Looking for a career with purpose and a clear path for development?
As a social worker, you’ll work directly with children and families to make sure children are safe, supported and able to thrive. It’s a career that offers stability, progression and the chance to make a lasting difference. On this programme, you’ll be supported from day one and gain the skills, experience and master’s degree to succeed, wherever your career takes you.
About the programme
Approach Social Work is a fully funded training programme that helps you step into children’s social work with the training, tools and support to make a difference.
On the programme, you’ll develop a deep understanding of child-focused practice and how to build relationships that create real change. You’ll also explore anti-discriminatory, anti-oppressive and anti-racist approaches — and earn a master’s degree along the way.
What to expect
Year one:
-
Begin study for your postgraduate diploma
-
Work with children and families within a local authority, supported by experienced tutors and practice educators
-
Receive a bursary of £18,000 or £20,000 (depending on location) to help with living and travel costs
Year two and three:
-
Move into a paid role as a newly qualified social worker (up to £34,000, or more in some London boroughs)
-
Keep working towards your master’s degree
-
Join the Frontline Fellowship, a national community offering career-long support and development
The role:
You’ll learn how to build relationships, make difficult decisions and advocate for children’s safety and wellbeing. That means:
-
Visiting a child at home or school
-
Supporting a parent through difficult circumstances
-
Working with teachers, health professionals or police
-
Writing reports and helping decide what’s safest for a child
It’s a role that takes empathy, resilience and strong judgement, rooted in anti-racist, anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory practice.
Who we’re looking for
You don’t need experience in social work, just the right values, resilience and commitment to making a difference. We welcome applicants from all degree backgrounds and are especially keen to hear from those underrepresented in the sector, including men and people from racially diverse communities.
Eligibility requirements
-
Have at least a 2.2 (predicted or obtained) in an undergraduate honours degree (or international equivalent)
-
Have obtained GCSE English Language at Grade C/4 or above (or approved equivalent qualification)
-
Possess the right to work and study in the UK (including access to public funds) for the duration of the programme (until September 2029)

About Ambitious Impact (AIM)
Ambitious Impact (AIM), formerly Charity Entrepreneurship, launches organizations that cost-effectively improve human and animal lives at scale. To do so, we find talented potential entrepreneurs and provide them with world-class training, research, mentorship, and funding to start new organizations.
AIM’s work is grounded in the conviction that the world’s most significant problems can be solved by talented, dedicated entrepreneurs using evidence, innovation, and a laser focus on cost-effective impact.
Since 2018, we have incubated over 50 charities, providing talented founders with evidence-based intervention ideas, ongoing mentorship, and seed funding. Together, they are estimated to improve the lives of more than 75 million people and 1 billion animals worldwide and have been backed by organizations like GiveWell, Mulago, the Gates Foundation, and Animal Charity Evaluators.
Our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program currently launches ~10 nonprofits per year. In 2026, we want to double this, launching more than 20 charities improving lives at scale. Our bottleneck to launching more impactful charities isn't funding – it's finding the right people and ideas. Will you join us to help find the ideas that our next founders will turn into world-changing organizations?
If you’re curious what it’s like to work at AIM, we have just created a video where our team sits down to share their favorite aspects of the organisation, who might find it less of a good fit, and what kinds of people thrive with us.
About the Role
As a Recruitment Manager, you’ll drive our process for finding and selecting the founders of the new organizations we launch. This is a highly impactful role, for two key reasons:
-
The number of organizations we launch is currently limited by the number of exceptional founders we can find. Your ability to find and select an additional outstanding founder will likely result in an additional incredible organisation launching. For every Lucia Coulter & Jack Rafferty we find, we can launch another organisation like LEEP, preventing more than 44 million children suffering lead poisoning.
-
The biggest predictor of charity success we have is the strength of the co-founding team. If you can refine our recruitment process to reliably attract and select higher-potential founders, the organizations we launch will help more humans and animals at scale.
Our Recruitment team operates across two distinct, though overlapping, areas of work:
-
Outreach - attracting high-potential entrepreneurs to apply
-
Vetting - selecting the very best founders out of the applicant pool
We operate as a tight-knit team of four who work flexibly across the two domains. We anticipate a new hire doing both Outreach and Vetting work, with some possibility to specialise more in one direction or the other based on experience and preference.
At AIM, we prize the ability of staff to work with speed, autonomy, and flexibility. We don’t expect you to have prior experience in recruitment. We do expect you to be a fast learner and excited about taking on whatever work is most essential on a given day.
More concretely, you’ll split your time between the following:
-
Outreach: Designing and executing campaigns to reach promising applicants; writing newsletters, social media posts, and outreach copy; attending conferences and events; and working closely with our communications team to build partnerships and grow our applicant pipeline.
-
Vetting: Running multi-stage application processes, reviewing written applications and test tasks, conducting interviews, and refining our selection methods.
The role could be more junior or more senior, depending on the successful candidate: A more experienced hire will take more of a lead on designing the strategy they will execute, while a more junior hire will focus more on contributing to and learning strategic planning for the tasks they will execute at first.
Specific Responsibilities
(The exact % split may change based on updates to AIM’s strategy and the number of programs we are running.)

-
Designing and implementing multi-channel marketing campaigns across digital, traditional, and in-person channels (such as our website, newsletter, LinkedIn, job boards, and conferences)

-
Conducting and grading candidate interviews to help identify and select the most promising candidates to join our programs
-
Project management for each application round to ensure each candidate receives accurate and timely information on decisions, next steps, and other details of the application process

About You
We are looking for someone who is adaptable, fast-moving, and singularly committed to using their career to improve the world to the greatest reasonable extent they can. You will bring strong strategic thinking to the challenge of how and where we can find the very best potential founders, and how to select them from our applicant pool.
We do not expect prior experience in recruitment or communications/marketing. What matters is the ability to learn quickly, work flexibly, and stay focused on impact.
What makes you a good fit:
-
Excited by evaluating people’s skills, motivations, and potential
-
Great at clear, transparent, and engaging communication - whether in-person or in writing
-
Comfortable holding and weighing many different kinds of evidence when making judgments
-
Interested in the drivers of high-level performance and how to spot these, such as through a background interest in psychology, sports, or business
-
Able to work both independently and collaboratively in a small, fast-paced team
-
Passionate about AIM’s mission
Potential bonus skills or experience:
-
Hiring or recruitment experience
-
Familiarity with complex project management
-
Marketing or communications experience (especially in nonprofits or startups)
-
Data analysis or spreadsheet fluency

Familiarity with AIM, our incubated charities, and/or the effective altruism movement
What We Offer
-
A role with huge, tangible impact: the people you select will go on to found and staff high-impact organizations

Intellectual challenge and steep learning curve across recruitment, psychology, and outreach
-
Flat hierarchy, low bureaucracy, and a supportive, impact-focused team of ~20

Parental, dependents, and compassionate leave schemes
-
A range of other benefits, including a payroll giving scheme, staff tenure donation scheme, and a workplace pension

UK visa sponsorship and relocation support if needed
-
A workspace in our vibrant London office hub for impact-focused organizations and AIM alumni, with flexibility to work remotely
Possible Progression to Director of Recruitment
While this role is advertised at the Recruitment Manager level, AIM’s current Director of Recruitment will be leaving their role in the next 6 months. For an exceptional candidate, we would be open to discussing an accelerated pathway into a Director of Recruitment position.
In this case, we would be particularly interested in candidates who bring:
-
Demonstrated experience in complex project management and running multi-stage processes
-
A track record of team leadership and people management
-
The ability to provide strategic insight and shape the future of AIM’s recruitment, including the direction of our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program
If you are excited about stepping into a more senior leadership role, you will be able to flag your interest in this in the application form.
Application Process
Our application process is designed to be efficient and informative. Our application is designed to identify and evaluate skills that are actually predictive of an applicant’s performance on the job (such as test tasks) rather than conventional but less predictive assignments (such as cover letters). We only invite candidates to the next stage if we think they have a good chance of advancing, and take care to choose tasks and interview questions that will also give you a good sense of the role and our culture.
For this staff role, we will ask candidates to complete the following stages:
-
Written application (30–60 minutes)
-
Short test task & record interview (2 hours total)
-
Job simulation task (3 hours)
-
Final interview (~75 minutes)
-
Reference check
Applications close on October 19th. We assess applications on a rolling basis and encourage early applications.
Diversity and Inclusion
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We particularly encourage applications from women, people of color, and neurodivergent applicants. If you need any adjustments during the application process, please email us.
We help you find and transition to a high-impact career with comprehensive support, removing barriers and accelerating your journey to maximize good.

“Research work at AIM is really unique in how applied it is. With most other research, you have to hope that you change someone's mind, or that anyone reads it. With AIM, you will have people picking up your work and dedicating their careers to working on the issue you have identified as little as 6 months later.
I've been here for six years because I love the work and think it is rewarding. Even though the process hasn't changed too much over that time, I haven't gotten bored because I kept looking into different ideas all the time, which keeps it new and interesting.”

The Youth Endowment Fund
Senior Change Designer - Area Leaders Programme
Reports to: Area Leaders Programme Change Lead
Salary: £52,700
Contract: 2-year fixed term
Location: Central London, Hybrid*
Closing date: Friday 10th October 2025 at 12pm
About the Youth Endowment Fund
We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
Last year, 244 people in England and Wales tragically died after being assaulted with a knife. Of these, 32 were children. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them. Even when violence doesn’t strike directly, we know that the fear of violence has a terrible effect on children’s lives.
The Youth Endowment Fund exists to try and permanently change things. To succeed, we must deeply understand how to reduce the violence that affects young people. We then have to make this information highly relevant and accessible to the people making decisions for vulnerable young people. In practice, this means we need to find out what works and what doesn’t through high quality qualitative and quantitative research into children’s lives. We then must convert this into really accessible content on what works, how delivery organisations (like schools, councils, police forces and more) can change what they do, how the systems have to change. We then need to work with and inspire those making decisions. Together, we believe we can change things permanently for children.
At the heart of this work is our new Area Leaders Programme. It provides support to local councils on what they can do in their towns and cities to change things. To work, the sessions need to be brilliantly designed with great materials and really well delivered. This is where you come in.
About the Area Leaders Programme
The Area Leaders Programme (ALP) brings together local partnerships in a town or a city to better protect children from being drawn into violence. These partnerships often include the police, youth justice services, children’s services, health, education, youth and community organisations.
We aim to do this by supporting areas to develop the five Ps of violence prevention:
- Partnerships: Build strong, accountable partnerships with clear roles, governance, and measurable goals.
- Profile: Understand the local drivers, context, and patterns of serious violence.
- People: Identify the children most at risk and ensure they get the right support at the right time.
- Places: Pinpoint high-risk locations and take action to make them safer.
- Practice: Share and apply best practice consistently across all key agencies.
About the role
As Senior Designer and Facilitator, you’ll play a vital role in shaping how ALP supports local partnerships. You’ll help turn evidence into practical action by designing engaging workshops, tools and resources that help professionals plan and work together more effectively. You will also take a leading role in facilitating active and inspiring workshops.
You’ll work closely with the ALP Change Lead, Senior Manager, our delivery partners and the wider Change team to make sure we’re constantly improving the support we offer.
Key Responsibilities
Design and Delivery
- Design creative, evidence-informed workshop plans and activities.
- Facilitate engaging workshops, both online and in person.
- Create visual tools that make complex ideas clear and easy to understand.
- Incorporate the voices and experiences of young people into ALP workshops.
- Develop and test tools that support areas to map local services, referral pathways and gaps in provision.
- Develop creative approaches to problem solving.
Collaboration and Support
- Work closely with local partnerships to help them identify challenges, opportunities and practical next steps, including creating local action plans.
- Support partnerships to navigate complexity and implement plans in the context of complex systems.
- Work as part of a collaborative, learning-oriented team, helping us continually refine our approach.
Learning and Improvement
- Capture insights from workshops and feed them back into improving the programme.
- Use design thinking to support other parts of YEF’s change work where needed.
Please review the full job description on our website, which includes the 'About You' section.
You must have significant experience in:
- A relevant design discipline, this could be service design, systems design, speculative design, policy design or a similar field.
- Applying design skills to address social purpose and/or inequalities.
- Workshop facilitation with participants from diverse professional backgrounds.
Ideally you will also have this sort of experience (but it’s not necessary to apply):
- A formal qualification in a relevant area of design, or applying design for social purpose, or relevant experience.
- First-hand knowledge of the system that supports highly vulnerable children, particularly those at risk of or involved in violence. You understand the barriers these children face and what it takes to get them the right support.
While it’s not a criterion, we’re especially interested to hear from applicants who have lived experience of youth violence.
It’s also important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.
Hybrid Working Details
The office is based in Central London. Those living in and around London are expected to be in the office for a minimum of 2 days per week. If you live outside of London and work remotely, you’ll be expected to work from the London office 2 days per month.
