The Education Team’s focus is developing and promoting financial literacy tools for primary schools to help children and their families learn about money. We work to train teachers to be able to deliver financial education and help them build it into their curriculum.

The Financial Education Delivery Coordinator position at Just Finance Foundation (JFF) is an exciting opportunity to participate in the delivery of new resources that will ensure children can access the education they need to manage money well in the future. We have ambitious targets to see our financial education resources in over 1,000 schools over the next 3 years. Your motivation and target driven ambition will help us expand LifeSavers, our free schools programme.

What we’re looking for:

· A strong communicator who is committed to serving schools, teachers, and children well

· A strategic thinker who is energised by the challenge of reaching a big audience

· A project manager who can develop plans to achieve goals within set timelines

· A team player who thrives in a supportive environment

· A data enthusiast who understands the purpose of gathering impact data, the value of analysing it, and the importance of sharing it with funders, supporters, and stakeholders

The Financial Education team is at the forefront of Financial Education in the UK. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced and innovative education professional to make a significant contribution to the future wellbeing of our children and communities.

What the role looks like

The Financial Education Coordinator will be responsible for recruiting and onboarding schools to embed our free financial education resources into primary school classrooms. You will have an excellent understanding of the challenges and pressures that exist within a primary school environment. You will be able to generate enthusiasm for financial education, as well as develop strong relationships with schools and other project collaborators. You will achieve this by proactively researching, networking, and making connections with schools in London and the Southeast region. You will speak to stakeholders, including teachers and school leadership, to promote our programme. Once they have registered, you will then train the teachers and school staff on how to incorporate our resources flexibly into their classrooms. The Financial Education Delivery Coordinator will need to work flexibly with each school to best meet their needs, according to our policies and guidelines. Reporting the progress of the various programmes is a key part of the role and the ability to collate data, identify risks, and meet deadlines is crucial.

As a part of the broader Programmes and Innovation department, this role is a creative opportunity to develop new ideas and ways of delivering financial literacy to primary schools. We encourage thinking outside the box that respects the demands placed on teachers and school staff. Crucial to the role is a willingness to be part of a wider project team, an ability to adapt and respond to change, and a belief in the impact that we can make to young people.

The Equal Rights Trust is looking for a Research and Collaboration Coordinator to help us as we work to support those working on the frontlines of the fight against discrimination.

About the Equal Rights Trust

At the Equal Rights Trust, our vision is an equal world: a world in which everyone – irrespective of their identity, status or beliefs – can participate in every area of life on an equal basis. We work towards this vision by addressing one of the root causes of inequality: discrimination. We do this through the law. Our mission is to work in partnership to support the development, adoption, implementation and use of equality laws.

In 2023, following consultation with equality activists, academics and advocates across the globe, we launched our new strategic plan, Equal in Dignity: Equal in Rights. This plan sees us focus on addressing four “gaps” which prevent the realisation of the rights to equality and non-discrimination. Now, we’re working with the UN Human Rights Office to support equality movements in places like Armenia, Brazil and Korea as they work to secure the adoption of new equality laws. With academics and other experts, we’re driving legal innovation, examining how to improve the implementation of equality laws and how to develop equality law in response to emerging challenges, such as the growing use of AI and the climate crisis. And we’re supporting other civil society organisations to use equality law and integrate an equality by design approach in their work.

About the role

Our new Research and Collaboration Coordinator will play a central role in delivering our mission to support those working to advance equality through the law. Working closely with our Director and Head of Research, you will help us develop and strengthen our partnerships, respond to the needs and demands of our partners and support the development and delivery of a diverse range of research projects and initiatives.

• Undertaking legal and policy research and drafting research reports;
• Collating and analysing the findings of qualitative research;
• Undertaking legal analysis and developing legal briefs and advocacy submissions;
• Developing and providing training and guidance with and for equality activists;
• Assisting with the design of new projects and initiatives, and developing funding proposals;
• Managing the delivery of a number of projects and initiatives, under supervision;
• Other tasks as required from time to time.

About you

Essential

• An undergraduate or graduate degree in law (preferred) or other relevant discipline;
• Knowledge of international human rights and / or equality law;
• Experience of working with equality activists or human rights defenders;
• Experience of developing and producing high quality research reports for publication;

Are you passionate about using your lived experience to improve the employment opportunities for Black Disabled people?

Disability Advice Service Lambeth (dasl) is Lambeth’s peer-led Disabled People’s Organisation. 

You will lead a two-year project contributing to the work of the No Wrong Door partnership – local organisations and local residents working together to ensure there is ‘No Wrong Door’ for Black Disabled people seeking employment, as they can expect excellent support from any organisation. 

We want to change the system, influencing employment support providers and their Commissioners to ensure support for Black Disabled people who are seeking employment is appropriate, accessible and inclusive.

You will have excellent project management skills and use your lived, personal experience of race and disability equity issues to implement change, working collaboratively with residents (Lived Experience Leads), partner organisations and employment support providers. Your role will involve working primarily with Black Disabled Lambeth residents. You will understand and encounter the intersections between being Black and Disabled and the barriers to employment and be able to demonstrate creative and people-centred approaches to influencing change.

dasl’s success comes from dedicated work of our skilled staff, many of whom are Disabled people. You will be valued for who you are in our supportive and friendly team. We pride ourselves on the support we offer staff.  We work flexibly between home and office. Our office in Brixton is accessible.

We highly recommend contacting us to learn more about this exciting role. We can offer a 1:1 informal meeting via phone or video call.

This is a rolling recruitment - applicants will be shortlisted and interviewed as soon as possible. We encourage you to apply as soon as you are able.
