PROGRAMME COORDINATOR

Without GCSE English and maths, young people are more likely to drop out of education and are locked out of many university courses, apprenticeships and key professions. This is a huge challenge for social mobility in our country.

We want to change this story. Get Further is the first charity dedicated to providing free, innovative catch-up tuition to young people who missed out on gateway English and maths GCSEs at school. Our tuition is delivered by subject specialist graduates, who are trained by expert English and maths teachers. Students who complete the programme join our alumni network, where they are signposted to opportunities and receive support with the transition into higher study and work.

We know that having a tutor can help to close gaps in education – but too often, this is out of reach for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds studying in further education. With the disruption to education from COVID-19, now, more than ever, many students are in need of extra help to address the learning they have lost. We are expanding our programmes, so that we can support more students to get back on track in education and have greater opportunities for progression in their chosen career.

To help more students get further, we are seeking driven and passionate Programme Coordinators, who will be responsible for the delivery of our tuition programmes across a cluster of college and tutor relationships.

Location: The role is a mix of home-based working and some travel to Get Further’s partner colleges and our office in London (once the lockdown ends). We particularly welcome applications in one or more of the following regions: London/Yorkshire/North West/South East.

Hours: Full-time

Duration: 12 months, with possibility of extension

Salary: £18,600 per annum (plus London weighting allowance of £3,000 per annum, if applicable)

This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about improving social mobility and tackling educational inequality. It will be of particular interest to someone wanting to gain knowledge and experience of the education and charity sectors.

What the job involves

The Policy, Knowledge and Health Information teams are responsible for using clinical data and medical research evidence to shape what the organisation thinks, to develop solutions that drive change for men with and at risk of prostate cancer and to make sure these men – and their families - have access to robust, impartial information that supports them throughout their prostate cancer journey. They use this evidence base to help shape the organisation’s strategic direction and to measure the impact of its activities.

The Policy, Knowledge and Health Information Co-ordinator plays a critical role in supporting these teams to deliver. You will have a varied and far-reaching portfolio of work, sometimes organising high-level stakeholder events and meetings, ensuring we regularly engage with people with experience of prostate cancer, capturing the outcomes of our external engagement and promoting our work via social media.

You are also critical to making sure we meet demand for our health information, lead processes for reprinting our publications and ensure we respond efficiently and effectively to enquiries from men and their families. You support us to monitor and assess our progress against our organisational strategy, while also monitoring and reporting on trends in health information uptake. You manage budget processes and ensure we have effective budget monitoring mechanisms in place.

What we want from you

You have high-level organisation skills, are used to being in demand and know how to flex and effectively prioritise your time. You can seamlessly organise others and have experience of creating and updating forward planners, streamlining team processes, project schedules, meetings and events - providing a strong record of their outcomes and ensuring effective follow up. You regularly take the initiative to drive improvements so that the teams you support can operate efficiently.

You have the skills to collect and use data to monitor, trend and report on activity and are proactive at acting on the results. Your quick to learn and adept at picking up new systems including those for budget management and products’ fulfilment. You understand how to transform written content in fully designed materials.

As well as excellent written communication skills, you are an effective communicator and can comfortably engage with senior managers and a breadth of external senior level stakeholders. Most importantly, you know how to work collaboratively with others and are passionate about ensuring no man lives a life limited by prostate cancer.

Why work for us?

We’re here to stop prostate cancer killing men and damaging bodies and lives. We unite the brightest minds in science and healthcare and the most passionate and caring people to help men live long and live well. As the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer continues to rise, we continue to make advances in research to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment and support so that we can build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for men.

What we offer

Join our team and you’ll be working at an award-winning charity that will support you to develop your skills and expertise. We’re particularly proud of our agile working arrangements which allow (as appropriate to the role) for flexibility around where and when we carry out our work to ensure we can achieve the best results for the charity, at the same time as balancing our working lives with life’s other commitments!

We also offer a competitive benefits package including generous leave entitlements, season ticket loans, a cycle to work scheme, an enhanced contributory pension scheme, life insurance and group income protection as well as free advice and support on pretty much anything via our Employee Assistance Programme.

Our commitment

We draw upon the difference in who we are, what we’ve experienced and how we think to build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer. Not only is it the right thing to do, it makes our charity stronger and helps us reach more people. If you share our ambition we would love to hear from you.
