The charity: The Mark Evison Foundation is an exciting and rapidly expanding young charity promoting the personal, mental and physical development of young people, especially those with less opportunity. We offer a school award scheme to Yr. 12s (17-year-olds) in partner state schools in London, encouraging them to develop their own non-curricular challenges, which we then fund. The scheme brings out the best in our awardees, pushing them beyond their comfort zones: last year we had 4000 assembly sign-ups, who submitted (as groups or individuals) 560 applications from just over 90 schools, which were then all mentored. Finally, there were nearly 600 awardees.
The awards make a substantial difference to the confidence of the applicants, as well as their CVs and UCAS forms. We want students to do what interests them, taking control and using their initiative and energy independently – ‘in the driving seat’; and to learn many lifetime skills not taught on the curriculum. They carry out their awards adult-free.
We work mainly but not exclusively in areas of London where there is a poverty of experience and the cultural and social capital that employers often look for. The scheme helps students develop soft skills and confidence, and offers networking opportunities through our developing alumni scheme.
The process of granting awards occurs over an average of six school visits: we present at assemblies to generate interest and inspire applicants; we give workshops with interested applicants, talking through their ideas and commenting on draft applications, using our general guidelines; and students formally present applications to the Executive Trustee or Coordinator for judging.
Lt Mark Evison sustained mortal wounds in Helmand, Afghanistan in May 2009, trying to get his platoon to safety. His story inspires many of our young applicants, and his values form the backbone of the charity.
Role: We are seeking for a talented, personable, organised and energetic person with leadership qualities, initiative and flexibility, to join our school projects outreach team as its coordinator. You will organise the team and its work, and also help the team to present the Foundation at year 12 school assemblies, and then revisit over several weeks to help shape and plan their project proposals. As part of the role, you will assist the Executive Trustee with the judging process, dealing with risk, and ensuring plans are thought-through, safe, represent excellent value-for-money, and an appropriate level of challenge for the applicant. You will build relationships with teachers and our young beneficiaries, the award winners.
As a small charity the role will be shaped by you, working with the team. The role offers the chance to help drive the overall strategy to take the charity to a sustainable level. The post is up to five days a week, with scope for flexibility of time for the right candidate. The team is currently based in a private home.
Key duties in this varied role may include:
· coordinating the activities of the schools team
· helping the Executive Trustee with judging applications at partner schools
· delivering assembly presentations to cohorts of sixth formers (Year 12s)
· providing mentoring to interested applicants on site to ensure applications are eligible, practical and high-quality, through structured sessions and via email.
· encouraging applicants to pursue projects outside of their comfort zones, often doing things they have never done before
· assisting record-keeping about schools and award winners, helping gather data from award winners and schools and presenting it
· liaising with schools about appointments
· helping to establish our social media profile as appropriate
· driving up the profile of the charity, including contribution to our website as necessary
· assisting with general office duties as required
Terms and conditions
Salary is dependent on experience in the range of £30,000 – £35,000 pa pro rata (depending on experience), with 20 days’ holiday. There will be a 6-month probationary period. The post will be based in Southwark with frequent travel to schools across Greater London. Flexible working will be considered. The post-holder reports to the Executive Trustee.
Please send us a CV before 23 October, with a short statement explaining why you are interested in the role and how you meet the person specification. Suitable candidates may be asked to complete an application form subsequently. The interest statement and CV submitted above or posted to the Mark Evison Foundation, PO Box 59519, London SE21 9AL.

Hello!
Thank you for taking a moment to consider this opportunity.
You may not know The Children's Society - sometimes we can be too much of a well-kept secret (although this is changing and you've a big part to play ...) - but you'll definitely know why we exist. It's incredibly hard to be a young person in the UK today - and has been getting harder every year for as long as we've been listening to young people through our world-leading Good Childhood Report.
In 2020, the Board and Executive Leadership Team agreed a bold new strategy that we believe will transform the experiences of young people in this country. At this time, we agreed a new Vision and Goal, confirmed our Values and refreshed our Brand, along with developing a Theory Of Change that prioritises where we can best focus our efforts and informs our Impact Plan.
As we stepped into 2024, we commenced with the private phase of an audacious Major Appeal to generate c£100m of new funding over the next 8 years; we are building towards a public launch of this campaign throughout 2025. At the heart of our plans to achieve this appeal and the transformative impacts for young people are our Brand, Audiences and Storytelling - particularly as we centre the voices, needs and experiences of young people.
As the audience insight manager at TCS, you will help us to put our audiences at the heart of everything we do. You will use your knowledge of our target audiences, the wider charity market and our brand to inform effective and creative decision-making on campaigns and activities.
You'll help us to optimise activity and innovate by bringing insight together from a range of sources (primary and secondary) to ensure we are always audience first and insight led. You'll be responsible for horizon scanning and trend analysis to ensure colleagues across social impact stay abreast of new developments in and outside the sector. And you'll oversee our brand tracking and audience testing and will be responsible for managing and delivering qualitative and quantitative research projects liaising with external agencies as well as internal stakeholders.
With previous experience in an insight, strategy or research role, you will be an expert at interrogating qualitative and quantitative information; able to pick out the most useful points and build a persuasive strategy through effective story telling. You're proactive and excel at building strong stakeholder relationships. And you're always looking for new and better ways of gathering insight.
In order to be successful in this role, you must have:
-Experience of conducting primary research (quantitative and qualitative)
-A good understanding of the charity sector
-Strong analytical skill-set, being able to bring together data from a range of sources in meaningful ways
-Excellent communication and story telling skills
I've provided more information in our Application Pack. Are you ready for the next chapter of your insight career? Why not use your insight skills for good to help us give young people the childhood they deserve. I look forward to meeting you.
Stefanie
Head of Supporter Insight
The closing date for applications is at midnight on Wednesday 16th October 2024.
We are hoping to hold interviews on Tuesday 22nd and Thursday 24th October.
Should we receive suitable applications prior to the closing date we may close the role early so I urge you to submit your application at your earliest convenience.
