Think Equal’s vision is a safe, free and equal world, and our mission is to achieve a global system change in education by introducing Social and Emotional Learning as a compulsory new Early Years subject on national curricula around the world. We ask: “How can it be deemed compulsory for a child to learn mathematics in an age in which we have calculators, and yet it is optional for a child to learn how to value another human being and lead healthy relationships?” 

Think Equal has created a free programme in three levels: level one for 3-4 year olds, level two for 4-5 year olds, and level three for 5-6 year olds. The programme is a concrete 30-week toolkit with three lesson plans per week, each 45 minutes long. For each level, the teachers receive a kit that includes 22 books, 90 lesson plans, and a booklet of resources. Teachers receive training on the programme in addition to the step by step lesson plans, which were created to be very clear and easy to implement. The curriculum mediates, at age appropriate levels, competencies such as empathy, emotional literacy, resilience, self-regulation, critical thinking, gender equality, peaceful conflict resolution, and self-esteem. 

Effectively, the programme builds, through the conduit of teachers, the pro-social neuropathways in the child’s developing brains. The resultant competencies, values and skills of inclusion, gender equality, empathy, kindness, compassion, emotional intelligence (and 20 other such critical outcomes) evidentially last through adulthood, as long as they are taught holistically, continuously, comprehensively and repetitively as in the Think Equal model.

The post holder will manage the development, implementation, monitoring and reporting of the Think Equal programmes around the world. You will be working with the CEO to implement and manage the programme in the different programme countires around the world.

About Us

The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest community funder in the UK - we’re proud to award money raised by players of The National Lottery  to communities across the UK. Last year alone we gave out over half a billion pounds (£508.5 million) of National Lottery funding to over 11,000 community projects across the UK, enabling even more people and communities to bring their ideas and ambitions to life. We support a wide range of health, educational, environmental, and charitable projects with grants ranging from as little as £500 to multi-million-pound programmes. 86% of our new grants were for less than £10k.

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that when people are in the lead, communities thrive. National Lottery funding is open to everyone and we’re privileged to be able to work with the smallest of grassroots groups right up to large UK-wide charities. We have changed how we work across the Fund to help us serve people and communities more effectively, working flexibly and on their terms; working closer to communities.

About the Role

As a member of the England Senior Management Team, you’ll have a key leadership position within our England Funding Directorate.

You’ll carry overall accountability for all aspects of our 5 strategic programmes (A Better Start, HeadStart, Talent Match, Fulfilling Lives and Ageing Better). You’ll be responsible for ensuring that these long-term grants continue to be delivered to the highest standard and in line with their respective agreements but also, as and when the time comes, ensure that programme closures are effectively managed. Beyond delivery, your challenge will be to ensure that the learning from these programmes is maximised, distributed as effectively as possible both internally and externally, and that we develop a clear strategy and implementation plan for continued strategic and thematic funding across the Directorate.

You’ll be supported by an experienced team of Heads of Funding, Funding Managers and Funding Officers. In return, you’ll support, motivate and empower them to succeed through effective line management, coaching and provision of inspirational leadership.

Success in this role will depend on your ability to work collaboratively with your immediate teams, and other senior stakeholders across the Fund, specifically across the Engagement team, the Funding Strategy team and other Country Portfolio teams. Within the England Directorate, you will have to further strengthen the links between your team and the other funding teams, to ensure the learning from our strategic programmes is further embedded and that plans for the future are developed collaboratively, informed by and building on the experiences and ways of working in both strategic programmes teams, and further across the Directorate. 

You will be responsible for representing the Fund externally and developing excellent relationships with senior level stakeholders. The aim is to ensure that, as much as possible, learning from the strategic programmes reaches those in positions to make decisions, be it at local, regional or national level, relevant to the overall outcomes the strategic programmes aimed to achieve.

You’ll contribute as an active member of the England Senior Management Team and a senior leader at the Fund to the achievement of our strategic ambitions.

Of course, you’ll need to work within the Fund’s policies and procedures and the necessary legislation, and in a way that is in line with our vision and principles.
