Carers are at the heart of everything we do. That's because unpaid carers are the people holding their communities together. Caring can be rewarding, but far too many carers are facing tough life challenges that can make it hard to keep on going. It could be money worries because they've had to give up work or the sheer exhaustion that can come from caring. Carers, of all ages, including young carers, need much more support. And that's why we're on their side, fighting for the recognition they deserve and delivering the services they need most.
We do this by partnering with our UK-wide network of local organisations, who collectively reached over one million carers last year. We work with our network to deliver the best possible support for carers - both nationally and locally. At a national level we raise funds, influence governments and campaign for change. Then we turn this into what carers really need: small grants, up-to-date information and practical support.
Our ideal candidate:
- Proven experience in project management using Agile and Waterfall approaches, particularly in CRM implementation or similar digital transformation projects.
- Strong understanding of Dynamics / Salesforce CRM systems and their application in a non-profit or charity context.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders.

Join our small and friendly team, working remotely, this summer as a chance to experience working in an edtech environment and use your mathematical skills. We are looking to appoint an intern to support our work over the summer period (including September) across a range of organisational functions.
Summer is an important period for us: teachers and students are on holiday, so it’s a chance to plan and prepare for the year ahead, particularly ahead of our busiest time for subscription and account setup in September. We are therefore looking for an intern to work across three areas:
-
Quality assurance (QA) across our question answering functionality. Our coders have developed thousands of question generators that need to be tested to ensure they work as intended; we also upload real GCSE and A level questions that need to maintain fidelity to the real thing while being translated into an online environment. You’ll be testing these questions, finding ways to break them, working out where equivalents don’t work when they should - or shouldn’t - using your mathematical knowledge in a unique way.
-
Customer support. We receive around a dozen emails to our support inbox each day from teachers and students who need help with account management and users who’ve spotted something that’s broken. We’re seeking someone who can efficiently problem solve account issues and act as a detective: working out how to replicate an issue a user is having, effectively document it, and pass it onto our devs to fix.
-
Social media administration. Jamie might be the face of our social media channels it couldn’t happen without support around the edges. That includes captioning/transcription, adding titles and descriptions, and using our site tooling to link videos to our platform. Some of this is routine, but some requires judgement and social media nous, like deciding on what makes for an effective caption.
Beyond these duties, we intend on making the most of the appointee’s strengths to delve deeper into at least one of these areas with dedicated projects to be presented to the management team. That might be presenting a big-picture vision of how we can increase fidelity to real exam questions in an online environment, or experimenting with AI supportdesk tools to respond to queries, or designing a social media content strategy that aligns with our goals – all areas that aren’t urgent to fix, but have high potential to make a difference. We know we can always learn and improve, and hugely value the insight of fresh pairs of eyes. Our ideal candidate will be keen to get stuck into these challenges and relish the experience to work with a wide range of our team members.
For a full job description, including more about our organisation and the job requirements, see the PDF attached.
Send us your CV (max. 1 page) and brief cover letter via Charity Job by the closing date, Monday 30th June. We will shortlist on an ongoing basis. Interviews will be conducted remotely and include a written task relating to the role responsibilities.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
