Use research to shape how we approach schools, tailoring messaging and timing so conversations feel relevant to their context and priorities.
-
Carry out focused desk-based research using school and trust data (GIAS, DfE, FSM/IMD, MAT structures, regional insight) to help us decide where to focus our time and energy.
-
Share insight with colleagues, including patterns emerging from both the data and conversations with schools.
-
Support events and outreach activity by helping identify who to invite, shaping follow-up, and ensuring learning feeds back into future targeting.
-
Take on practical research and follow-up work that enables senior colleagues to focus on larger MATs, strategic partnerships and more complex opportunities.

-
Understood our segmentation logic and data sources, and started to have ideas of how to support this work.
-
Begun supporting early outreach with named schools and trusts.
-
Held your first qualification calls (supervised and supported).

Created lists of priority schools and groups based on need and opportunity.

Shared insights that support targeted campaigns.

Helped progress a number of schools through to joining.

Provided useful insight that shapes where we focus.

Supported regional or trust-level activity.

Helped build a warm list of schools not yet ready to join.

Sharing patterns and opportunities with colleagues.
-
Helping ensure that schools have a clear, positive experience of Voice 21 from first contact.
This job is for you if...

-
You are curious, friendly and motivated by helping schools take part.
