About School of Hard Knocks
School of Hard Knocks (SOHK) is one of the UK’s leading education charities, working in 29 secondary schools across England, Scotland, and Wales. Using rugby as a key delivery tool, we support young people who are struggling to engage in early secondary education - often because of anxiety, low confidence, disrupted home lives, or behavioural challenges rooted in trauma. For many of the children we support, life has already brought more hardship than most adults experience in a lifetime. Our purpose is clear: to help young people facing complex challenges break the cycle and move towards a safer, stronger, more hopeful future.
The SOHK Schools Programme is a two-year intervention working with cohorts of around 20 pupils from Year 7 through to Year 9. Pupils are selected by the school and are typically among the hardest to reach young people. Each week, we deliver half a day of rugby training and classroom sessions built around our 3Cs framework, covering topics such as growth mindset, goal setting, and decision-making, alongside monthly one-to-one sessions with every pupil. The programme’s impact is evaluated by SOHK staff, teachers, parents, and the pupils themselves.
90% of our participants report feeling more confident and more engaged with school after taking part, with long-term effects on attendance, attainment, and life outcomes. Find out more about our Schools Programme.
Since 2023, SOHK has been proud to partner with Impetus, a charity that invests in and supports organisations helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds succeed. This partnership combines investment with strategic and organisational development support, helping to strengthen our impact and set SOHK up for sustainable growth.
We are proud to be delivering long-term programmes that meaningfully reach hundreds of young people each year - but the societal need is vast. Our ambitious four-year strategic plan targets growth, aiming to bring our impactful programme to hundreds more young people each year.
“Despite the usual challenges that every education or sport for development charity faces, School of Hard Knocks really is unique. It is not so much what we deliver at a programme level (which is of course brilliant) but who we are as a team. If you are a values-led leader and love the idea of ‘team’, then School of Hard Knocks is the place for you.”

National Voices is the leading coalition of health and social care charities in England. We have more than 200 members covering a diverse range of health conditions and communities, connecting us with the experiences of millions of people. We work together to strengthen the voice of people: patients, service users, carers, their families, and the voluntary organisations that work for them.

Our approach to hybrid working
We recognise the importance of coming together regularly, in-person, as a team, so we can share learnings and spend social time with each other. We also recognise that people need flexibility, and that homeworking enables focused work and can fit well in people’s lives.
We ask all staff to take part in pre-arranged team meetings which take place every six weeks in our office space. We also might ask you to meet in-person with members of your team from time to time, or to be available for face-to- face meetings with clients and partners where this enhances the work.
We assume that this would usually not amount to more than one day per fortnight for people who work full time. We are happy to discuss how this sits in your life. This can be agreed by your line manager.
In addition, because this role involves engaging with and recruiting to a large network of VCSE organisations, the post holder will be required to regularly attend in-person events across England. These are likely to take place around once a month and may sometimes require overnight stays. Travel, accommodation and subsistence costs for events across England will be paid, however, travel to our London office will be at the expense of the postholder.
Please note that our offices are fully wheelchair accessible and that we are committed to making our workplace fully inclusive.

Join Liver UK at an exciting point in our development.
Liver UK is the national charity for people affected by liver disease and liver cancer. We provide expert information and support, raise awareness, promote prevention and earlier diagnosis, influence policy and ensure the voices of people affected by liver disease are heard.
Following the coming together of the British Liver Trust and Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, we are now Liver UK: one charity supporting people of all ages and with all types of liver disease.
We have strong foundations, an ambitious strategy for 2026–2032 and a clear goal to make liver health a national priority. We are now moving from a period of transformation into one focused on delivery, growth and impact.
We are looking for an experienced, highly organised and confident Senior Administrator to play a central role in helping our organisation run effectively.
The role
This is much more than a traditional administration role.
You will be at the heart of our day-to-day operations, providing high-quality administrative and operational support across Liver UK and working with colleagues at all levels, including our Senior Management Team.
We are looking for someone who enjoys creating structure, improving processes and finding ways to make how we work more efficient and effective. You will manage a varied workload, keep important actions moving, coordinate organisational processes and help ensure agreed deadlines are met.
You will need to be confident and appropriately persistent. You’ll build good relationships with colleagues, while also being comfortable following things up, challenging constructively and having clear and confident conversations about deadlines, priorities and standards.
You will also provide day-to-day supervision and support to our office-based Apprentice, helping them to organise their workload, develop their skills and build confidence in their role.
What you’ll be doing
· Providing senior administrative and operational support across the charity.
· Coordinating meetings, diaries, travel, events and other organisational activity.
· Managing central telephone and shared email services.
· Proactively following up actions, information and approvals across teams.
· Supervising and supporting our Apprentice and overseeing office-based volunteers.
· Maintaining accurate information within Raiser’s Edge and other organisational systems.
· Supporting data quality, GDPR and records management.
· Managing routine supplier arrangements and office contracts, obtaining good value and negotiating where appropriate.
· Supporting staff technology and systems, including laptops and telephony administration.
· Coordinating our monthly all-staff Touchpoints.
· Supporting office facilities, health and safety, publications and stock.
· Helping improve systems, processes and ways of working across Liver UK.
About you
You will already have significant experience in a busy administration, office operations or organisational support role.
You’ll be exceptionally organised, reliable and comfortable taking ownership rather than waiting to be directed. You’ll be able to manage competing priorities, spot what needs to happen next and see tasks through to completion.
Just as importantly, you’ll have the confidence and interpersonal skills to work effectively with colleagues at all levels, combining diplomacy and positive working relationships with appropriate challenge.
You’ll have strong written and verbal communication skills, excellent attention to detail and good IT skills. Experience of databases, CRM systems or similar organisational systems is important, while experience of Raiser’s Edge, the charity sector or a health environment would be an advantage.
Experience of supervising, coaching or supporting another member of staff, apprentice or volunteer would also be valuable.
You’ll enjoy supporting someone early in their career, providing encouragement, clear expectations and constructive feedback to help them build confidence, develop their skills and succeed in their role.
Why Liver UK?
Liver disease and liver cancer are among the UK’s fastest-growing and most under-recognised health challenges. They affect people of all ages, and the need for earlier diagnosis, better treatment, prevention and support has never been greater.
This is an opportunity to join a committed national charity at an important point in its development and to take on a role where strong organisation behind the scenes has a real impact on what the wider charity can achieve.
Please apply through CharityJob with your CV and a covering letter explaining why you are interested in the role and how your experience meets the requirements set out in the Job & Person Specification.
We will review applications and interview suitable candidates as they are received, so we may close the vacancy early. We therefore encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from candidates with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
We offer a range of benefits for our employees:
- 25 days elective annual leave (FTE), plus bank holidays.
- Life assurance 4x your salary starting from date of employment.
- 5% employer pension contribution, rising to 7.5% at 15 months and 10% at 27 months service (optional on contribution increase).
- BUPA Wellbeing Health Expenses plan; including dental, prescriptions and optical cover.
And many more…
