About the Education and Employers charity
Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details here.
The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work.
Over 55,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 80% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee. There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring.
Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns such as Inspiring Women and others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 4,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please click here. All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 1.8 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place.
In partnership with the National Governance Association the charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement.
Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.
Our mission is to provide young people with the inspiration and motivation they need to achieve their potential, and so secure the UK&r... Read more

ABOUT THE ROLE
Our Data & Analytics Manager is a new senior management position in the IBD Registry that reflects both our fast growth and increasing maturity. The primary function of this role is to manage the effective collection, curation and utilisation of clinical data, surgical data, patient reported outcomes and other relevant data. The goal is to ensure quality IBD data is available to support our goals in quality improvement, service evaluation, pharmacovigilance / post-marketing surveillance and eventually research. You will especially play a key role in the curation, transformation and linkage of the IBD datasets required for the Hub with the Cambridge data specialists.
You will be part of a small and growing and highly collaborative team, reporting directly to and working closely with the CEO, as well as with clinical and academic data specialists including our Academic Lead, a doctor and senior academic in the Health Data department of the University of Liverpool.
ABOUT YOU
To be successful in this role you will be a delivery-focused problem-solver, both organised and adaptable, with massive attention to details and a practical hands-on style. You will have significant experience in data management across the data lifecycle, including ETL (using scripting languages such as Python, C#, JSON, XML), databases (primarily MySQL) and analytics environments (such as R/R Studio). You will have a strong academic qualification record, showing a disciplined numerate background as a foundation for your later experience in data. Ideally, you will have come from the healthcare or pharmaceutical industries, or as an alternative from a highly-regulated sector where both data protection and delivery are critical.

Above all, you need to believe in our mission and want to join us to make a difference: our small team makes a big difference in IBD across the UK and this needs to be more than ‘just a job’ for you.

Here, you’ll be given the opportunity to contribute to the work of our organisation as a whole, rather than focusing solely on the work of your team.
We are collaborative, inclusive, responsive, supportive and rooted in our community. We’re driven by a desire to make impactful change. If you think you would thrive as a member of our team, we’d love to hear from you.
The Role
As an Employment & Careers Advisor, you’ll support the delivery of our Employment Support service by recruiting participants through outreach and helping them to secure or progress in employment.
Our service addresses employment support gaps in the borough and beyond, with our main priority being groups focused on serving over 50s, lone parents and individuals with health conditions. We also work to address in-work poverty and support those who are stuck in low paid and insecure work.
Reporting to our Employment and Welfare Advice Manager, you will:
- Manage a caseload of individuals seeking employment support
- Carry out in-depth assessments and creating action plans for each participant
- Deliver tailored support through IAG, employment coaching and personal development
- Develop key relationships with local partnerships in order to access opportunities for our participants
About You
To join us as an Employment & Careers Advisor, you will need:
- At least one year’s experience in an employment and/or volunteering officer role
- Experience of being able to identify and break down participant’s barriers to help them progress into education or employment
- The ability to develop, manage and maintain strong relationships with participants
- Proficiency in the use of databases and all Microsoft packages
- The ability to provide and maintain weekly, monthly and quarterly reporting
- The ability to work in a busy and target-based environment
- A Level 3 IAG qualification (or the willingness to gain this within the first six months of your role)
Ideally, you’ll have experience of working with people who have been in long-term unemployment. Familiarity with the workings of central and local government would also be beneficial, as would the ability to develop and implement outreach plans to attract participants to our projects.
Other organisations may call this Careers Officer, Careers Advisor, Employment Service Co-ordinator, Employment Project Co-ordinator, or Training & Employment Advisor.
The closing date for applications is the 4th August 2020.
Webrecruit and High Trees Community Development Trust are equal opportunities employers, value diversity and are strongly committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all employees and all applicants for employment.
