Safeguarding Statement
The Access Project is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Our safeguarding system is underpinned by a range of policies and procedures which encourage and promote safe working practice across the organisation.
About the Key Project
The Key Project is an initiative at an Islington secondary school, Central Foundation Boys’ School, which aims to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds to gain admission to top universities. The Project was launched in 2012 through a partnership between international law firm Slaughter and May, ground-breaking educational charity The Access Project and Central Foundation Boys’ School, an Ofsted rated Outstanding school. Slaughter and May provides the majority of the funding and some of the volunteers for the programme.
There are three parts to the Key Project role:
1. Tutoring: Students are either matched with a volunteer tutor to provide them with an hour-long weekly tutorial, or they take part in weekly small group tutor sessions that are led by paid professional tutors.
2. Enrichment: students are offered debating events, workshops, lectures and career insight sessions where they have the chance to discuss the latest developments in science, media and politics and gain a better understanding of the City of London. They can also apply for work experience placements at Slaughter and May or The Access Project’s other corporate partners.
3. University support: students are guided through all aspects of the university application process. They are offered university trips, university course choice and personal statement workshops, as well as individualised one to one mentoring. They are also offered specific sessions for Oxbridge and Medicine applicants, as well as mock admission interviews and entrance exam support.
About the three partners
Central Foundation Boys’ School

In 2016, the school was ranked as the 64th best school in the country in the new Progress 8 measure for GCSE, and the school’s Sixth Form was in the top 15% of
all post-16 providers in the country. Since the Key Project was launched, five times more students are going to the top-third most-selective universities in the country
The Access Project
The Access Project believes that every young person should have the opportunity to fulfil their potential and make the most of their education. They aim to reduce the educational barriers their students face, helping them to pursue a career in their chosen field and follow their dreams.
Their mission is to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access top universities, through a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring. TAP work with them to make good applications, get the grades and transition to university.
The programme combats educational inequality and improves social mobility by raising students’ grades and supporting them to understand the pathway to a top university.

Use your leadership skills to inspire people to follow Jesus among the world’s least reached people.
About us
At Feba, we are passionate about God’s mission and the creative use of radio and audio media to inspire people to follow Jesus. We have a particular heart for people in contexts considered closed, where people might not hear the gospel by any other means or where it’s difficult to be a Christian. These people probably won’t be reached without us, and radio and audio media provide a way of reaching them at scale.
About our development
Since we were established 65 years ago as a shortwave radio ministry much has changed with big shifts in technology, missiology and geopolitics.
We no longer operate radio infrastructure or ‘send’ missionaries from the UK. Instead, we support local people with training, expertise and funding to produce culturally appropriate programmes in a listener’s ‘heart language’ - and to follow up in-person wherever possible.
Our locally-led approach, in line with best-practice in Christian mission, is having greater and more enduring impact, and has enabled our work to expand far beyond our original focus on South Asia to countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
About the role
Feba now seeks a CEO to lead our growth, develop and deliver a strategic plan, embed an empowering, learning culture in our team and build relationships in the UK Church and with our sister organisations around the world.
About you
You will have experience of leadership in a multi-cultural context, a track record of delivering organisational change, growth, strategy development and execution, and a love of mission. You will come with an empowering, prayerful and servant-hearted leadership style that listens deeply and fosters collaboration.
If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you.

Abuse changes childhoods, but so could you.
- Are you looking for a role in an organisation where the work you do makes a real difference to people's lives?
- Are you looking to develop your fundraising experience in a sector leading team?
If the answer is yes, then the High Value Communications Officer role could be for you.
Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. We all share it. And it drives our Fundraising team to get out there and bring in the funds we need to protect children and prevent abuse. Join us as a High Value Communications Officer, and get more people involved in change that means everything.
Child abuse is preventable, and the need for NSPCC's Childline, local services, and public campaigning has never been more urgent. Fundraising underpins our commitment to vulnerable children across the country - as a charity we rely upon our generous supporters for almost 90% of our annual income.
- Do you have excellent writing skills, a strong eye for detail, and experience of presenting information in a clear and persuasive way for a range of audiences?
- Are you great at working collaboratively with colleagues and managing your workload to meet competing deadlines?
- Are you a strong project manager with great organsiation skills?
If so, we want to hear from you.
The High Value Communications team connects our donors to the cause and makes the case for supporting the NSPCC. As one of three High Value Communications Officers, your work will help us to raise significant funds. You'll be developing and sharing key fundraising resources, bespoke materials, and engaging messages that communicate the need for and impact of the NSPCC's work with children.

We offer a variety of rewards and benefits including; generous annual leave, employee benefits and assistance programme, pension and life assurance schemes.
Join us at this exciting time and you'll become part of an expanding team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You'll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that'll bring the best out in you. And you'll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and impacts millions of young lives. We want to ensure roles are accessible and inclusive of everyone, which is why the NSPCC offers a high degree of flexibility around ways of working.The team includes a mix of London-based and remote workers, and hybrid working is very welcome. We have a minimum of one working day in the office to claim London weighting allowance.
As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.

This is a role for someone with a passion for peacebuilding and local leadership and a strong commitment to shifting power in the international system. You will have excellent analytical skills with experience of developing research, information or MEL systems in the international development sector.
