Think Equal’s vision is a safe, free and equal world, and our mission is to achieve a global system change in education by introducing Social and Emotional Learning as a compulsory new Early Years subject on national curricula around the world. We ask: “How can it be deemed compulsory for a child to learn mathematics in an age in which we have calculators, and yet it is optional for a child to learn how to value another human being and lead healthy relationships?” 

Think Equal has created a free programme in three levels: level one for 3-4 year olds, level two for 4-5 year olds, and level three for 5-6 year olds. The programme is a concrete 30-week toolkit with three lesson plans per week, each 45 minutes long. For each level, the teachers receive a kit that includes 22 books, 90 lesson plans, and a booklet of resources. Teachers receive training on the programme in addition to the step by step lesson plans, which were created to be very clear and easy to implement. The curriculum mediates, at age appropriate levels, competencies such as empathy, emotional literacy, resilience, self-regulation, critical thinking, gender equality, peaceful conflict resolution, and self-esteem. 

Effectively, the programme builds, through the conduit of teachers, the pro-social neuropathways in the child’s developing brains. The resultant competencies, values and skills of inclusion, gender equality, empathy, kindness, compassion, emotional intelligence (and 20 other such critical outcomes) evidentially last through adulthood, as long as they are taught holistically, continuously, comprehensively and repetitively as in the Think Equal model.

The post holder will manage the development, implementation, monitoring and reporting of the Think Equal programmes around the world. You will be working with the CEO to implement and manage the programme in the different programme countires around the world.

To apply please send your CV and cover letter (no more than 2 A4 pages) by 2 November 2020. Please read the attached Job Description for the role. Please include your availabilty for interview and start date along with your expecation for salary.

Please note that we do not sponsor visa, you must have right to work in the UK for this post.

This is a part time, fixed term contract for one year, to deliver one academic cycle of the Linking Programme.  We expect the majority of delivery to take place online due to coronavirus restrictions, but it will be advantageous for candidates to have local knowledge of our key delivery areas of London and/or Birmingham. 

We believe in order to effectively serve our beneficiaries; our work must be influenced by a broad range of voices. Therefore, we actively encourage applications from people who are currently underrepresented in our staff team. This would include BAME candidates and those who identify as Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain. We celebrate difference and are committed to creating a working environment where everyone is included.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications from individuals without the right to work in the UK.

Our mission is simple, to get refugees cycling! We are a community of refugees, mechanics, staff and volunteers. We collect donations of second-hand bikes, fix them together at our workshop, and then donate them to asylum seeking refugees. A proportion of the bikes that we receive are sold through our online shop to generate funds, the proceeds of which support The Bike Project, and ensure our long-term sustainability.

There are approximately 13,500 asylum seekers that flee to London each year and almost 27,500 bikes are abandoned in the same period. Our mission is to match the two.

The Bike Project is going through a significant period of growth, turning over £1.5 million in 2020. We are expanding the delivery of bike donations, Pedal Power and Bike Buddies whilst developing our retail arm, The Bike Shop. We are looking for a highly motivated and efficient Inventory and Stock Coordinator, to ensure the smooth running  and implementation of our policies and procedures.
