Why join Future First?
We are a mission-driven, innovative social mobility charity that believes a young person’s start in life shouldn’t limit their future. Our central team is friendly and motivated, and we have a strong network of experienced freelancers, who support across all functions. Our team comes from a variety of backgrounds including partnership development, delivery,
teaching, programmes and communications. We value all contributions and offer the possibility to expand and grow the role based on interests.
Ways of working
We work remotely, with opportunities to come together in person to work, plan and develop. In this role you will also have to travel to your member schools to deliver workshops.
The work is varied and often fast-paced, requiring rapid processing of information, and the ability to act confidently with multiple and senior stakeholders including employers, volunteers and school leaders.
As with any small, constantly evolving organisation, each individual balances multiple responsibilities, while shaping their role around their skills and interests.
Salary and Holiday
This is a permanent position. The salary is £26,000. Future First staff receive pro rata 28 days of leave (in addition to 8 UK public holidays) increasing one day per year of service up to 33.
