At this exciting time in our evolution, we are looking for candidates to take up roles as part-time Programme Support Tutors. We have roles available in our Brighton, Coventry, Manchester North and Southampton West centre. You will work closely with our existing IntoUniversity team, acting as a tutor at after-school Academic Support sessions and supporting the team with programme preparation. 

Our ideal candidate has either paid or voluntary experience working with young people, is well-organised and efficient, a good team-player and is someone excited and enthusiastic at the prospect of helping young people reach their potential.  You will have achieved a minimum of a GCSE grade C (or equivalent) in Maths and English. You might be a retired teacher keen to use your skills to continue to support children or someone who wants rewarding work to fit in with the school holidays, but applications are welcome from anyone interested. No specialist subject knowledge is required for this role and training is provided.

As a charity with social mobility as its core objective, IntoUniversity is wholly committed to equality of opportunity. We work with children and young people from a diverse range of backgrounds, and we believe that our staff team should be similarly diverse and representative. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be, and we recognise that we have much more to do in this regard. We are committed to building a culture where students, staff and volunteers are valued for the unique people they are. We, therefore, encourage applications from candidates from as wide a range as possible of ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds. In particular, we actively and warmly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, male candidates and candidates with a disability as they are currently under-represented within IntoUniversity.

If you believe that all young people deserve the chance to achieve their potential regardless of their background and want to play a part in helping them succeed, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

We believe that everyone deserves to be supported in their mental health needs and that we have a part to play in that.

Our work is guided by our values of:

Openness  |  Belonging  |  Strength  |  Collaboration

Job Description

The Headline Programme Officer role offers the opportunity to build and manage relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. The Programme Officer will play a leading role in shaping and implementing the delivery of our new leadership programme Headline. You will have responsibility for the quality and consistency of the Headline leader’s experience whilst on the programme. The first prototype will be launching in October 2021, and is the first of its kind in the sector. The participant journey on the Headline programme includes a number of residential leadership modules, workshops, shadowing and extensive executive coaching.

There is a high autonomy culture within the team and organisation, so the role requires someone who is well organised, pro-active and can use their initiative to do what works. The team is small with ambitious targets, so the Officer will need to be flexible and think strategically, at times beyond their role, as the team often work collectively to get the best results. The Officer will need experience in project management and relationship management, implementing programmes and have a confident and inclusive communication style. The successful candidates will work across a varied range of activities so will need to adapt quickly to the demands of the programme and our participants.

Your application answers will be reviewed blind to ensure fairness. Your responses will be randomised and the shortlisting panel will not see any details about you, including your CV. Your CV will only be seen after shortlisting if you have been invited to an interview.

Job Description

The Programmes Director will lead the teams responsible for the effective design and delivery of all the charity’s programmes. Their primary responsibility is ensuring Frontline’s programmes are of excellent quality whilst being delivered in the most joined up and efficient way possible.

We need an ambitious and experienced leader to plan and oversee the delivery our programmes to ensure they have maximum, measurable impact. The successful candidate will work closely with the CEO and Chief Social Worker to manage programmes teams and ensure robust systems are in place which drive and support teams to work in a cohesive way. We need an influential leader, who brings their experience of successful planning and workflow design to our programmes and the wider charity, as a member of the senior leadership team.

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but lack ethnic minority representation at our most senior level. We know the value ethnic minority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We will keep applications open until we have satisfactory representation on the shortlist.
