The Ramblers is Britain’s walking charity. We open the way so everyone can enjoy the benefits of walking.
It’s easy to think everyone has the same opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. But look a little deeper and you’ll find lots of barriers standing in the way. So we’re continuing to fight for change. We campaign for the public’s right to enjoy the outdoors, protect paths, build skills and offer different ways to get out walking in nature.
Our programmes have a big impact in local communities: Ramblers Wellbeing Walks help people take the first step to a healthier happier lifestyle, and the Ramblers Out There Award gives young adults aged 18–26 the opportunity to kickstart their journey into the outdoors.
Through our refreshed strategy, we’ll build on this experience and grow our impact through activities that prioritise the needs of communities who have the least access and face the most barriers walking outside in nature.

This role would be ideal for someone who is looking to take the next step in their career and is keen to be at the forefront of evidence-based practice in a supportive team.
About the Team

Our centres provide a high-impact education programme which includes practical learning support, pastoral care, and motivational and confidence-building activities for young people aged 7-18. Our aim is to enable students from the least advantaged neighbourhoods to realise their ambitions and achieve their wonderful potential.
As the UK’s leading university access organisation, our staff team is helping over 50,000 young people each year at its 43 learning centres and extension projects across England and Scotland, and we plan to scale-up our provision to 50 centres over the coming years.
We are looking for graduates who will enjoy working each day with young people and who will thrive in a frontline, community-based, fast-paced and rewarding role. You will be taking up a permanent role as an Education Worker on IntoUniversity’s Graduate Scheme, helping to change the lives of young people.
We believe that our Graduate Scheme is one of the most exciting in the charity sector, an excellent career opportunity with exceptional training and hands-on experience, opportunities for promotion, and the chance to work with young people and colleagues who will challenge and inspire you.
Locations: We have positions available in Clacton-on-Sea, Gateshead/Newcastle, London, Nottingham
Contract: Full-time, permanent

What to expect on the Graduate scheme
How does the Graduate Scheme work?

Our Graduate Scheme provides two years of training and career development and we ask candidates to commit to staying with the charity for at least this duration.
After completing your first year of the programme there will be the opportunity for everyone on the graduate scheme to take on a new challenge and apply for a promotion to Senior Education Worker, subject to satisfactory performance in role.
And after you’ve completed the two-year scheme, you’re guaranteed a position with us - our Graduate Scheme roles are permanent jobs.
New job roles and further promotions are regularly available - many of our Education Workers go on to become Centre Leaders running our centres, or take up promotion opportunities in central operational or Head Office roles.
What could my day look like?
The Education Worker role is a frontline, fast-paced and rewarding role where no two weeks will look the same. A typical day will have different activities, possibly spread between the IntoUniversity centre, partner schools and the offices of a corporate partner.
In the morning, you might be setting off with resources to run a workshop for sixth-form students in their secondary school. In the afternoon you may be setting up the classroom ahead of running Primary Academic Support for young people in your IntoUniversity centre. On other days, you may be travelling to a corporate partner to run a business simulation workshop for 15 year-olds or leading a group of final year primary school students on a campus visit for their graduation.
As an Education Worker, you’ll always be delivering the programme as part of your centre team, which means that any delivery is always a team effort.

About the Role
Our Pro Bono division delivers projects free-of-charge to charities and not-for-profit organisations within the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors, with the aim of making a real difference to causes that our staff care about. We offer our full range of services on a pro bono basis, working collaboratively across our divisions and office locations to secure the right expertise to fulfil project briefs. Examples of recent pro bono projects can be found on our website and include creating patient information and education materials, and helping organisations to build their evidence base.
By joining as an Analyst within our Pro Bono division, you will develop the appropriate skills and deliver projects that require a broad range of technical expertise and knowledge across our service offerings, including health economics, literature reviews, medical writing, peer-reviewed publications, medical education and design materials.

Key responsibilities will include:

Hybrid Working Policy: We recognise that home-working can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments. At the same time, we believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost.
Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow our colleagues who have passed probation to work from home for up to half of the time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. During your probationary period (normally the first 6 months of the role) you will be able to work from home for 1 day per week.

We welcome applications from candidates with a diverse range of specialisms, including but not limited to biology, chemistry, pharmacy and medicine
- An interest in working with numerical data
- The ability to handle quantitative data comfortably
- An aptitude for, and experience of, planning and writing scientific documents which could include lab reports, dissertations, poster or oral presentations and articles for websites or student magazines, peer-reviewed scientific publications, book chapters, grant applications and regulatory documents

- An exceptional level of attention to detail
- Strong analytical skills
- Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage your time to work across multiple projects at the same time and prioritise tasks appropriately to maximise productivity
- Exceptional written English, which you will use in including client work, email communication and internal messaging
- Effective verbal communication skills, which you will use when working with colleagues and clients
- The ability to tailor your communication style for a variety of audiences, including healthcare professionals, patient groups, suppliers, clients, non-scientific colleagues and governmental bodies
- A proactive mindset, including the ability to recognise challenges and suggest solutions with limited guidance
- A collaborative approach to working, where you share knowledge with others in your team to promote the attainment of a common objective, and work together to overcome obstacles to success
- The self-awareness to reflect on your own work and performance, alongside a willingness to take ownership of your work and the development of your career
- A willingness to get involved with, and contribute to, your wider division
- Embodying Costello Medical’s values, which includes being committed to delivering high quality work, championing innovation in healthcare, acting with integrity and supporting your colleagues as they would support you

What We Offer
A starting salary of £39,000 with a comprehensive reward package and other benefits.
Please note that this role is available in our Global Headquarters in Cambridge, as well as our London, Bristol and Manchester offices. Please note office space in London is severely limited until we move to our new office in late 2024, so alternative working arrangements may need to be made in the short term. You can learn more about our office locations on our website. We have start dates available throughout 2024 which occur on a monthly basis. You will be asked to detail your preferred start date within your application.
How to Apply
You are required to submit your CV and a cover letter via our online application form which can be found on our website.
In your cover letter, you must explain why you think you would be suited to the role and why you would like to join Costello Medical, with examples to support both. While we embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to innovate and improve processes, we want to understand your unique skills and experiences throughout the recruitment process. Therefore, if you use AI to assist with your application, we recommend that you do not rely solely on this technology to generate your application materials. As your role may involve developing new written content from scratch and handling confidential data that cannot be uploaded to AI technology, it is important for us to assess your own skills and abilities.
Please contact the Talent Acquisition team if you have any questions about the role or application process.

Citizens UK
Citizens UK is a people power alliance of diverse local communities working together for the common good.
Our mission is to develop leaders, strengthen civic organisations and make change. Our 550 member communities are deeply rooted in their local areas and connect every day to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Through the method of community organising, we enable people experiencing powerlessness to develop their leadership and come together with the power and strategy to make change.
This leads to hundreds of neighbourhood improvements - from zebra crossings outside primary schools to renovated public toilets in cemeteries. And it leads to some of the biggest campaign impacts in the UK, such as winning over £2 billion of wages through the UK Living Wage campaign, securing a legal cap on the cost of credit to control exploitative lending, and ending the detention of children for immigration purposes. We enable local campaigns to grow into large-scale social change projects such as the Living Wage Foundation, Parent Action, and Sponsor Refugees, that form an integral part of our theory of change. The most prominent of these is the rapidly growing Living Wage Foundation with a network of over 14,000 accredited Living Wage Employers across the UK.
