Class 13 is a Lambeth-based education charity committed to putting equity and relationships at the heart of education.
We imagine a world where every young person feels seen, valued, and safe in school. Our work focuses on transforming school environments by rooting out systemic inequities and building more inclusive and equitable environments for children, educators, families, and communities.
We don’t offer quick fixes. We work alongside school communities to create lasting, systemic change. Our four key principles guide everything we do:
-
Affirming the full humanity of every individual.
-
Nurturing critical thinking
-
Building community
-
Encouraging democratic engagement
About this role
This is a joint role delivered by Class 13 as part of two interconnected programmes in Lambeth. One is a long-term embedded pilot working deeply with two local schools to reimagine school culture from the inside out. The other is part of a borough-wide initiative commissioned by SEL ICB and supported by Black Thrive to improve emotional wellbeing for Black and mixed heritage children.
Both strands aim to create more human, equitable school environments—and we are seeking someone committed to walking alongside families, schools, and systems to help make this happen.
While the role is relational at its core, it also involves managing light but essential administrative and reporting tasks particularly during key programme milestones. This includes maintaining accurate records, preparing summaries of engagement sessions, and handling transcripts to ensure learning is captured and shared.
Role Summary
We are seeking a deeply reflective and relational School & Community Engagement Partner who isn’t afraid to ask bold questions or sit with uncomfortable truths.
This role isn’t about quick fixes or ticking engagement boxes—it’s about nurturing trust, challenging old habits, and reimagining what school can be. You’ll be at the heart of a long-term transformation project, working deeply with two Lambeth schools while also contributing to a broader borough-wide initiative that invites families, staff, and communities to imagine something better—together.
At its core, this work is about shifting power. About listening with care, convening with purpose, and walking alongside parents, carers, teachers, and school leaders as they navigate what change can look like when it’s built on affirmation, curiosity, and collective responsibility.
You’ll help strengthen the connection between schools and families through sustained relationships, collective inquiry, and shared action. Some of your work will be intensive and embedded, walking alongside schools to shift culture from the inside out. Other aspects will stretch wider gathering insight, surfacing patterns, and shaping ideas that ripple beyond a single setting.
This is not a traditional outreach role. It’s connective tissue—bridging classrooms, communities, and change. You’ll be a steady presence: listening, facilitating, building trust, and helping schools reflect not just on what they do, but why.
The School & Community Engagement Partner will report to the Head of Programmes and the primary lead work closely with school leadership, teachers, and local organisations to transform parent-school relationships.
Main Responsibilities
1. Deepen relationships and build community
-
Build consistent, trust-based relationships with parents, carers, staff, and wider community members, particularly those who have been historically marginalised by school systems

Be a visible and approachable presence at parents’ evenings, community events, school gates, and day-to-day school life
-
Support families to move from being consulted to being co-creators ensuring their insight shapes decisions, practice, and school culture
-
Foster connections not just between families and schools, but across families themselves, creating the conditions for mutual support and collective action
2. Walk alongside schools as they shift culture
-
Work closely with staff across both pilot schools supporting reflection, relationship-building, and democratic practice
-
Collaborate with school leaders, governors, and the wider Class 13 team to surface insight, challenge deficit thinking, and support community-led transformation
-
Contribute to family-led policy change projects, helping create space for shared decision-making and power-sharing in schools
-
Support the rhythm and routines of the embedded pilot showing up consistently in school life, from attending assemblies to noticing small shifts in culture
-
Lead structured interviews with teachers participating in the programme, creating a relational space to gather reflective insights using agreed guides.
3. Facilitate wider listening and engagement
-
Deliver structured engagement sessions in local schools as part of the SEL ICB programme, using the Appreciative Inquiry model (training provided)
-
Work with staff and parents to map what currently exists, identify challenges and possibilities, and co-develop practical, community-rooted solutions
-
“Reflect on what you’re hearing and noticing, and share learning that can support change—locally and across the wider network.
4. Learn, reflect, and grow
-
Participate fully in Class 13’s foundational learning programme (4 full-day sessions)
-
Engage in self-directed learning as part of the ICB programme
-
Contribute to monitoring, reflection, and participatory evaluation of both the embedded pilot and the wider borough programme
-
Maintain accurate records of meetings, interviews, and engagement sessions, including producing clear summaries and contributing to project documentation.
-
Join monthly peer forums and learning spaces across the borough to share insight, deepen practice, and support collective learning.

-
A background in community engagement, education, youth work or organising—particularly with parents, carers, or families

With a commitment to working collaboratively to prevent infection, the IPS is a supportive network for IPC practitioners, and delivers education and training within the IPC field. With 2,400 members across the UK and internationally, the IPS plays an important role in supporting and developing IPC professionals and advancing knowledge and best practices to safeguard public health.
Last year the IPS launched its new strategy: Working together to prevent infection. In order to deliver this strategy, in early 2024 the Board of Trustees took the decision to recruit the Society’s first staff team, moving the organisation from a model that had been led by volunteers and operationally managed with an association management organisation. The intention is this decision will transform the Society, taking it to the next phase in its evolution, and furthering our goals of supporting our members, improving IPC practice, ensure equity of access and support for a diverse and multidisciplinary workforce, and influencing and shaping IPC education and policy.
This is an incredibly exciting time to join an important organisation in the battle for public health and infection prevention, and a chance to work in close partnership with the Board of Trustees to create and execute new activities which will grow and sustain the Society for future IPC professionals and have a positive impact on the prevention of infection.

About Us
Millimetres 2 Mountains Foundation (M2M) is a charity dedicated to helping individuals rebuild their lives after experiencing physical or emotional trauma. Founded by former professional rugby player Ed Jackson and his wife, Lois, following Ed’s life-changing spinal injury, M2M uses the power of adventure, nature, and community to support people on their journey of recovery.
At the heart of the charity lies the M2M Development Programme - a bespoke, holistic support system tailored to each beneficiary’s unique recovery journey. Through one-to-one mentorship, a nurturing community, and the transformative power of the outdoors (culminating in life-changing mountain expeditions abroad), M2M empowers individuals to rediscover purpose, rebuild confidence, and move forward with lasting resilience. We take on eight new beneficiaries each year, supporting up to 24 individuals at any one time. Guided by our ‘inch-wide, mile-deep’ philosophy, we focus on depth of impact over scale, ensuring each person receives the tools, encouragement, and care needed to create life-long change. This includes access to grants for physiotherapy, psychotherapy, job retraining, and any other support essential to their growth. Everyone is met exactly where they are, with a personalised plan that reflects their goals, challenges, and potential.
In addition to our core programmes, M2M runs Together Outdoors - an initiative that harnesses the healing power of nature and connection through community-based mental health walks. Led by trained volunteers and Life Coaches, these walks offer safe, inclusive spaces for honest conversations, emotional support, and personal growth. Whether on a remote peak or a local path, M2M believes in the life-changing potential of movement, shared experience, and the great outdoors.
