We are looking for some of the following attributes, though you might be more experienced in some areas than others:

Being the sole representative for a partner school, you will need to use your ability to work independently and with initiative, often organising your own time to meet deadlines. You’ll also need to have a strong aptitude for developing relationships with a range of stakeholders ensuring you uphold high standards of communication and adapt your style for different audiences. The nature of this role will also require you to demonstrate adaptability, resilience and the ability to cope with some uncertainty.

It is expected that the majority (if not all) of the programmes managed by this individual will be online, with remote live technical support provided to tutors. While you do not need to have any specialist technical skills, you're more likely to be successful if you are open to developing your IT troubleshooting skills.

This position would suit you if you’re looking to develop your experience in the education or charity sectors. Existing experience of working with young people and/or project management in a charity or education setting would be an asset.

As a charity that values and celebrates people's diversity and champions opportunities for all young people, we are keen to receive applications from people who have experienced disadvantage and from those who are of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities who are currently underrepresented in the organisation. The role would be best suited if you are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, as well as, committed to promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children.

If you are dedicated to ensuring young people from all backgrounds reach a meaningful level of academic attainment and are passionate about bringing about this change, please apply today or get in touch for more information.

You will likely be more successful in this role if you have:

· Experience of working with young people and/or project management.

· Evidence of an interest in education and/or the third sector.
