Community and Events Lead Manager

You will be accountable for overseeing all of our events, external comms and activities aimed at increasing Students4Students’ impact in the local communities we operate in. You will be responsible for our team of Community and Events officers, who run events and community building activities in our branches.

Students4Students (S4S) is a member led charity which is split across 3 branches. Our focus is on increasing educational attainment for all pupils, irrespective of their background. Our biggest programme is currently our tutoring programme. However, we are now looking to expand our work to increase general awareness of the issues impacting educational inequality.

We believe that we can use our experience and knowledge from our tutoring programme to become a significant voice to the debates ongoing on how to fight educational inequality. We also think that raising our profile will have a positive impact on our tutoring programme. We are therefore looking for someone to help us raise S4S’s profile , run effective events and engage with the key debates that we care about.
