About Impetus
At Impetus, our focus is on helping young people achieve positive education and employment outcomes to increase their chance of leading fulfilling and successful lives, irrespective of their background.
We tackle the three most difficult challenges that affect a young person’s ability to succeed in life in Britain today:
- Lost learning through absence, suspensions, exclusions from school
- Stagnation in education attainment outcomes, which means many are missing out on key qualifications like GCSE English and maths
- The large numbers of young people out of education, training and employment
We use our deep expertise and high calibre networks to give the best non-profits working in these sectors the essential ingredients to have a real and lasting impact on the young people they serve.
Through a powerful combination of long-term funding, direct capacity building support from our experienced team and our pro bono partners, alongside research and policy influencing to drive lasting systems change, we work towards a society where all young people can thrive in school, pass their exams and unlock the doors to sustained employment, for a fulfilling life.
We are resolutely focused on outcomes and impact, driven by quality evidence.
You would be joining a team that is passionate, rigorous, determined, creative and warm. We care deeply for our colleagues, our portfolio partners and the young people we serve.

Does every child have the right to "sparkle"? We think so.
At Thriving Through Recreation, we believe that equitable access to hobbies, sports, and the arts is a fundamental part of growing up. We work with children and young people navigating social, emotional, or educational difficulties, helping them find and fund the activities they love in their own communities.
We are looking for a proactive, empathetic, and highly organised Activities Support Co-Ordinator to join our team.
The Role
Working directly with our CEO, you will be the engine room of our Activities Support Programme. This is a primarily remote role, but because our heart is in the community, you must be based in Cambridgeshire to facilitate local connections and occasional travel within the county.
Your day-to-day will involve:
- Connecting: Triage and assess applications, building relationships with families and referring professionals to understand a child’s unique needs.
- Vetting: Conducting risk assessments and due diligence to ensure every activity provider we partner with meets our gold-standard safeguarding requirements.
- Facilitating: Managing the "matchmaking" process—finding the right club, negotiating payments, and tracking the budget.
- Evidencing: Collecting the stories and data that prove our impact, helping us grow and reach more young people.
Who You Are
You are someone who balances a big heart with a sharp eye for detail. You understand that "equity" means doing whatever it takes to level the playing field.
- Experienced: You have a background in social work, youth work, teaching, or a related field. You’ve worked with families facing disadvantage, and you know how to navigate complex family difficulties.
- Qualified: A degree or certification in Social Work, Youth Work, Education or a related field.
- Safeguarding Savvy: A deep understanding of safeguarding principles and child protection procedures.
- Independent: You’re comfortable leading frontline operations autonomously and can manage a budget with precision.
- A Multitasker: Ability to manage a budget, family case load and calendar without breaking a sweat.
- A Great Communicator: Whether you’re on a video call chatting with a parent and child about finger painting or liaising with a local activity provider, you can adjust your style to build rapport instantly.
- Local Knowledge: As a resident of Cambridgeshire, you’ll use your local insight to help expand our reach across the county.
Why Join Us?
- Be a Pioneer: You’ll be instrumental in shaping the future of a rapidly growing charity.
- Impact-Focused: You will see the direct results of your work as children gain confidence and thrive through recreational learning.
- Flexible & Inclusive: We offer remote working and value your unique journey. We encourage applications that evidence these requirements through paid or unpaid roles, as well as personal and professional experience.
Thriving Through Recreation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All short-listed applicants will need to submit a Safeguarding Self-Declaration Form, and all appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.

Villagers Connect Project – a great opportunity to join our team at Action in rural Sussex
Villagers Connect is a community development project which is working to sustain a strong and vibrant community in the villages of Colgate, Faygate and Rusper. It aims to build connections and relationships which increase confidence, independence and empowerment, particularly for the over 65’s.
We are seeking a part-time community development worker to work as part of a small team that is active in this rural location in the Horsham district. This role involves a good deal of community-based activity, engaging with older people and the wider community. This does therefore require someone who is understanding of older people and their interests, abilities and needs.
We champion an asset based approach to community development, which is about building on existing strengths and supporting local people to flourish; undertaking community led projects that create community cohesion and have lasting impact.
Key Objectives
· Support older people to access services and support locally that will meet their needs and improve their quality of life
· Improve the lived experiences for older people in these rural communities
· Build connections and relationships across and within the three parishes to reduce social isolation
· Develop new and support existing activities to enable a vibrant community
· Increase confidence, independence and empowerment amongst individuals, groups and community based organisations.
· Strengthen existing community assets, knowledge and skills in line with our asset based approach to the Villagers Connect Project
· Support community resilience by building community networks which are strong and sustainable into the future
Two years in, the project is well established and has gone from strength to strength. We are now seeking a new member of the team to help drive this project forward and enable this community to celebrate what can be achieved when people come together and support one another to age well and live full and active lives, despite the challenges of rural living.

The Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for the right candidate to lead our Training Team on developing and delivering training for all of National Numeracy's programmes.
Our training team is absolutely central to the success of our mission at National Numeracy. In order to reach and support as many adults and children across the UK as possible, we take an online train-the-trainer approach, by training Numeracy Champions and Volunteers in different settings. We do not teach any maths - instead we train Champions to raise awareness of the value of numeracy, supporting others to overcome anxieties, build confidence, and feel better about using and improving basic maths. We do not work with children directly, but train teachers as Numeracy Champions to support children and their families.
This team of two therefore have a busy calendar of training delivery, as well as the admin associated with this and with the work around capturing the impact measurement of our training. We are looking for someone who is not only an excellent and empathetic trainer who can confidently and reliably lead this dynamic activity, but can also work strategically with our Programmes Director to develop our training further, while line managing and developing our Training Officer.
The successful candidate will work closely with the other Programme Managers to ensure smooth and successful delivery of our activity, as well as across our wider team, managing the training budget, and liaising with our External Relations and Operations & Impact teams. This role is important in collecting impact and case studies as there it has regular direct contact with our Champions and our beneficiaries. There will also be opportunities to keep the whole National Numeracy team and our Board of Trustees informed about our training programme.
We are open to applications from across the UK but a candidate able to easily travel, by rail, would be advantageous.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Quality assurance is central to this role – we want our training to be of a very high standard and constantly improving. The Training Manager is responsible for securing continuing CPD accreditation for our training and for ensuring that our workshops accommodate accessibility needs wherever possible.
We recognise that there is more to do to improve diversity across our organisation and we are actively working to make meaningful, long‑term change. We are committed to building a workforce that better reflects the communities we serve and to removing barriers that may prevent people from different backgrounds from joining, progressing and thriving with us. Through inclusive policies, flexible working, fair recruitment practices and ongoing learning, we aim to create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued, respected and able to do their best work.
We actively encourage applications from people from under‑represented and diverse backgrounds, as we know a more diverse workforce will strengthen our organisation and help us deliver our mission more effectively.
We will not consider applications that do not include a CV, Cover Letter and answers to the screening questions so please make sure these are all provided when submitting your application.
