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.
