Location: Home-based, with monthly team meetings in London, access to workspace at King's College London, occasional travel for meetings, events and visits to University Maths Schools.

Salary: £44,000–£47,000

Hours: Full time

Contract: Permanent

Help young people with an affinity for mathematics discover where it can take them.

We're looking for a Careers + Employer Partnerships Manager to help University Maths Schools prepare young people with an affinity for mathematics for ambitious futures.

This is an opportunity to join a small, ambitious charity at an exciting stage of its development. You'll do this by building employer partnerships, developing national careers intelligence and creating a national centre of expertise that every University Maths School can draw upon.

If you enjoy connecting people, spotting opportunities and helping young people make informed choices about their futures, we'd love to hear from you.

Why U-Maths?

U-Maths is the national charity for University Maths Schools.

Our vision is that every young person with an affinity for mathematics can thrive and succeed.

Our mission is to advance excellence and equity in mathematics education by strengthening and growing the national network of University Maths Schools.

There are currently nine state-funded University Maths Schools, each established in partnership with a leading university and specialising in mathematics and the mathematical sciences for students aged 16–19. The network continues to grow, with two further schools in Nottingham and Durham due to open.

Together, these schools are helping more young people – particularly those from backgrounds currently under-represented in the mathematical sciences – to access an outstanding mathematics education and progress to ambitious futures.

Why this role?

No single school can maintain deep expertise across the rapidly changing landscape of mathematical STEM careers.

That's why U-Maths works nationally.

As our Careers + Employer Partnerships Manager, you'll build the employer relationships, careers intelligence and national expertise that help every University Maths School give students outstanding information, advice and guidance about mathematical STEM pathways.

About the role

You'll lead U-Maths' work to strengthen careers education and employer engagement across the network.

Working closely with schools, employers, universities and alumni, you'll build partnerships, develop careers insight, support careers and UCAS leads, create high-quality resources and lead national careers opportunities that individual schools would find difficult to create alone.

You'll help schools understand the skills, qualifications and experiences valued by mathematical employers, ensuring that careers advice, university guidance, research projects and enrichment activities are informed by current sector insight.

What you'll be doing

You'll:

• build long-term relationships with employers, universities, alumni and sector partners;
• develop and share national intelligence about mathematical STEM pathways and employer needs;
• support careers, UCAS and project leads across the University Maths School network;
• create careers and pathways resources for schools and outreach programmes;
• lead U-Maths' annual North and South student careers conferences and other national careers activities;
• provide additional support where individual students need something beyond existing school provision.

About you

You'll enjoy this role if you like building relationships, understanding emerging opportunities and helping other people make informed decisions.

You might have developed your skills in careers education, employer engagement, widening participation, partnerships, outreach, higher education, the charity sector or another setting where helping young people understand and access opportunity matters. We're more interested in the relationships you build, the insight you bring and the opportunities you create than in where you have gained them.

We're looking for someone who:

• enjoys bringing people and organisations together;
• communicates complex information clearly and practically;
• works independently while building trusted relationships across a network;
• is curious about how mathematical STEM careers are changing and keen to keep learning.

Why join us?

You'll be joining a small national team with the opportunity to build something that benefits schools across the UK and helps more young people with an affinity for mathematics thrive and succeed.

We offer:

• 30 days' annual leave plus bank holidays 
• 11% employer pension contribution 
• Flexible home-based working with monthly team meetings in London
• Workspace available at King's College London 
• A collaborative, ambitious and supportive team

We're aiming for the successful candidate to start on 1 December 2026, with some flexibility.

WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty, giving children the opportunity to engage at school and break the cycle of poverty. 

In our nearly eight years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has seen us deliver over 17,000 bed bundles to children to date!! 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking to recruit a Family Engagement Officer to join our dedicated team. As a Family Engagement Officer, you will be at the very heart of our frontline service. You will be responsible for receiving and processing incoming referrals, conducting home visits, working closely with local schools, and supporting other local volunteers just like yourselves.

As our ideal candidate you will need to be within commuting distance of our warehouse in Leeds and cover the wider Yorkshire region. Because of this, you must have a full driving license and access to your own vehicle, and be fully willing to travel across the Yorkshire area as our services develop. 

You will be someone who has good experience of the broad range of day-to-day case management, working with external partners, volunteer support, and administrative activities that working in a dynamic charity brings, and someone who enjoys the busyness and variety of this.

Alongside your family support and engagement-related skills and experience, we’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for our mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of our team.

Ideally, you’ll have experience of working with vulnerable families and managing volunteers in the charity sector, due to some of the specialties that come with this, such as safeguarding and partnership working. But charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Starting at £26,000 with progression up to £30,000 p/a (FTE)

• 28 Days, plus Bank Holidays.

• Healthcare Cash Plan

• Quarterly Staff Recognition Award

• A great working environment! One of our colleagues described us as- “Zarach is a wonderful place to work with the mission at the core of all that we do” 

To decide if you’d like to bring your skills and experience to bear in the pursuit of our mission, please have a look at the job description, our website and the coverage of us across social media. 

Please note that we may close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. Therefore, we encourage you to submit your CV and cover letter as soon as possible.

• A desire to develop your skills as a well-rounded member of a social impact organisation 

Why Join Us? 

This is a high-impact role with real scope to shape how Young Citizens grows, engages and retains its national network of schools, and how we deliver programmes that reach thousands of young people. You will work closely with senior leadership, take ownership of a key organisational function, lead and develop a team of Programme Leaders, and directly contribute to scaling our impact over the coming years. 

You will join a purpose-led, ambitious and collaborative team committed to strengthening democracy by equipping young people with the skills, knowledge and confidence to participate actively in society. 

We are a growing, agile organisation with a strong focus on learning and development. We invest in our people and provide real opportunities to build expertise, take ownership and grow alongside the organisation as we scale over the next three years. 

We combine a results-driven culture with flexibility in how we work. Our benefits include 28+ days of annual leave (plus 8 bank holidays), volunteering days, office closure over the Christmas period, full pension contributions on the first 8%, and enhanced leave packages. 

As a relatively small yet national team, you will have the opportunity to work across the organisation and closely with senior leadership, influencing how we improve our programmes, and see the direct impact of your work on our mission.
