School and Community Engagement Officer

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. 

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 Role

Day-to-day the role will involve partnership management of our schools and Trust partners to support their use and understanding of our platform and its insights. The role will also build community engagement with our national research projects and support wider partnership and network building. We anticipate this role will involve an element of travel to visit our school and Trust partners to provide support and training. Further information can be found in the job description.
