About The Access Project

In the UK today, students from the most advantaged backgrounds are six times more likely to make it to a top university compared to their least advantaged peers. To change this, The Access Project supports students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access top universities, through a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring. We work with them to make good applications, get the grades and transition to university.

Our approach works: our students are more than twice as likely to place at top universities compared to similar peers.

Through the COVID crisis, we have remained student-focussed and continued our support by rapidly moving all provision online. In summer 2020, we were selected as a Tuition Partner for the highly competitive National Tutoring Programme, in recognition of the quality of our work. This partnership has enabled us to expand and we now serve 1,700 students in London, the East and West Midlands and Bradford. As the country emerges from COVID, tackling educational disadvantage is an urgent social challenge - a challenge we aim to meet by expanding our footprint and reaching more students than ever before.

Why we need you

The Access Project has the insight, data and student stories to be prominent in this debate and has achieved a significant increase in national media coverage over the last year. Making the most of the charity’s growing profile will play a central part in attracting more volunteers and donors, raising awareness of the educational disadvantage and influencing change.

The successful candidate will be passionate about levelling the playing field for disadvantaged young people in education, with significant experience of communications strategy development. You will have a strong editorial eye and copywriting skills. You will build strong relationships with colleagues across the organisation and with journalists and ambassadors for our cause.

Some initial focus areas for the role will be:

1. Work with the Partnerships Director and senior management team to finalise an integrated communications strategy. As part of this, identify key pieces of work to take forward and recommendations for the future structure of the communications team.
2. Lead a review of TAP’s website, refreshing content and consulting across the organisation to produce recommendations for redesign and future maintenance of the website.
3. Secure high profile press coverage for The Access Project around A Level results day in August and proactively spot and take advantage of other media opportunities as they arise.
4. Look into the feasibility of TAP using high profile ambassadors to build its profile and how these would be managed, and research candidates.
5. Line management of our Senior Communications Officer.

Place Based Programmes Manager

Reports to:   Head of Place Based Impact & Partnerships,

Youth Endowment Fund

Salary: £40,000

Location: Central London

About the Youth Endowment Fund

The Youth Endowment Fund is a bold new attempt to put early intervention at the heart of efforts to tackle youth offending.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in violent crime. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. For children and young people, there have been particularly large increases in those who are both the perpetrators and victims of offences involving knives. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in violence. Many organisations have this calling. Our unique role is to identify what works best and build a movement to put it into practice.  A critical part of our work is our place-based activity. We know that violence is not evenly distributed across England and Wales. Children in certain neighbourhoods are particularly vulnerable to becoming involved in violence. We want to change that. How? We want to find out the best ways to involve local residents in making change happen. We also want to find the best ways that organisations like schools, the police and social care can work better together. We believe if we can get this right, we can make a lasting difference to children’s lives. Your role is pivotal to this.

Key Responsibilities

As a key member of the Team your job is to work with the Head of Place-Based Impact & Partnerships to build and manage the systems, processes and partnerships that will make this work a real success. To do this you will:
 

• Assist in developing the best processes and systems to manage our place-based grant giving, monitoring and evaluation.
• Create reports, analyse data and prepare dashboards and other reporting tools to ensure our place-based work is performing to consistently high standards.
• Manage place-based risk registers to ensure robust risk management and mitigation.
• Build strong relationships with our place-based grantees and provide ongoing management and support through the life of their YEF funding. You will also have responsibility for monitoring the performance of grantees and ensuring targets are met.

• Help with assessing funding applications and think strategically about how we organise our funding rounds to achieve our goals. You will help to design our place-based grant application processes and applications and help manage our engagement with potential applicants.
• Work closely with grantees, external evaluators and our own Evaluation Officers to support programmes that maximise our learning and ensure the organisations we fund are using and creating evidence on what works best and are learning from each other.
• Represent the Youth Endowment Fund at external events.

• Regularly review and improve processes to increase efficiency and impact.

About You

You are this sort of person:

• You don't want your days to pass without making a difference. You want to play a significant part in a charity that is making a difference.
• You want to work in a job that makes young people safer. This issue matters to you. You don’t need extensive experience in grant making, you just have to be committed to learning it, but you do have to understand the sectors we work with, the challenges facing young people and what organisations face when implementing delivery programmes.
• You have incredible judgement. You are able to reach sound and considered judgements about the viability and suitability of applicants based upon our given criteria, often using detailed written and financial information, and are able to deliver constructive feedback to organisations. You can also identify when things aren’t going to plan and be proactive with sharing observations and recommendations.
• You are an optimiser. You look for solutions and think creatively to overcome challenges. You are curious, hungry to learn and always looking for ways to improve our work to have the greatest impact on young people’s lives.
• You love well-designed systems. You are committed to designing and maintaining the best processes to make sure we manage our funding rounds well. You know this is critical to effectively managing multiple, large-scale funding programmes and competing priorities.
• You win people over. People tend to warm to you and respect you. You have built good relationships with people at every level inside and outside the organisation and have managed large networks of stakeholders with different interests and priorities. You are excellent at customer service and can professionally handle issues that come up within your grant portfolio.
• You work very well in a team. You are not motivated by being the individual winner. You want the team as a whole to succeed. You don’t care who gets the credit as long as things get done.
• You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, backgrounds and values.
   

While it is not a criteria, we are especially interested to hear from applicants who have lived experience of youth violence.

It is 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.

This position will require a DBS check to be performed, but a record is not a block to performing this role.
