We’re an award-winning charity running local learning centres in the heart of the communities where the young people we support live. Our centres provide a high-impact education programme which includes practical learning support, pastoral care, and motivational and confidence-building activities for young people aged 7-18. Our aim is to enable students from the least advantaged neighbourhoods to realise their ambitions and achieve their wonderful potential.
As the UK’s leading university access organisation, our staff team is helping over 50,000 young people each year at its 44 learning centres and extension projects across England and Scotland, and we plan to scale-up our provision to 50 centres over the coming years.
We are looking for someone who will enjoy working each day with young people and who will thrive in a frontline, community-based, fast-paced and rewarding role. You will be taking up a fixed-term contract as an Education Worker at our
centre in Edinburgh.
Location: IntoUniversity Craigmillar
Contract: Full-time, fixed-term until August 2026
Applications close: 9am Friday 13th February 2026
Start date: As soon as possible, to be agreed directly with the successful candidate
Salary
£28,250 per annum
What could my day look like?
The Education Worker role is a frontline, fast-paced and rewarding role where no two weeks will look the same. A typical day will have different activities, possibly spread between the IntoUniversity centre, partner schools and the offices of a corporate partner.
In the morning, you might be setting off with resources to run a workshop for sixth-form students in their secondary school. In the afternoon you may be setting up the classroom ahead of running Primary Academic Support for young people in your IntoUniversity centre. On other days, you may be travelling to a corporate partner to run a business simulation workshop for 15 year-olds or leading a group of final year primary school students on a campus visit for their graduation.
As an Education Worker, you’ll always be delivering the programme as part of your centre team, which means that any delivery is always a team effort.

Do you thrive on initiative and balance kindness and understanding with strong organisational skills? Can you support 24 older women to move from temporary accomodation to their new homes?
The Sheppard Trust provides homes for older women in housing need, and we support them to live independently. We reduce loneliness and isolation by fostering a supportive community spirit.
We're planning to move to brand-new, purpose built accommodation near Hampton Court village in Surrey. Whilst we wait for the build to complete, 20 of our existing residents are temporarily housed in Mill Hill, with 4 housed in Greenford. Their new homes are expected to be ready in July 2026. The aim of this role is to support these residents before, during and after our move, as well as to plan, organise and deliver the logistics of the moves.
We're a small friendly team who are currently flexibly hybrid working. This role is based on 21 hours a week, with two visits per week to Mill Hill and occasional visits to Greenford and Hampton Court. The rest of the work could be carried out from home if desired. From July to September when the moves take place the workload will be higher and more on-site attendance may be necessary on move days.
The right appointment is important to us, so we're willing to discuss proposals for alternative working arrangements including adding additional responsibilities to create a full time role. There will be the opportunity to apply for permanent positions at the new site if wished.
You’ll bring:
- excellent people skills, and the ability to build trust with a wide range of people
- an understanding of the needs and concerns of older people and the desire to make a difference to their wellbeing
- the ability to work proactively and independently using your own initiative
- a strong commitment to safeguarding.
We can offer:
- hybrid working
- a salary in the range of £35K – £37.5K pro rata
- membership of the Social Housing Pension Scheme (defined contribution)
