Who we are
The problem - On average, 160 young people are excluded from school each week. Once excluded, prospects for these young people are bleak, with only 4% achieving good GCSE grades, and 67% entering sustained education, employment or training compared to 96% of their non-excluded peers. This can be a pipeline to prison, with concerning statistics showing 63% of prisoners having been excluded from school.
Our mission - To ensure that young people who have been excluded from school are not excluded from society.
Who we serve - We support the hardest to reach young people in the most disadvantaged communities, each of whom are most at risk of experiencing school exclusion or are at risk of being excluded. Young people who are eligible for free school meals are 4x more likely to get excluded, along with black Caribbean boys. Young people with special educational needs are also six times as likely to be excluded as their peers.
Our work - We work in a number of different settings both during term time and after school. Our coaches lead small groups of 8-10 young people, using sport as a hook and mentorship as an anchor to develop their soft skills, as well as improve their physical & mental wellbeing. This, coupled with exposure to the work place through Career Taster Days, raises their aspirations and puts young people in a better position to enter sustained education, employment or training (EET) when they leave school.
The Basics
Salary – £32,000 to £38,000
Reporting to – COO
Location – London office based with expectation to travel to regions and some flexibility to work from home
Hours – Full time 37.5 hours
Job overview
The Operations Manager role is a new position to support our next growth phase. The role will manage the effective running of the charities day-to-day operations working across the organisation to ensure organisation efficiency.

This is a broad role, which requires a dynamic person who can lend their hand to support a wide range of projects. You will be an impeccable communicator and be on the forefront of continuous improvement.
