About The Talent Tap
At The Talent Tap, we open doors to professional careers for young people in the places opportunity doesn't reach —through fully funded, in-person experiences and sustained support that stays with them. Our vision is a world where your postcode never limits your potential.
We support young people aged 17–24 who have the potential to succeed —and deserve the chance to prove it, because no one's career opportunities should be determined by where they grow up.
We deliver in-person opportunities at key moments through the year. In line with our new strategy, we are developing a holistic offer to support the young people we work with year-round.
What we can offer
Salary and pension: We are offering an FTE salary for the role of £28,000 FTE, pro-rated to 21 hours a week (our working week is 35 hours).
Annual leave: You will be entitled to 30 days of annual leave plus bank holidays (these will be pro-rated to reflect your hours).
Hours of work: As a remote and largely part-time team, we offer a great deal of flexibility. We’re ideally looking for someone who can work 21 hours/week spread over three or more days of the week. We need someone who can commit to some regular team meetings, including quarterly away days which might fall outside of your normal working pattern. Otherwise, we trust you to set the schedule which works best for you.
Location: Our team works remotely. The team does meet in London quarterly for away days, for which travel is paid for. Remote participation is possible to accommodate access needs.
Contract: This is a fixed term 1-year contract, with the possibility of extension subject to funding. You will have a probation period of 3 months.
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
As a strengths-based organisation, we value the unique perspectives, experiences and insights that each person brings to our team. We are a small, agile and highly flexible team committed to continual improvement.
