighted below.
7. If you thrive on challenge, can handle high levels of accountability and have a proven track record of success, we can offer you the chance to engage in an interesting challenge, whilst contributing to changing the face of education across England.
