Are you passionate about helping children and young people overcome barriers to education? Do you have experience supporting young people affected by trauma, exploitation or exclusion to re-engage with learning and achieve positive outcomes?

If so, St Giles Trust is looking for an Education Liaison Specialist Caseworker to join our Violence, Exploitation and Safety Service (VESS), providing specialist education support to children and young people across London.

About St Giles Trust

An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need. Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others.

About the service

The Violence, Exploitation and Safety Service (VESS) supports children and young people affected by, or at risk of, violence, exploitation and extra-familial harm.

You will manage a caseload of children and young people, delivering one-to-one interventions and group sessions within Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), Alternative Provision and community settings. Working collaboratively with families, schools and professionals, you will help children access safe, appropriate education pathways while ensuring their voice remains central to every stage of support.

You will also advocate for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), helping families navigate education systems and secure the support needed to improve attendance, engagement and long-term outcomes.

What we are looking for

• Experience supporting children and young people with complex needs, including those affected by trauma, violence, exploitation or disadvantage.
• Good understanding of SEND, school exclusion, attendance, reintegration and education transition processes.
• Experience working with children attending PRUs, Alternative Provision or specialist educational settings.
• Experience completing assessments, managing risk and developing outcome-focused support plans.
• Experience working collaboratively with schools, families, local authorities and multi-agency professionals.
• Knowledge of contextual safeguarding, extra-familial harm, exploitation and serious youth violence.
• Experience delivering engaging one-to-one interventions and groupwork with children and young people.
• Strong communication, advocacy, assessment and case management skills.
• Good written and IT skills, including maintaining accurate case records and reports.

An Enhanced DBS check, including a Children’s Barred List check, is required for this role.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, access to clinical supervision, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, season ticket loan and much more.

We are an equity and inclusion confident employer. We welcome all applications, and we particularly encourage applications from people of the global majority (black, brown, multi- heritage) and those who identify as disabled, neuroexpansive, neurodiverse, with any protected characteristics and/or social barriers or challenges. We value the empowering and informative impact that all lived experiences and diversity of thought can offer the organisation.

St Giles will guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria set out in the Job Description for the vacancy.

Do your best work, for the right reasons.

We're looking for an HR professional who cares as much about process as people. You'll keep Oak's HR operations running accurately and efficiently, from recruitment and onboarding through to payroll and L&D, while acting as a reliable point of contact for colleagues and managers across the organisation.

Working closely across our teams, you'll drive continuous improvement in the systems and processes that underpin a strong colleague experience. You'll bring sound judgement, a collaborative approach, and a high standard of delivery.

We're a small team, and we make a big impact. Our People and Planning function is central to keeping it that way. If you want to be part of a high-performing team that holds itself to high standards, we'd love to hear from you.

Oak is a fully remote, mission-driven organisation offering high levels of flexibility, autonomy, and purpose. We’re a national not-for-profit organisation working in partnership with teachers to create high-quality, sequenced curriculum and lesson resources for pupils across all subjects and age groups.

Our culture has been independently recognised through:

�� In this role, you'll:

• Lead core HR lifecycle processes, information systems and HR reporting, including recruitment, onboarding and payroll, ensuring data is managed accurately and confidentially. 

• Manage talent management and engagement workflow processes and payments, including L&D, coaching, progression, reward and recognition.

• Continuously improve HR systems and processes to better meet the needs of the organisation, and proactively contribute to a positive colleague experience.

• Act as the focal point for HR related queries for the team, escalating complex and sensitive matters as appropriate, and proactively contribute to a positive colleague experience.

• Support all work across Operations and take on other general responsibilities as required

• Work in cross-functional and product-oriented squads with colleagues from across the organisation, as required.

• As a member of the Oak Team, you will contribute to the wider success and culture of the organisation.

�� We’re looking for

• 3 + years of experience managing HR lifecycle systems and processes.

• Qualified to CIPD level 5 (or equivalent professional qualification or experience in HR, employment law or related discipline). 

• Proven success of working with HR data and digital systems, with the ability to maintain, interrogate and present information clearly.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with proven ability to apply judgement to resolve day-to-day HR queries and issues.

  The successful candidate will have a desire to contribute across all areas to ensure Oak is successful. You will be comfortable working at pace, with a range of digital systems (including proprietary ones as required), and you will continuously look at ways that the team can keep getting better. You will be excellent at working as part of a remote team, building relationships and managing your time effectively.

�� Our Benefits

• 25 days annual leave, plus one extra day for each year of service (up to 28)

• Additional Oak closure days over Christmas/New Year

• 11% employer pension contribution (with no minimum employee contribution). Please note this is a workplace pension rather than the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.

• A 36-hour working week, with half-days on Fridays or every other Friday off.

• Fully remote working — we’ll support your home set-up and offer coworking options if preferred

• Twice-yearly in-person whole Oak offsites to collaborate, connect, and have fun (with other occasional team events in person)

• A culture that genuinely supports flexibility, autonomy, and trust

�� Inclusion and Belonging

We believe diverse teams build better products. We warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds, particularly those who are underrepresented in the tech and education sectors.

We use the Applied recruitment platform to help reduce bias in our hiring process.

�� Key Info

• Location: Remote, but you must be based in the UK with the legal right to work here

• Sponsorship: Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer visa sponsorship at this time

• Closing date: We’ll be reviewing applications as they come in and may close the role early

If this sounds like the kind of role and team where you could do your life’s best work, we’d love to hear from you.

Next steps

You’ll answer some questions related to your day-to-day job. Your answers will go through our sift process: all answers will be anonymised, randomised, and then reviewed by a panel of reviewers (real humans).

If you are shortlisted, we’ll invite you to the next stage, which will consist of a remote interview conducted over Zoom.

We love giving feedback, so at the end of the application process, we'll share how well you performed.

We aim to begin interviews during the week of 27th July 2026.

We are receiving excellent responses to our job advertisements. This may lead us to close the role early, so if you are considering applying, please get your application in early to avoid missing out.
