Who we are

Our Company

We’re The Switch (formerly Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership), a pioneering charity driving change within education to empower children and young people to dream big and achieve their aspirations.

With more than 30 years of experience behind us, we’re focused and committed to helping our local East London community boost the career options for young people and give every child a bright and promising future.

We’re looking for individuals with the experience, gravitas and expertise to help us do more, help more young people and drive change.

You’ll join us as we change the narrative for young people, discover their potential, raise their aspirations and create opportunities. We are about matching businesses and education together to support amazing children to become exceptional adults.

And our values are what drive us. We measure our impact, ensuring we are always effective, we show empathy, respecting the views and perspectives of others, and we enjoy the engagement we create through our passion and fun and memorable experience. We are also committed and dedicated to the possibility of change and we work in collaboration with others, working together to find the right outcomes.

What’s more, as well as some great benefits we love to see that special spark in every member of our team so we’ll provide the learning and development opportunities to enable you to do your best work yet.
