Head of social impact jobs

Making The Leap is an innovative societal change charity that aims to make a big difference. From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be. To say that this is an exciting time for the organisation would be an understatement, as our incredible funders, donors, partners and supporters have given us the chance to move to the next level, and have further influence and delivery nationally.

The ethos of the organisation is to be passionate about helping young people from less-advantaged backgrounds; build up other charities and community groups and want to partner with them or support them; want to work with businesses and organisations to get things done; and care deeply about addressing racial inequity.

The organisation has a number of strands: core Making The Leap; the UK Social Mobility Awards; the Social Mobility Podcast; The Social Mobility List and Black Charity Leaders.

We are seeking a proactive, highly organised and purpose-driven Programme Manager to lead the global delivery of the School Enterprise Challenge — our flagship entrepreneurship education programme.

This is a dynamic, multi-functional position suited to someone who thrives on ownership, collaboration, and impact. You’ll be part of a small, dedicated team passionate about education, entrepreneurship, and creating opportunities for young people worldwide.

As the programme is delivered in both English and Spanish, strong written and verbal Spanish language skills are essential.

You’ll deliver tailored 1:1 and group emotional wellbeing sessions with children aged 8–13 in schools across Brighton & Hove, with a focus on developing emotional literacy, resilience, and coping strategies. You’ll also plan and deliver Year 6 transition workshops and collaborate with families and professionals to ensure joined-up support.

This role sits within our Safety Net team, which has supported children and families since 1995. We work from a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective, with children’s voices at the heart of all we do.

 You will be responsible for:

• Delivering 1:1, group, and class-based emotional wellbeing sessions
• Building trusted relationships tailored to each child’s needs and identity
• Coordinating support with schools, families and professionals
• Managing a caseload and maintaining accurate records
• Following safeguarding procedures and contributing to service development 

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate:

· Understanding of emotional wellbeing, inclusion and child development

· Confidence working independently and as part of a team

· Strong communication and IT skills, including record-keeping

· A commitment to equality, child rights and anti-discriminatory practice

We’re a flexible, supportive employer. We’re happy to discuss any access needs, working pattern requests or adjustments that would help you thrive in this role.
