Responsibilities
As Schools Support Officer, you’ll play a vital role in supporting schools and ensuring the smooth running of our operations. Your key responsibilities will include:
Client Support
-
Act as the first point of contact for school enquiries across email, phone, voicemail and webchat.
-
Respond to queries, resolve user issues, and provide quotes for subscriptions and trials.
-
Triage communication to the relevant team member, where needed.
CRM & Data Management

Place of Work
This is a home-based role, open to candidates based in the UK. The successful candidate will work remotely as part of Ten Ten’s home-based team.
The role is full-time (35 hours per week), typically worked across Monday to Friday. However, we are open to applications on a job-share basis, where two individuals work together to fulfil the responsibilities of the role. While there is some flexibility in working hours, availability is expected during core daytime hours to ensure collaboration with colleagues and timely support for schools.
We meet weekly as a team on Zoom to share updates, collaborate on projects, and pray together. In addition, we gather in person at least three times per year - typically once per term - for planning, training and team-building. These in-person gatherings usually involve overnight stays and are held at various locations around the UK.
We welcome applicants from across the UK who can commit to regular online engagement and travel for termly in-person meetings.
Person Specification
At Ten Ten, we believe that the Schools Support Officer isn’t just another role - it’s a vital presence that helps knit together our mission across hundreds of schools. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a remote working environment - someone who takes pride in being highly organised, attentive to detail, and ready to solve problems before they arise. You enjoy connecting with others through digital channels, build rapport easily, and are committed to providing exceptional support to both colleagues and partner schools.
The kind of person we’re looking for:
Essentials – you are:
Warm, welcoming, and professional – You have a friendly and reassuring tone in all interactions. You make people feel heard and supported.
Highly organised and detail-oriented – You keep multiple plates spinning and ensure nothing gets dropped. You catch the typo, notice the missing email, and follow up before anyone else does.
A proactive problem-solver – You take initiative. You investigate, ask good questions, and make things happen. You know when to act independently and when to consult others.
Resourceful and adaptable – You navigate new systems and shifting priorities with ease. You find solutions, even when no manual exists.
Strong communicator – You write clearly and speak confidently. You know how to communicate with school staff, teachers, and your internal team with warmth and clarity.
Tech-comfortable and willing to learn – You’re already confident with basic digital tools and eager to learn new ones. You might not know HubSpot or our CMS yet, but you’re curious, capable, and ready to learn.
Able to prioritise effectively in a busy environment – You can spot what’s urgent versus what’s important, and you keep things moving forward while staying focused on the big picture.
Desirable – it’s a bonus if you:
-
Have experience supporting schools, education settings or customer service environments.
-
Are familiar with project management tools, content management platforms (CMS), or customer relationship management (CRM) systems.
-
Have experience supporting content updates, light marketing tasks, or school-facing comms.
-
Have worked in a small, fast-paced organisation where self-direction was essential.
We’re looking for someone who:
-
Is observant and engaged – spots the detail, the discrepancy, or the quiet ask behind the email.
-
Has a ‘get stuck in’ mentality – you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and help out wherever needed.
-
Is confident taking the lead when needed – actively shaping processes and offering support.
-
Values teamwork and collaboration, but can also work independently and manage their own time well.
-
Understands that while systems are important, people always come first—how they feel in their interaction with you matters.
Your cover letter should be a max 1.5 pages and include:
Why you are interested in the role.
How your experience and qualities align with the Person Specification.
Any preference or proposal regarding a job-share arrangement (if applicable).
We nurture spiritual growth, personal development and social responsibility by sharing inspiring, creative media content through a Catholic lens.

Do you want to make a difference to the lives of students and equip them to put their faith into action?
SCM is looking for a recent graduate to spend a year working with us to help us to continue to build on the work of our successful Faith in Action project.
Run in partnership with Project Bonhoeffer, a small charitable trust, the project began in 2012 with a vision that Christian students in Britain would have a greater awareness and understanding of Bonhoeffer’s radical approach to faith and discipleship, and its implications for Christian living in the modern world.
The project has helped to run over a dozen campaigns from Food Poverty to Peace, and had an immeasurable impact on thousands of students through blogs, resources, and relationships. All of this is bringing to light many ‘Bonhoeffers’ of today negotiating the implications on Christian living in the world.
In 2021 we developed the Faith in Action project as a graduate scheme by employing two graduates to work on the project; one to lead on theology bringing a depth of learning and theological refection, and the other to be a campaigns lead, taking us always back out into the world to make a difference.
The project has been very successful, and now we are looking to grow it for further. We are looking for a passionate graduate to join the project for the 2025-26 academic year.
In this role, you will be a theologian to make other theologians, and will provide the framework for students to be able to reflect theologically on their life and modern Christian Living. You will be responsible for growing the breadth of SCM’s Faith in Action resources, and discovering new ways of connecting with the current membership via the trends of social media or engaging in face-to-face reflections. An activist to make other activists, you will coordinate social action for SCM, engaging the membership in social justice projects that maximise our impact in society and the world. You will work to build relationships between SCM communities and members to equip students with the skills they need to become faith-filled agents of social and political change and lead them in theological reflection to discern their involvement in local and national campaigns. You will also work to develop relationships with other Christian social justice and campaigning organisations to create opportunities for students to put their faith into action. In all of this, you will be supported by our small but perfectly-formed team, who will share your values and fully understand your aims in this project.
The role will require some travel within Britain, as well as semi-regular visits to the office in Birmingham, which may also include an overnight stay. All reasonable expenses for travel and accommodation will be reimbursed. Some evening and weekend work may be required for which time off in lieu will be given.
We particularly welcome applications from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and LGBTQ+ individuals who are currently underrepresented in the organisation. Due to the nature of this role and the responsibilities of the successful post-holder, a genuine occupational requirement to be a committed Christian is in place for this role in accordance with the provisions of the Equality Act 2010.
Please use the forms provided; CVs will not be accepted. Applications should be submitted electronically in Word format by email to the address provided in the application pack.
Student Christian Movement is a registered charity in England and Wales, number 1125640, and in Scotland number SC048506
