The Student Volunteering & Social Impact Coordinator leads the coordination of London Play Design’s Student Volunteering Programme, working closely with delivery/ Technical teams, partnerships staff and senior management.
This role focuses on connecting people, projects and learning, rather than carrying sole responsibility for delivery. The post-holder coordinates systems, supports students and ensures quality, while working as part of a wider team.
The role is designed to be manageable, collaborative and sustainable, with clear shared ownership of outputs.
The role operates across two interconnected strands:
Student learning, insight and impact
Supporting students to understand the social impact of London Play Design’s work, contribute to evaluation and learning, and help strengthen partnerships through the development of case studies and programme insights.

- Developing clear volunteering pathways, role descriptions and learning outcomes
- Acting as the main point of contact for student volunteers
- Monitoring engagement, attendance and well-being in collaboration with on-site teams

On-site supervision and safeguarding are led by delivery staff. You will not be expected to supervise students independently on live sites.

You will coordinate and quality-check student-led research and impact work, rather than producing it yourself.
Your role will be to:
- Support students to collect qualitative and quantitative data
- Guide students in drafting case studies, learning notes and impact stories
- Review work, give feedback and ensure clarity and consistency
- Coordinate publication processes alongside the Partnerships team or delegated student roles
- Share learning internally to support organisational development
- Supporting funding applications and reporting with structured evidence and insights
You will not be responsible for writing funding applications or producing full reports independently.
3. Connect Students to Live Projects
You will work with internal teams to place students on appropriate projects for learning and case-study purposes, and support volunteer days and construction delivery
This includes:
- Matching students to projects and departments
- Liaising with technical and Partnership teams to support access and information
- Connecting students with partner charities where appropriate
- Keeping student case-study activity on track
- Working with the technical team to align student support with project needs
- Balancing learning needs with delivery realities
4. Maintain University Partnerships
London Play Design already has established relationships with a small number of universities (typically 2–3).
You will:
- Maintain communication with university contacts
- Represent the organisation at a small number of events or talks each year (approx. 3–4)
- Support the ongoing development of placement and volunteering opportunities.
5. Support Communications & Storytelling (Shared Responsibility)
Working with student volunteers and the Partnerships team, you will support:
- Clear and accessible communication of London Play Design’s work
- Impact storytelling for websites, publications and social media
- Sharing community learning and project outcomes
You will not be the sole content producer or final editor for all communications.
How You’ll Work
- As part of a collaborative, supportive team
- By coordinating and enabling others, not doing everything yourself
- With delegated student roles supporting research, writing, construction support and communications
- With senior and partnership staff sharing strategic and reporting responsibilities
Skills & Experience

- Strong commitment to social impact and community-based work
- Experience coordinating programmes in education, volunteering or community contexts

About the role
At The Brilliant Club, we mobilise the PhD community to support students from less advantaged backgrounds to access the most competitive universities and succeed when they get there. We work with students who, because of their family income, parental history or the postcode they live in, are at risk of missing out on the life-changing opportunities linked to higher education.
We are delighted to be hiring a Research and Evaluation Consultancy Lead to join The Brilliant Club. This pivotal role will drive the charity’s research and evaluation consultancy work through Brilliant Consulting. Through our consultancy work, we have partnered with a range of universities and education organisations, such as the Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes in Higher Education (TASO) and The Sutton Trust.
The Consultancy Lead will provide research and evaluation services to universities and other education organisations working in the university access, student success and wider education space. This role will work alongside a Senior Research and Evaluation Officer to deliver high-quality consultancy projects and will report to the charity’s Director of Research and Impact. The role will involve collaborating with different teams from across the organisation and will include coordinating and managing colleagues on consultancy activities. The role will also contribute significantly to business development work to support the charity’s income generation.
The consultancy team is part of the charity’s wider research and impact team, who collectively have two areas of responsibility: evaluating and reporting the impact of the charity’s programmes and providing research and evaluation consultancy and strategy support to education organisations.
The successful candidate will have strong quantitative and qualitative research skills and have a proven track record of delivering evaluation projects in education or a related field. They will be highly experienced with managing stakeholder relationships and delivering concurrent projects and, ideally, will have also contributed to bid writing and/or other income-generation activities. While this role can be based at any of our offices throughout the UK, some travel will be required (mainly to London) to attend in-person meetings.
We support less advantaged students to access the most competitive universities and succeed when they get there.

About the Role
As a Heartlands Fundraising Officer you will primarily be based at Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham, with occasional travel to other hospital sites and off site to attend meetings and events.
You will be key in helping to build new relationships with the public and hospital staff within Heartlands Hospital, as well as with existing supporters.
The role includes proactively going out to meet people to provide information about the work of the Charity and inspiring people to fundraise. It also involves spending time in the Charity Hub to speak to hospital staff, patients and members of the public and tell them more about our work.
Within the role there is opportunity to grow and develop into areas of interest and learn about the work of the wider charity.
The Fundraising Officer will work closely with other members of the hospital charity, providing secretarial and administrative support to the Fundraising Team and the Charity overall, including having responsibility for accurate data inputting of donations, fundraising and Gift Aid claims and correspondence with donors and fundraisers.
The role will involve lots of face-to-face fundraising so it would suit someone who is very sociable and is confident talking about the Charity to a variety of audiences.
This role will involve occasional evening and weekend work at charity events and events organised by our supporters.
