About the Organisation

United World Schools is dedicated to improving the educational opportunities of poor and marginalised children around the world. By providing children with a basic education, we are striking at the heart of long term poverty and deprivation – a long game but one we are tackling head on and with ambition and commitment. UWS provides a flexible education model that is simple yet effective in remote regions. The model follows the national curriculum, whilst supporting teachers to implement educational programmes that are appropriate for the contexts in which they are working.

We are a  growing team of 16 staff based in London and we have a much bigger team delivering our programmes in Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal. All of our staff are incredibly passionate about what they do, and committed to going above and beyond for the cause. In London, where this role would be based, we have a fun and dynamic office environment featuring team socials, music, Bake Off sweepstakes and the occasional team karaoke night! The  Programmes Senior Associate would also be required to fly out and support some of our projects, and see first-hand what it means to provide education in remote and marginalised communities. 

Role Summary

You will also work closely with the Fundraising and Communication teams to enhance our reporting capacity and ensure that the evidence of impact that we gather, (through our monitoring, as well as case studies, focus groups, stories and films) is being conveyed in a compelling and accessible way. Through this, you will play a vital role in supporting a wide range of our stakeholders including major institutional funders, trusts and foundations, as well as our exciting partnerships with corporates and schools across the globe.

Responsibilities (including, but not limited to):

• Lead responsibility for the quality of UWS monitoring and information management and the systems and procedures used for this.  Identify and adopt models of best practice and relevant external research, to ensure that UWS’ data management and analysis is as efficient and effective as possible.

• Responsibility for developing and maintaining a fit-for-purpose, high quality central database for all UWS operations. 

• Ensure that UWS’ planning is evidence-driven and that relevant information is accessible for all teams.

• Monitor and maintain the quality and accessibility of information and data across the organisation, as required – for example UWS’s google drive documents.

• Responsibility for all UWS information/data reports and dashboards as required for the changing and growing needs of UWS and its stakeholders.

• Support the SMT and Communication Directors (in-country) to ensure the efficient and sufficient flow of information between the different teams and countries within UWS.

• Support all areas of work of the UK Programmes team, as required.

Knowledge and core competencies

• Educated to degree level, ideally with previous experience in a similar position

• Strong relationship building skills with proven ability to liaise with a diverse range of stakeholders, including communicating remotely with teams in the field

• Ability to think and work strategically - identifying the right opportunities for impact and leading their delivery with confidence

• Strong project management skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and prioritise work and juggle multiple things at once

• A high level of numeracy and confident analysing data and managing dashboards (or a willingness to learn!)

• Ability to research, set up and train others in new systems and procedures for monitoring and managing  information

• Strong skills in analysing and evaluating information, and a broad understanding of the issues around impact evaluation in development education

• Ability to produce high quality reports, proposals, presentations and other communications to a range of current and potential stakeholders

About us:

QuarterFive was launched in 2013 to provide exceptional, proactive recruitment consultancy to fundraisers and not-for-profit organisations. Seven years on, we’ve built a successful, close-knit team of twelve and a solid reputation for a high quality service that delivers excellent results. Our uniquely flexible and positive culture has been key to our success; we’ve strived to make this a great place to work, with collaboration, supportive leadership and highly motivating commission and benefits at the centre of our practice. Pointless KPIs, fixed hours, cold calls and tight-fisted bonuses aren’t our cup of tea.

We recruit fundraisers from Assistant to Director-level, for organisations ranging from startups to household name organisations including Action Against Hunger, Alzheimer’s Society, Marie Curie, Centrepoint, Concern Worldwide, Crisis, International Crisis Group, Mind, Plan UK, Shelter, Teach First, Terrence Higgins Trust, The Prince’s Trust and War Child. Our business comes from recommendations, an extensive client base, a Business Development team of three, and consultants intelligently developing relationships. 

Thanks to an excellent team, personalised training, exceptional data and systems, and making consistent placements, we doubled headcount in 2019 and are looking to grow again.

The role:

We’re looking for an experienced, high-performing consultant to join our well-established corporate fundraising team of two, recruiting to corporate fundraising roles up to director-level. This is one of our busiest and best-established areas of work, and you’ll work a mix of exclusive and quality contingent vacancies, spending up to 80% of your time filling these roles, 15% on BD, and 5% on training/development. 

We're flexible on what industry you've built your recruitment skills in, as long as you meet the criteria below. 

Essential skills & experience

• Consistent year-on-year billings 

• Exceptional, thoughtful use of data

• Planning and executing thorough, meticulous, proactive searches

• Highly articulate, showing attention to detail in both verbal and written form

• Skilled relationship builder, able to establish rapport with a wide range of stakeholders

• Intelligently maximising warm client and candidate relationships to generate new business

• Excellent listening and questioning skills

• Highly organised, with a track record of successfully working to deadlines and prioritising tasks

Benefits:

• 25 days annual leave, plus Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day inclusive

• Q5 is registered with CycleScheme, allowing employees to purchase a bike in a tax-efficient way through a salary sacrifice scheme.

• Competitive pension (3% you, 4% us)

• Exceptional maternity and paternity benefits

Why us?

• Our business overwhelmingly comes from recommendations and networking

• We’ve recently appointed two new business developers to further drive our growth

• Less PSL work, more exclusive and retained jobs with quality briefs

• We actively build on individuals’ strengths rather than using KPIs to drive generic activities

• Supportive, collaborative culture – we collectively evolve best practice and learn together

• Our consultants actively contribute to the direction of the business

• We're growing fast, and this is a chance to join us at a time when our consultants play a key role in shaping the business

• We'll invest in expansion as soon as there is a clear case for doing so - we'd like to think we're an attractive prospect for highly ambitious people interested in growing with us

We take great pride and care in finding and developing new team members, and are happy to have informal phone or face-to-face conversations with suitable candidates. If you're a successful recruiter who's tired of suits, being forced to work poor quality jobs, 08:30-18:00 hours and the nonsense that comes with management by boardroom, this is a brilliant opportunity to do all the bits of your job you love and lose the stuff you don't.
