We are looking for a CEO for our ambitious maths charity. Will you help us make life easier for teachers and more interesting for students?
About the charity
Dr Frost Learning is an education charity that believes there should be no barriers to a student’s desire to learn. Our product, Dr Frost Maths, allows students to learn maths online whether independently or via their school. We also provide learning materials and resources to support teachers, so children can maximise their potential in mathematics in and out of the classroom.
Tens of thousands of teachers, and hundreds of thousands of students use our product every month. Over 1000 schools subscribe to our paid product which is subsidised by our generous funders and donors. As we enter our fourth year as a charity we have some key priorities:
- Continue to migrate from a reliance on philanthropic funding to a subscription model
- Deepen our offerings in maths to support more teachers and more students
- Increase our focus on schools which have either high levels of social deprivation or teachers who are not STEM trained
We need a leader who is going to help us deliver on those and work with us to decide what the future strategy should be. We are positive about our future, keen to use the latest technologies to improve our offerings, and ambitious to meet the requirements of students and teachers in new and exciting ways.

Surviving a stroke is just the start of a long and difficult recovery journey. Stroke Association is there to support stroke survivors and help their families find the strength they need to find their way back to living a fulfilling life.
A stroke can happen to anyone, of any age, at any time and one in four strokes happen in people of working age.
“I’m Leighton and when I was 39 years young I had a stroke. There’s a sentence I never, ever thought I would write. But that’s the thing with stroke, it doesn’t care how fit and healthy I was. It doesn’t care that I’m a dad with a 10-year-old son. A son that needs me.”
We are looking for a passionate, enthusiastic and motivated individual to join the team raising vital funds to provide this invaluable lifelong support for all stroke survivors, just like Leighton.
The Role
This is an exciting new role in a newly created team, formed to acquire strategic corporate partnerships and community connections. As Partnerships Officer for the North of England your main responsibilities will include:
- Developing a robust pipeline of future support focussing on high value relationships.
- Delivering engagement strategies and products to enhance the conversion rate of your pipeline.
- Developing and delivering a relationship stewardship plan for all corporate partners.
- Delivering an individual income target.
- Tracking and monitoring income and pipeline values to support with forecasting and budgeting.
The Person
We are looking for a confident and enthusiastic person with excellent communication and relationship building skills. You should be excited by the prospect of building a new pipeline and portfolio of corporate partners and be confident stewarding relationships in this space.
You must be able to work flexibly to maximise opportunities across the North of England, and have the initiative and ability to work with autonomy. Previous experience in fundraising is desirable; however, we are also keen to speak with people who also have the knowledge and experience in building relationships and are keen to transfer this skillset into the rewarding world of fundraising!
Why Stroke Association?
The Fundraising team at Stroke Association pride themselves on fostering an open, honest, flexible and supportive working environment. The culture is such that everyone feels valued and recognised and despite being a disparate team, there are strong bonds formed across the charity. Not only does this charity transform the lives of stroke survivors and their families, but it also offers a wonderful environment to work in where people add value and have a positive impact every single day!
The charity’s benefits also include elements such as volunteering days, long service awards, incremental annual leave increase with service, a generous pension contribution and enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
If this sounds like the opportunity for the next phase of your career, then get in touch! The role is on a 12-month contract and full-time (but flexible working will be considered). You must either have a driving licence and access to your own vehicle, or be able to demonstrate that you can meet the travel requirements of the role which include travelling extensively across the region/country.
