This is a key role with the Social Research Association (SRA), a friendly educational charity and membership body.

Providing training is a vital part of our purpose, helping researchers gain the skills and knowledge they need. We run around 150 training courses a year with our stable of expert trainers.

We are a growing organisation, small but ambitious, with a staff team of six providing membership and training (our two main income-generating services) to the UK social research community. Events, publications and guidance are devised by volunteer groups and staff, and a board of trustees ensures governance and oversight. There are currently over 1500 individual SRA members from across the profession, in government, universities, research agencies, charities, and consultancies.
Our ambitions are to support the sector to deliver the best research possible by sharing practical expertise, experience, resources and a community in which members of the social research sector can engage with one another. As a driving force in the social research sector, we want to create positive impact however we can. Recently, this has extended to commissioning and sharing insight about diversity and inclusion among researchers, and continuing that work to support greater inclusion amongst research organisations and in how research is conducted.

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 address this evaluation deficit, helping organisations and schools 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 in 2020, we published the largest pupil-facing piece of research into the impact of lockdown, winning the Fair Education Alliance Scaling Award in the same year. Since then, we have expanded to reach over 1000 schools, 80 education organisations and more than 250,000 young people annually. We are a skilled team of over 30 people, supported by a Board with a track record of social impact and educational development.
This year we have expanded to create the ImpactEd Group, which supports purpose driven organisations to make better decisions using high quality evidence. Our strategy is currently being updated to this effect. As a social enterprise moving towards employee ownership, our commitment across all parts of the Group is to empower our partners to make better decisions on behalf of their beneficiaries and empower our team to make decisions on behalf of the organisation.
The Opportunity
We work with both schools and education organisations such as charities, universities and education technology companies (our ‘impact partners’). Our work with impact partners focuses on helping these organisations to develop their impact evaluation methods and deliver evaluations. We divide this work into four different strands: evaluation design, capacity building workshops, use of our School Impact Platform and external evaluations. This role revolves around the implementation of the School Impact Platform in particular and focuses on some large-scale projects commencing shortly.
We are looking for a candidate who can lead on school onboarding and engagement. This means they have to have knowledge of the school context and how schools work internally as well as be comfortable communicating with different stakeholders in schools. In particular, you would be supporting schools as they are being onboarded onto the platform (meaning setting up their accounts and data collection tools) and follow up with them regularly to ensure good quality data collection is happening. You would work closely with our Impact Partnerships Officer, who will lead on the project, and our platform lead, who will provide support from a technical and product development side. You would need to be strong in written communication and enjoy engaging with schools and answering their queries.
About You
We are looking for some of the following attributes, though you might be more experienced in some areas than others:
-
Understanding of the UK education system including understanding of school data, roles and terminology
-
Experience of working within an administrative and/or customer service role.
-
High IT literacy (ability to learn how to use new systems quickly)
-
Track record of effective process and project management.
Why Us?
As an organisation we care deeply about creating a meaningful place to work and supporting people to grow personally and professionally. These are reflected in our organisational values and our associated commitments to:
-
Agile and flexible working: responsive management, flexible hours, hybrid or fully remote working
-
Personal excellence: we invest significantly in professional development, including an external mentor for every staff member, an individual CPD budget, and formal and informal training and support
-
Mental health and wellbeing: access to health and wellbeing advice and free therapist support
Diversity and inclusion at ImpactEd Group
As a growing organisation we are committed to:
-
Becoming increasingly representative of the sector and geographies that we operate in
-
Providing a positive experience of work as part of an inclusive culture led by our organisational values
-
Maintaining an annual EDI action plan - led by the internal team and supported by a Board sponsor
What to expect from the recruitment process:
-
All applications are anonymised until the point of interview
-
We use a recruitment system, Applied, which debiases the recruitment process
-
We implement a standardised interview template and competencies matrix.
To Apply
To apply, you will be asked to submit your CV and answer 3 work-based scenario questions and 1 motivation question.
Applications close at 10pm on Tuesday 5th December 2023. Interviews will take place on 12th and 13th December.

About YCDT
Established as a charity (no 1150197) in 2012, the Young Carers Development Trust our aim is to improve the life chances of young carers by giving them targeted and sustained mentoring support to raise and achieve their educational, personal and career aspirations.
To date, YCDT’s approach has been to work with local young carers’ services to identify young carers with real potential who are unlikely to succeed without targeted support. From 2024 we are launching our brand-new Lottery Community 2-year funded project across South West England so as such, we are seeking the right individual to take the trust forward to our next stage of growth.
This project will extend our work into schools who will be one of the main referral sources for the new mentoring project. Currently, we provide support for up to five years to each young carer but this new project will provide a shorter one-year programme, thus enabling more young carers to access support.
About this role
We are recruiting a Lead Mentoring Project Officer to launch and manage our high-quality 1-year Mentoring Programme that supports young carers aged 14-16 to achieve goals tailored to their needs. Each cohort will be delivered through a combination of 1:1 mentoring and monthly groups with a maximum of 8 mentees and 2 mentors. The programme aims to help the mentees improve their educational attainment, identify routes into further and/or higher education and apprenticeships, increase independence skills, build confidence, access appropriate services, reduce isolation and build resilience. You will work in partnership with the Mentoring Project Officer and under the supervision and guidance of YCDT’s Service Manager.
We are looking for an outstanding candidate who is passionate about supporting young carers to reach their full potential. We do not expect you to have direct experience of mentoring or working with young carers but we do expect you to have empathy, good listening skills and a strong knowledge of the needs and common challenges of young people aged 14-16 with a passion to make a real difference in their lives.
You will be responsible for building and maintaining strong partnerships with community organisations and to generate and maintain steady referrals to the programme. You will be required to assess young carers’ needs and in conjunction with the second Mentoring Project Officer, deliver one-to-one and group support to the mentees, carefully monitoring their progress. Further to this, you will be responsible for responding to safeguarding concerns and maintaining strong professional boundaries.
You will be required to evaluate the progress of individuals, keeping databases up to date and maintain accurate reporting. Due to the nature of the pilot programme, flexibility will be key to success.
You will be one of five members of staff working alongside a team of dedicated volunteers. Being part of a small team, you will get the opportunity to contribute ideas and help shape YCDT as we grow and are supporting more young carers than ever before.
We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those with a lived experience of having caring responsibilities. If you think you have the skills and experience to be one of our new Mentoring Projects Officers, we would love to hear from you.

Uplift is an organisation that uses research, campaigning, and advocacy to support a just transition away from fossil fuels in the UK on a timeline that is commensurate with a safe climate. We are currently looking for a Legal Campaigns Lead to help coordinate creative legal advocacy, litigation and public facing campaigns that are driven forward by Uplift and its partners. This is an exciting opportunity to support the movement to phase out fossil fuel extraction.
The Role
As Legal Campaigns Lead, you will coordinate Uplift’s legal campaigns to ensure that our legal advocacy has maximum political and corporate impact during a critical moment in the energy transition. This includes strategic litigation targeting fossil fuel companies and public policy, as well as advocacy focused on reforming key legal frameworks governing oil and gas extraction in the UK. Uplift envisages this litigation to be strongly supported by a communications and campaign strategy, including mobilising public support for the aims of the litigation, high-profile media coverage, and collaboration with campaign partners to increase public and media engagement with litigation. Uplift previously coordinated the Paid to Pollute litigation, which provides an example of the kind of legal campaigning that this role would support.
Reporting to Uplift’s Legal and Policy Adviser, you will work closely with Uplift’s legal and campaigns teams to determine the right partners, campaign tools and tactics for each of Uplift’s legal campaigns, and you will be responsible for ensuring that these campaigns are effectively coordinated and executed. You will work with a range of external partners, including campaigning organisations, grassroots activists, and vendors and consultants who can help us deliver on campaign objectives. You will not be required to provide any input to the litigation itself, which will be managed by Uplift’s in-house lawyers and external legal teams.
The successful candidate will have exceptional project management skills, including for complex projects, and an ability to align and motivate partners to deliver on ambitious timelines and outcomes. Legal experience is not necessary, although a keen interest in climate and/or human rights-related legal advocacy is desirable, and any previous experience with litigation-related campaigning is a significant advantage. A strong commitment to Uplift's mission and core values is also required.
Core responsibilities will include:
- Support the development of the overall strategy for Uplift’s legal campaigns, including objectives, tactics, partnerships and milestones.
- Oversee the coordination of legal campaigns, which will include:
- Helping to identify and build relationships with key partners
-
Developing shared work plans with partners and overseeing the implementation of work plans, including by facilitating meetings and implementing joint project management tools where appropriate.
-
Coordinating with outside vendors and consultants.
-
Tracking the implementation of campaign tactics and keeping partners motivated and aligned around milestones in the campaign strategy, including the ability to sequence outputs appropriately and anticipate and bridge any gaps.
-
Tracking financial management of campaigns to ensure they stay within budget.
-
Managing multiple campaign work plans simultaneously.
Our ideal candidate will have:
- Experience in a similar or related role.
- A track record of managing and delivering successfully on complex, multi-partner projects, particularly ambitious communications-heavy campaigns.
- A strong understanding of effective campaigning, including the inter-play between different campaign tactics.
- Excellent interpersonal communication skills, including an ability to quickly build trust with partners address and resolve conflicts
- A high degree of motivation and initiative, and an ability to work relatively autonomously when needed.
- Exceptionally high standards, and associated qualities needed to work in a dynamic organisation with an ambitious agenda.
- A strong commitment to Uplift’s mission and core values of equity and climate justice.
- Experience working to support climate or human rights-related legal advocacy is highly desirable, but not essential.
Benefits: 3% employer pension contribution, Employee Assistance Programme, consideration of flexible working requirements and work/workplace adjustments where required
Starting date: ASAP
Closing date: 11pm Monday 18th December
Proposed Interviews: w/c Monday 8th January 2024
Please submit a CV (2 pages) and cover letter (2 pages). Please note that we can only accept applications with both a CV and a cover letter. Please use the cover letter to say why you want to work for Uplift and how you could use your experience to meet the responsibilities of the role. Should you have any specific questions you wish to discuss about your application then send us an email (see website).
Uplift values diversity and welcomes applications from candidates from minority backgrounds. Therefore we also encourage candidates to complete the equality and diversity monitoring form and send along with your CV and covering letter. This is needed to collect monitoring data to ensure we are doing all we can

Currently, we provide support for up to five years to each young carer but this new project will provide a shorter one-year programme, thus enabling more young carers to access support.
About this role
We are recruiting a Lead Mentoring Project Officer to launch and manage our high-quality 1-year Mentoring Programme that supports young carers aged 14-16 to achieve goals tailored to their needs. Each cohort will be delivered through a combination of 1:1 mentoring and monthly groups with a maximum of 8 mentees and 2 mentors. The programme aims to help the mentees improve their educational attainment, identify routes into further and/or higher education and apprenticeships, increase independence skills, build confidence, access appropriate services, reduce isolation and build resilience. You will work in partnership with the Mentoring Project Officer and under the supervision and guidance of YCDT’s Service Manager.
We are looking for an outstanding candidate who is passionate about supporting young carers to reach their full potential. We do not expect you to have direct experience of mentoring or working with young carers but we do expect you to have empathy, good listening skills and a strong knowledge of the needs and common challenges of young people aged 14-16 with a passion to make a real difference in their lives.
You will be responsible for building and maintaining strong partnerships with community organisations and to generate and maintain steady referrals to the programme. You will be required to assess young carers’ needs and in conjunction with the second Mentoring Project Officer, deliver one-to-one and group support to the mentees, carefully monitoring their progress. Further to this, you will be responsible for responding to safeguarding concerns and maintaining strong professional boundaries.
You will be required to evaluate the progress of individuals, keeping databases up to date and maintain accurate reporting. Due to the nature of the pilot programme, flexibility will be key to success.
You will be one of five members of staff working alongside a team of dedicated volunteers. Being part of a small team, you will get the opportunity to contribute ideas and help shape YCDT as we grow and are supporting more young carers than ever before.
We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those with a lived experience of having caring responsibilities. If you think you have the skills and experience to be one of our new Mentoring Projects Officers, we would love to hear from you.
The job description as described will be reviewed on a regular basis to respond to any changing needs of the post.
