TEP was founded by the Directors of ImpactEd Group and is incubated by the Group, receiving operational and governance support from Group Services. ImpactEd Group supports education and purpose-driven organisations to maximise their potential. We do this by helping our partners to be consistently impactful and operationally sustainable.

The Engagement Platform (TEP)

Our Vision: An education system where school engagement is consistently understood and acted on to improve pupil outcomes, employee culture and community relations.

Our Mission: The Engagement Platform exists to support schools and Trusts to easily, robustly and systematically understand and improve the engagement of pupils and students, parents and carers, employees and community stakeholders.

TEP exists to support schools and trusts to easily, robustly and systematically understand and improve school engagement. As a platform, TEP captures and reports on engagement across various dimensions and stakeholder groups: pupils and students, parents and carers, employees and community stakeholders. TEP helps schools to understand and act on this data. The platform's ability to track changes over time enables schools to measure the impact of their interventions, ensuring that their engagement strategies are effective and adjusted as needed. This action-oriented approach ensures that school engagement is not simply a metric or backward-looking accountability tool, it is core to school improvement.

Alongside providing detailed school and Multi-Academy Trust level insights, we are building the national evidence base around school engagement as a lead indicator. Our research unit provides national insights and research publications to support school level insight and build better sector understanding of school employee engagement. We engage with the TEP school community to provide research insights, case studies and best practice examples to support their practice.

The Role

This external facing role will involve selling TEP, building new partnerships and networking with senior leaders across the UK Education Sector to maximise TEP’s impact.

• Demonstrable track record in partnership development, account management, or educational sales
