About the Education and Employers charity

Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details here.

The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work.

Over 55,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 80% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee.  There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring.

Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns such as Inspiring Women and others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 4,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please click here.  All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 1.8 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place.

In partnership with the National Governance Association the charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement.

Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.

About the role 

Working to the Head of Membership and closely with the wider Senior Management Team and the Programmes Manager, our new Partnerships Manager will help us deliver key programmes of work through close engagement with our members and our partners and by effectively project managing agreed work plans.

The Partnerships Manager will lead on developing activities to meet the expectations of our funders and clients and will support the management of key external relationships.  The role will work across a diverse portfolio of projects reflecting the breadth of activities delivered for and by NAVCA’s members.

The role will support the Head of Membership to continuously develop and deliver excellent member services, and will work closely with members and colleagues to identify and meet particular areas of interest and need amongst our members.

Specifically, the role will be responsible for the effective delivery of our annual work plan for the Health & Wellbeing Alliance, and will play an essential role in our work as part of the VCS Emergencies Partnership.

This is an outcome focused, relationship based role with a strong element of effective project management and practical delivery.

Salary:  £34,000 with 8% employer’s contribution to pension

Contracted hours:  Full time

Holiday:  25 days holiday pa pro rata (1st April to 31st March), plus Bank Holidays and three days close-down between Christmas and New Year

This role will initially be a fixed term contract to 31st March 2021, with the potential to become a permanent role in the future.

An immediate start is essential.

About you

The ideal candidate will be an excellent communicator and relationship builder, able to mix the ability to engage effectively with a wide range of partners and members with a practical, outcome focused ability to manage and deliver complex programmes.  

You will have evidenced knowledge of project management techniques, and experience of working within a relationship-based environment to deliver specific work plans and gather intelligence.

You will be comfortable balancing the needs of a specified and time limited work plan with the organic emergence of new requirements and demands.  You’ll also be able to blend the ability to think and work across a range of subject areas with an attention to detail and a systematic approach to recording and managing information.

In common with the rest of the NAVCA team, you’ll be deeply collaborative in your approach, with a flexible, agile focus on delivering meaningful outcomes for our members, our partners, our funders and ultimately the communities we serve.

We actively practice a flexible and supportive working culture; you will be contractually home based so you will need to be comfortable working remotely and without close supervision.  We will support you to work effectively in the non-office based environment of your choice, whether that be at home or in a hot desking environment.  

You should be outcomes-focused, and seeking to make the most effective use of your time and energies for the benefit of our members and the communities they serve.

You’ll need to be within easy access of our small office hub in Sheffield – probably within an hour’s travel time - with the ability to travel across the country if required.

About us

We are the only national membership body in England that specifically and solely supports place-based local VCSE infrastructure organisations across the country.  We have around 180 members who between them offer (at last estimate) around 160,000 local charities and voluntary organisations the support they need to thrive.

As the hub of this network of locally focused organisations we are heavily member focused – without our members we are nothing, and we are passionate advocates of the crucial role our members play in the ecosystem of the VCSE sector.

We are a small, highly collaborative, outcome focused and dynamic team.  Our culture is one of mutual support, and we are committed to ‘excellence, everywhere.’  We work at pace, responding to the needs of our members and to the opportunities that arise to act on their behalf – and that can mean that sometimes things can feel complex and challenging.  Sometimes we get things wrong! And we aim to learn from what doesn’t go well, and we share our learning openly and authentically.

We have a small office hub in Sheffield, but everyone on the team is contractually home based and primarily works remotely.  We gather regularly (when not in the midst of a global pandemic) to meet face to face, and we use technology to ensure high levels of communication and collaboration throughout the working week.

We are not currently a racially diverse organisation, but we are committed to making the necessary changes to ensure that Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic candidates and potential colleagues will feel welcomed and supported to succeed and thrive in our organisation. 

We are committed to the ‘Open to All’ campaign and do not currently require any specific qualifications for any of our roles.  We are currently reviewing all our policies through an actively anti-racist lens, and we have for the past eighteen months practised blind recruitment supported by active diversity monitoring.

How to apply

Please follow the application instructions carefully to support our blind recruitment process:

To apply for this role, we would like you to send us your CV and a short covering letter – no more than two sides of A4. 

You should remove any references to your name, email address, home address, date of birth or dates of education, but please ensure both documents are headed with  your phone number – this will be your unique identifier throughout the process (and means that we can contact you!)

Your covering letter should evidence, with examples, how you meet the core competencies described in the role profile.

You should also confirm your immediate availability for the role and your location (town or city).

When you apply you will be asked to complete an anonymised diversity monitoring survey.  We would appreciate your support in enabling us to track the diversity of our applicants as part of our commitment to improving the diversity of our organisation.

Can you promote best practices in business development, supporting colleagues and challenging ways of working to ensure the highest quality and levels of efficiency. You will provide leadership to the organisation as we seek to grow and expand our long-standing relationship with key institutional donors.

This role is fixed-term until July 2021 and due to COVID-19 it is currently home based. Once the office reopens the main base for the role will be our Brighton office with flexibility for working from home.

The role will include:

• Leading a project team to build strong and effective relationships with key institutional/government donors including the UK government to secure and grow Frontline AIDS income.

• Leading intelligence gathering about key institutional/government donors, and new funding opportunities.

About us

We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.

Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.

Everything we do is rooted in our two key beliefs:

• That the lives of all human beings are of equal value.
• That everyone has the right to access the HIV information and services they need for a healthy life.

Today, we work with communities in more than 40 countries, taking local, national and global action on HIV, health and human rights.

As a global partnership that is open to everyone, we can only do what we do – and achieve what we want to achieve – by working with partners from grassroots community groups to national governments. Our partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.

Are you the Frontliner we’re looking for?

You are a committed team member with a clear focus on team objectives, as well as your own. You will promote best practice within your field of expertise and challenge ways of working to ensure the highest quality and levels of efficiency. Your actions will be aligned with Frontline AIDS vision and you will inspire the same behaviour in your peers. You are comfortable working in a matrix management environment.

Lead our work helping education organisations to evaluate their impact, learn from it, and prioritise what is working best to improve outcomes for children and young people

The organisation

ImpactEd is an award-winning social enterprise that exists to help evaluate, understand and improve impact in education.

In our education system, we invest huge amounts of time, money and energy in different programmes and interventions to improve outcomes for pupils. Yet far too often, we don’t know what is working – and what isn’t. We exist to address this evaluation deficit, helping schools and those working with them to better understand what is working to make a difference to the lives of young people. We do this through a combination of hands-on partnership, training and consultancy, and our digital platform which makes monitoring and evaluation quicker, easier and more effective.

Since being founded in 2017, we have grown rapidly. In 2018, we won the Teach First Innovation Award; in 2019, our work was profiled by the Department for Education and we were finalists in the Education Resources Awards. As of 2020, we reach over 60,000 young people and have launched a new partnership with Big Change to support our vision to achieve system-wide change. We are a small, dedicated and growing team committed to maximising social impact: a mix of former teachers, academic researchers and software developers, our work is overseen by a Board with significant experience of social entrepreneurship, third sector leadership and educational improvement.

The opportunity

We work with both schools and other education organisations such as charities and universities (our ‘impact partners’). This role is a newly created leadership position to drive our work supporting impact partners such as CoachBright, Jamie's Farm and SOAS to assess and improve their effectiveness. The Head of Impact Partnerships will define, deliver and refine the strategy for these collaborations: managing partnerships first-hand, leading sales and business development, and ultimately ensuring that this work contributes to directly improving the life chances of young people. 

The role involves a mix of hands-on partnership management and leadership responsibilities. For example, you might work on projects such as supporting Oak National Academy to develop their evaluation strategy while delivering over 13 million online lessons during lockdown, or helping Yes Futures to assess the impact of their new approach to supporting young people’s personal development and wellbeing. At the same time, you will have overall strategic responsibility for this area of work, and contribute to organisational direction as part of our leadership team. You will lead business development and, as our partnerships continue to grow, we would be looking for you to build and train a team.

We are looking for a broad skillset to support this ambitious brief. We are open to a range of backgrounds, but real advantages would be: experience and insight into research and evaluation, especially within the UK school system; partnership management expertise; familiarity with leading people and strategy; and an entrepreneurial streak including business development experience. You would be joining a dynamic social enterprise with opportunities for significant development and progression in line with organisational growth.   

We welcome both full-time and part-time candidates: we expect that a minimum commitment of around four days per week is likely, but are happy to discuss how we might fit your working pattern. We are keen to encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates, whether by gender, ethnic group, sexual orientation or other characteristics.
