Introduction to Reset
Reset is a bold new incubation designed to dramatically change the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in England today for the better.
Reset exists for children who are on, or at risk of being placed on Deprivation of Liberty orders due to the high risks they face from themselves or others, their complex and intersecting needs, and due to the lack of effective support available.
The children Reset will support are likely to be aged 12 to 18 and face complex challenges that often stem from the impact of traumatic childhood experiences, such as mental ill-health, self-harming, being sexually and/or criminally exploited and getting caught in harmful risk-taking behaviours including the use of harmful substances such as drugs and alcohol.
Reset is determined to ensure that, wherever possible, children are able to thrive back within their own families and/or communities.
About the role
We are looking for a highly organised, proactive and thoughtful coordinator to support the Chief Executive and founding team during this exciting early stage of Reset’s development.
Alongside executive support, this role offers exposure to the breadth of work at Reset, from operations to communications, philanthropy and wider organisational work.
To thrive in the role, you will be highly organised, proactive, detail-oriented and keen to contribute across a small and ambitious team where no two days will be the same. You will enjoy working flexibly and collaboratively, building relationships, and helping things run smoothly for the team and partners around us.
This role will play an important part in helping shape Reset’s culture, systems and ways of working during this early stage of development.
With a strong commitment to your growth, we offer support to help you excel professionally and advance your career, as well as a flexible working culture that champions both impact and balance. We provide in-office collaboration time with genuine flexibility to support your wellbeing, personal commitments, and life outside work.
Job Description
The role:
Reset’s Coordinator will provide high-quality organisational and administrative support to the Chief Executive and wider founding team, enabling them to work efficiently and to maximum effect.
You will play an important role in keeping the organisation running smoothly day-to-day while driving key projects and priorities across the organisation. As part of a small, high-impact team, you will gain broad exposure to a wide range of work, take on real responsibility and play a vital role in helping Reset establish itself successfully.
This role would suit someone who is highly organised, eager to learn and energised by a fast-moving and mission-driven environment where priorities shift and no two days are the same.

Coordination and Administration
Stakeholder Support

Who we are looking for

Essential skills, experience, and attributes
Desirable experience
Development Opportunity

Why we’re needed
Across the UK, over 4 million children are currently living in poverty, driving increasing demand for essential items and support for families with young children. In 2024 alone, baby banks supported over 219,000 families, a 35% increase on the previous year.
And demand is outpacing supply. Many baby banks are being forced to turn families away.
Baby banks are community-led organisations that provide essential items such as clothing, nappies and equipment to families with young children experiencing poverty or crisis. They operate in diverse ways and often offer support and signposting in addition to the material goods, reflecting the needs of their local communities. Baby banks have grown rapidly over the past decade in response to rising levels of need. However, this growth has largely been organic and fragmented.
BBA exists to support, unite and advocate for baby banks: strengthening collective impact, unlocking national opportunities, and helping a fast-growing and diverse movement operate with greater voice, reach and resilience.
The Baby Bank Alliance (BBA) was co-founded by Purposeful Ventures, Save the Children UK, Little Village and the Bristol Baby Bank Network. Since its founding, BBA has built strong national partnerships, secured significant funding and goods for baby banks, and raised the profile of the sector through national media and corporate partnerships (including with organisations such as IKEA).
Currently incubated by Purposeful Ventures and Save the Children UK, BBA is now moving into its next phase: in Summer 2027 we will become an independent organisation and are on the journey to build the national recognition, scale and sustainability to meet growing need.
BBA continues to work closely with its co-founders and incubating partners, who are expected to remain important collaborators as the organisation transitions to independence.
The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-impact organisation at a pivotal moment.

Job Description
Initially, this role will be employed by Purposeful Ventures. Once BBA becomes independent, the CEO and other members of the BBA team will transfer to direct BBA employment under TUPE. Your terms and conditions of employment will remain unchanged.
What success looks like:
Organisational leadership: a small but highly effective central team, operating in line with BBA’s principles and with the needs of baby banks at the heart of decision-making.
Purpose of the Role
The Chief Executive Officer will lead the Baby Bank Alliance through its transition to independence and into its next phase of growth.
This is a unique opportunity to shape a growing national organisation — building long-term sustainability, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring BBA can continue to support baby banks across the UK.
The role is externally focused, with a strong emphasis on growing income, building partnerships and raising BBA’s profile, alongside leading a small, committed team. Working closely with the co-founders and incubating partners, drawing on their expertise and networks, will remain crucial in the transition to independence and beyond.

About Chapter One
Chapter One is a dynamic, growing charity with a vision of a world in which all children have the literacy skills needed to thrive. Our mission is to close the reading gap by providing children with one-to-one support at the time they need it most. We work in thirteen areas/regions of the UK and will support over 4,000 children in 2026-27.
Our unique Online Reading Volunteer programme pairs struggling five to seven-year old (Y1-3) readers with reading support volunteers who are working professionals. The volunteer ask is very focused: readers commit 30 minutes a week to read with a child using a bespoke digital platform for an entire academic year. The results are transformative, boosting children's reading confidence and ability.
From a school perspective, online reading volunteers provide direct, meaningful literacy support for up to 10 pupils per class. The programme is particularly suitable for communities where it might be challenging to find parents and other volunteers who can commit to physically visiting schools to boost reading. For more information please visit our website and watch this short video!
About the Role
Chapter One is seeking a London Programme Manager who is an excellent communicator and is able both to motivate and support schools and teachers to implement our online reading volunteers programme, and also to ensure that the programme’s impact and benefit to disadvantaged communities is maximised throughout the academic year.

Ensure a smooth initial launch of Chapter One’s programme in every classroom.
Fully understand the operation of the Chapter One platform and database and effectively communicate this to others as needed.
Liaise with colleagues performing technical and volunteer support roles.
Through regular visits to/contact with schools, provide on-going embedded professional learning and support to teachers throughout the year as needed.
Proactively monitor classroom adherence/fidelity to the Chapter One model, including systematic review of data reports and volunteer feedback, taking proactive action to resolve problems that arise.
Analyse and manipulate data (largely in Google sheets) to produce reports and identify trends.
Create regular data summaries for all participating classrooms.
Lead annual review meetings for senior leadership at participating schools.
Support programme monitoring, evaluation and research as required.
Coordinate in person and virtual school ‘visits’ of volunteer teams to classrooms where necessary. This may include opportunities for Chapter One children to visit the office of the volunteers.
Liaison with corporate partners as required.
Weekly communication and status updates with Senior Programme Manager(s) and wider team.
As a new school year approaches, secure commitments from returning schools and help find and target new schools to join Chapter One’s programme.
We are looking for applicants with the following essential qualities:
Highly motivated individual with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills.
Proven track record of working at a senior level in education, project management or a related field.
Proven strength in both written and verbal communication.
Highly IT literate, with excellent computer skills, able to troubleshoot software and technical hardware issues, adept with Google suite and Microsoft Teams.
Ability to manipulate and analyse data to draw useful conclusions to improve programme delivery.
Proven ability to work independently.

Ability to adapt and embrace a changing environment.
Ability to drive and access to a car for work purposes.
