In the UK, in areas of disadvantage, up to 40% of children do not reach a good level of development by the age of 5. Our client’s vision is of a society that cherishes children’s development in the early years, where every child can thrive and achieve their full potential.
Using a collective impact approach, the organisation is driving and supporting collaboration between funders, the public, private and the voluntary sector to improve outcomes in the early years. Listening to the voice, and harnessing the power of parents, carers and families in local communities is central to the change that Thrive and Five seeks to make.
In just four years, our client’s work is making a difference, with positive progress of children who’ve had the benefit of the charity’s pilot programme. The impact of our work was recognised in Parliament as the Secretary for State delivered the Best Start in Life Strategy and the charity was invited to share our public/voluntary sector partnership model at the Government’ Summit to launch the Civil Society Covenant. The Department for Education is interested to see how our approach aligns with their mission to help 75% of children reach a Good Level of Development by 2028.

You will empower service users to engage effectively with community professionals such as mental health teams, social workers, housing providers, and Jobcentre Plus. Working flexibly within a team, you will help ensure full service coverage and meet contractual obligations.

They will have a strong understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with a range of mental health conditions and be able to provide support with dignity, respect, and clear communication.

Candidates should have good knowledge of local recovery tools, wellbeing resources, and mental health services, and be able to assess needs, risks, and aspirations to offer appropriate signposting.

Important Information for Candidates
If your application is successful, please be aware that you will be required to undergo pre-employment checks before a formal offer of employment can be confirmed.

The Education Access Coordinator will equip young asylum seekers and refugees to access further (FE) and higher education (HE) through advice and guidance, 1:1 casework and training for other professionals.
This role sits within the Education Access team: everything we do is focussed on supporting young refugees and asylum seekers into an appropriate form of education from primary school right the way up to university.
The team is separated into three work streams: access to schools, access to FE and access to HE. We also run a national email and telephone advice service through which young people, their families and the professionals who support them, can receive timely and accurate advice and support about any aspect of accessing education in the UK.
This role straddles the access to FE and HE streams of work and, although it would be helpful to have some experience of working in these sectors, our experience is that this knowledge can be taught and is not as important to us as other qualities and experience.
The successful candidate will, however, need to be able to understand and retain a great deal of complex information and then clearly articulate this to others both verbally and in writing. The ideal candidate would be someone who would relish becoming an expert in refugee access to FE and HE and would enjoy the problem solving element of navigating complex regulations to find the right solution for an individual struggling to access education.
The successful candidate will also need to have experience of and enjoy working with vulnerable young people both individually and in groups. A key element of this role is ongoing casework with individuals - where you will need to build a supportive and trusting relationship over the long term - alongside running one-off workshops for large groups where the priority is to quickly gain young people’s confidence and attention.
Finally, the successful candidate will be responsible for representing REUK’s access pillar externally. You will co-deliver training to a high standard as well as maintaining relationships with key stakeholders including local authorities, FE colleges, universities and other NGOs - it is therefore imperative that you have excellent people skills.
This role can be done 4 or 5 days per week, depending on preference (salary would be pro rata for 4 days).
Shortlisted applicants will be required to complete a task in advance of final shortlisting for interviews (which will be held in London on Friday 22nd August 2025) and references will be taken up prior to appointment. Please note that you must have the right to work in the UK and/or a visa that allows you to work in the UK for the duration of this contract. We cannot sponsor a visa for this role.
Please ensure you have read the applicant pack in advance of applying.
