ASN has a small staff team of 5, no office, and a team of 50+ dedicated volunteers. We pride ourselves on providing a critically needed service and solving problems creatively.
ASN works alongside external partners and grassroot activists in European countries to provide immediate tangible support to people who would otherwise be forced to continue a pregnancy. One of the things our staff and volunteers value about this work is how we make a real difference to people’s lives.
About ASN’s Helpline
The Abortion Support Network helpline comprises three volunteer teams:
-
the phoner team, who communicate with clients and undertake casework
-
the accommodation team, who research and book travel and accommodation for clients at the request of the phoner team
-
the translation team, who provide written translation of client documentation, such as medical documents and letters
There are currently approximately 40 volunteers across these teams, supported by two members of staff, ASN’s Service Manager and Senior Helpline Coordinator (Phoner Team). The Senior Helpline Coordinator (Accommodation & Translation) will work closely with the other two roles, and will have a particular focus on supporting our accommodation team and our translation team.
A typical helpline shift runs for one week, from Wednesday morning to Tuesday evening. The shift is staffed by a small team of three volunteer phoners, one accommodation volunteer and an on-call duty manager. All helpline work must take place between set hours (currently 9am-8pm on weekdays and 10am-1pm on weekends) but aside from this, volunteers choose the hours they wish to work, giving around one hour a day for the duration of the shift. The translation team undertake written translations (mostly medical documents) as and when required and this work is allocated by the on-call manager.
The role of on-call manager will be shared equally between the two Senior Helpline Coordinators, with the Service Manager providing emergency cover where required. Whilst on-call to the helpline, the Senior Helpline Coordinators provide support to all frontline volunteers on the shift, offering guidance on complex cases where needed, approving client grants and acting as the credit-card holder for payments.
The helpline is contacted by over 1000 people a year; the service is the link between people in difficult circumstances and the funding and information that can help them access a safe and legal abortion.

The Organisation
ImpactEd Evaluation (part of ImpactEd Group) is an award-winning social enterprise that exists to help evaluate, understand and improve impact in education. In our education system, we invest huge amounts of time, money and energy in different programmes and interventions to improve outcomes for pupils. Yet far too often, we don’t know what is working – and what isn’t. We address this evaluation deficit, helping organisations and schools to better understand what is working to make a difference to the lives of young people. We do this through a combination of hands-on partnership, training and consultancy, and our digital platform which makes monitoring and evaluation quicker, easier and more effective.
Since being founded in 2017, we have grown rapidly. In 2018, we won the Teach First Innovation Award; in 2019, our work was profiled by the Department for Education; and in 2020, we published the largest pupil-facing piece of research into the impact of lockdown, winning the Fair Education Alliance Scaling Award in the same year. Since then, we have expanded to reach over 1000 schools, 80 education organisations and more than 250,000 young people annually. We are a skilled team of over 30 people, supported by a Board with a track record of social impact and educational development.
This year we have expanded to create the ImpactEd Group, which supports purpose driven organisations to make better decisions using high quality evidence. Our strategy is currently being updated to this effect. As a social enterprise moving towards employee ownership, our commitment across all parts of the Group is to empower our partners to make better decisions on behalf of their beneficiaries and empower our team to make decisions on behalf of the organisation.
The Opportunity
We work with both schools and education organisations such as charities, universities and education technology companies (our ‘impact partners’). Our work with impact partners focuses on helping these organisations to develop their impact evaluation methods and deliver evaluations. We divide this work into four different strands: evaluation design, capacity building workshops, use of our School Impact Platform and external evaluations. This role revolves around the implementation of the School Impact Platform in particular and focuses on some large-scale projects commencing shortly.
We are looking for a candidate who can lead on school onboarding and engagement. This means they have to have knowledge of the school context and how schools work internally as well as be comfortable communicating with different stakeholders in schools. In particular, you would be supporting schools as they are being onboarded onto the platform (meaning setting up their accounts and data collection tools) and follow up with them regularly to ensure good quality data collection is happening. You would work closely with our Impact Partnerships Officer, who will lead on the project, and our platform lead, who will provide support from a technical and product development side. You would need to be strong in written communication and enjoy engaging with schools and answering their queries.
About You
We are looking for some of the following attributes, though you might be more experienced in some areas than others:
-
Understanding of the UK education system including understanding of school data, roles and terminology
-
Experience of working within an administrative and/or customer service role.
-
High IT literacy (ability to learn how to use new systems quickly)
-
Track record of effective process and project management.
Why Us?
As an organisation we care deeply about creating a meaningful place to work and supporting people to grow personally and professionally. These are reflected in our organisational values and our associated commitments to:
-
Agile and flexible working: responsive management, flexible hours, hybrid or fully remote working
-
Personal excellence: we invest significantly in professional development, including an external mentor for every staff member, an individual CPD budget, and formal and informal training and support
-
Mental health and wellbeing: access to health and wellbeing advice and free therapist support
Diversity and inclusion at ImpactEd Group
As a growing organisation we are committed to:
-
Becoming increasingly representative of the sector and geographies that we operate in
-
Providing a positive experience of work as part of an inclusive culture led by our organisational values
-
Maintaining an annual EDI action plan - led by the internal team and supported by a Board sponsor
What to expect from the recruitment process:
-
All applications are anonymised until the point of interview
-
We use a recruitment system, Applied, which debiases the recruitment process
-
We implement a standardised interview template and competencies matrix.
To Apply
To apply, you will be asked to submit your CV and answer 3 work-based scenario questions and 1 motivation question.
