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.

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.

You’ll lead with heart and purpose, supporting and motivating a dedicated team of staff, while ensuring every supporter feels valued and connected to the hospice.

From individual giving to legacy fundraising, community events to corporate partnerships – you’ll oversee all our fundraising income streams and build long-term supporter engagement.
