Hearing from past pupils gives students resilience, confidence and the motivation to study harder. We are actively expanding our reach to more schools and pupils, particularly those who are disadvantaged.

The Operations Manager is a new role for the organisation, creating senior capacity to help drive forward the charity’s strategy. The post holder will be agile, responsive to new priorities and opportunities and able to drive forward initiatives at pace, with high quality outcomes. If you thrive in a role that is different from one day to the next, you have a thirst for learning and you’re confident working across teams and with stakeholders of all levels of seniority, then this is the role for you.

Pre-pandemic we had three permanent office spaces, though we are presently working remotely and using touch down space while we allow things to settle back to a more normal position. We will be reviewing the charity’s requirements and consulting staff on preferences in the Autumn and it is likely that we will take a base in London and Manchester at some time after that. We will consider remote (UK based) applications for the Operations Manager role, though candidates will need to travel to London at least monthly.

We would particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates and people with lived experience of the communities we serve. We are an equal opportunities employer committed to recruiting a diverse workforce. 

We can offer you a supportive working environment with plenty of learning and development opportunities. You’ll work with dedicated, determined colleagues and witness the tangible difference our work makes to the lives of young people across the region. We live by our values of social justice, collaboration, innovation and role models. If these values resonate with you, and you have the qualities and skills we need, we’d love to hear from you!
